Not mine, but I always enjoy seeing these monstrosities.
AVGN is about to meet his match
This is the ideal Gameboy body. You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like (just be sure to have all the batteries nearby).
8AAs, right?
How many minutes do the batteries last?
I had the GameBoy Color version of the magnifying glass/speaker/fake joystick combo. It ran the speakers and the light off of its own pair of batteries. The speakers were an upgrade (especially for the stereo sound) but everything else was a gimmick. The incandescent bulb was too dim and housing around the screen made it darker and even more difficult to see:
Later on in early 2000s we got the worm light. LED and was powered from the link cable port. It was considerably brighter and hardly affected battery life from what I remember:
We also eventually got magnifying glasses that didn’t have the housing around the screen to darken it:
Those worm lights were the first time I ever saw an LED. It was crazy to me that it was so bright it was blue.
Same but I was 12 at the time so I didn’t think much about the bulb tech nor it’s color temperature. I was just like “wow that’s a bright bulb”.
Later on around 2005 I got my first piece of tech with an OLED screen: a Kenwood car stereo. It wouldn’t be for nearly another 20 years when I finally got my first OLED TV.

Yes.
Still longer than the GameGear :(

About tree fiddy.
You have a GameShark plugged into a game genie? The hells the point of that.
You’ve never sharked a genie? What a prude!
“THIS ISN’T EVEN MY FINAL FORM!”
Cool watch.
Gaming in the 90’s was so glorious.
What would actually happen if you used an action replay and a game genie at the same time? Would it not even be able to boot up? Would it work and just one supercedes the other? I only ever had game genie so I couldn’t test it. Does anyone know?
WHO downvoted this, and why do you hate amazing things???
I tried to find a photo of this janky Game Gear peripheral I had, but came across this angelfire website instead: https://www.angelfire.com/games4/icecoldatari/Gamegear.html
I feel like this website may actually be from the 90s… It’s literally just a person talking about the cool shit they have for their Game Gear, and the only email address is @aol.com. Made me very nostalgic.
Batteries drained in 5 minutes
Where’s the camera?
“So I have this ultra portable gaming device…”
A game genie and action replay on one unit? I seem to recall that being a very bad idea.
You might brick your game, but that’s a small price to pay for electronic gaming dominance.
This is like the Thanos glove with the stones (can’t remember the actual names) but for Nintendo in the 80s and 90s. The only thing missing is a power glove which it’s all mounted on, and an NES Zapper somehow integrated into it all.
