You know you can get Sonic the Hedgehog for the Nintendo DS now, right? It already has an LED backlight, and a better screen than the GG will ever have.Sega Game Gear!
Who'd have thought a little LED technology would seriously extend this little console's runtime (backlight modification)? I just won one off eBay should be en-route soon, can hardly wait... Sonic the Hedgehog - awesome! :thumbsup:
I loved the Dark Tower game, too. But the tower crapped out literally the day the warranty expired. My parents were not pleased.
We played the hell out of that game, the first 2 towers/games failed within the warranty period and then Toys R Us had the game on closeout for $25 bucks and I bought 2, both towers were flawless.
Gave one to my cuz and sold the other complete game on Ebay for insane money.
Those damn Brigands.
I believe it was StarHalo who located (and posted) a photo
of the Radio Shack version. It had a few minor changes (keyboard layout ?),
but was also manufactured by Sharp, and fundametally the same device.
They both took the same "memory upgrade" module, too.
And, of course, they ran the same (BASIC) programs.
Not sure if these are awesome but here are two pocketable calculators, each with an addition and a subtraction side.
Both about 80 years old.
I had one of those Radio Shack basic computers also. I think I paid $70 for it at the time. It was a marvel of engineering in it's day.
Almost forgot this one here.

Nope, still before my time, though somebody on EBay has one with the box and manuals for ~$250. I definitely remember Simon though, and I got a lot of mileage out of my Merlin (though it took too many batteries.) And speaking of taking too many batteries, I also owned a Pac-Man Mini-Arcade:
I remember being as proud as punch having the first Nintendo handheld game on the block back in the early 80's I had this one (Snoopy Tennis) and my brother got "Parachute" :thumbsup:
