# playdate-and-gopher ## May 13, 2022 Yesterday I came across an article on the web about Gopher which mentioned one of the co-founders of Panic, the company that makes the Playdate game system has a Gopherhole. (DIR) Steven Frank I had thought abut pre-ordering a Playdate when it was first announced, mostly because Lucas Pope was developing a game for it, and I really enjoy Papers Please and Return of the Obra Dinn. Reading through the site is informative and the posts about the Playdate in particular are informative and make me want to get a Playdate, even though they're on backorder until 2023. Still something to look forward too.
