The Other HandHelds

[jamcat]

Hey, besides the Game Boy, does anybody still play those other handheld games? I'm talking about the electronic/LCD kind. I have quite a few of them, like Battleship, Connect Four, Boggle, Othello, and Lights Out. Recently I picked up the electronic version of my favorite boardgame, Rush Hour. The thing is supposed to have over 1200 puzzles in it.

I still have several myself. An ORIGINAL Merlin ... A Mattel football. Blah Blah.

I still play a couple of quarters now and then on my Mattel Football 2. We used to play the hell out of those when we were kids.

I've still got my original one somewhere around here, but my wife bought me the reissue a christmas or two ago. They screwed the sound up on the reissue, especially the kick-off music. It really detracts from the nostalgia trip :mad:

I did have a little keychain mini game that had versions of tetris and breakout, as well as some bad knock offs of frogger and galaga, I think it was called "Blockade". It was a good little time waster.

Yeah, I have a key chain version of Lights Out. I also have the round ball version of the Lights Out game called Orbix. That is cool to play in the dark. As you might guess, I do love Lights Out type games. I'd love to see a version of Lights Out on the GBA.

I'm sure there is a homebrew of it. Lights Out appears to be some programmer rite of passage.

I have these as well and they never get old. I love 'em.

I am a handheld junkie I have:

Original Super Mario Bros Game and Watch (needs a battery but i still seriously think it doesn't work

Nintendo re-issued some game and watch games as key chain games about 5 years ago. I have:

Fire
Parachute
Donkey Kong Jr

I have all of the limited release Sega handhelds done through McDonalds last year but like 1. Shane has a full set (I don't think he remembers them which is why he didn't bother to mention it.

I have reissues of Mattel Football, Basketball and Baseball

I have a handheld Pinball game. Its just called Pinball.

A Pacman game on a pen

Then of course the traditional stuff like:

Lynx
Sega Nomad
GBA SP
I think thats about it.

For some reason I seem to have built up a little collection of handhelds despite the fact that I wasn't really into them.
