I lusted after these when I was a kid, and eventually blew all my saved up Christmas/Birthday money on one.

The battery thing really sucked, but still had a lot of fun with it. Must of played that first level of Sonic 2 a thousand times.

My white whale was the TV tuner, I thought the idea was so cool as a kid.

I had a friend who brought their Game Gear with the TV tuner to the playground in elementary school, and it was a moment of absolute future shock. It didn’t matter that we could barely tell what was happening on the screen, because I couldn’t believe that it was even possible!

I saw a kid hook up the TV tuner in the back of the bus and was insanely jealous.
