Adding a few Next and The Spectrum enhancements to the Odin remaster catalog.

In this case, the Next Gamepad option.

Definite article Spectrum, and indefinite article Spectrum. Very similar from the top, not so much from the back.

We don't just make free protest stickers that you can print at home. We also really, really like ALL stickers. Especially skateboard stickers. Here's a peak at some of them.

Yeah. It’s basically the love child of TheSpectrum and a Super Pocket. The aspect ratio is very odd too. A pity they didn’t find a 4:3 display like on the Retroid Pocket Nova.
