/vr/ - Retro Games

I picked up the gauntlet one, it doesn't look that bad. The game com was a pretty neat idea, especially with the touch screen and internet connection. If they had a back lit screen, color and a bigger game selection it might have done well. But in many ways it was ahead of it's time

Yes they are considered games and retro (though they still made the things up to like 2000 if I recall correctly).

I had a dozen of these as a kid growing up in the late 80's and early to mid 90's. They were great to take to school and to places like the local swimming pool; places I didn't want to take my gameboy. If they were stolen, broken, or lost, it wasn't a big deal since they were $15-20 each but if that happened to my gameboy I would have been fucked.

Gauntlet was pretty good as was Pit Fighter (I had more fun with the damn hand held than playing the atrocious SNES port at a friend's house). I never remember owning one that I really hated. I had a bunch of the watch ones too.
