Not mine, but I always enjoy seeing these monstrosities.
You can almost hear the batteries draining in mere minutes.
If you think that's bad, imagine an equivalently-accessorized Game Gear.
Imagine a stock game gear
Ah game gear TV. Battery life meant nothing to you.
I loved that TV tuner cartridge.
Had a pair of NiCad battery packs in the end - folks got sick of buying the 'good' alkaline batteries for it. Always had one on boil while the other was draining.
You have a GameShark plugged into a game genie? The hells the point of that.
You've never sharked a genie? What a prude!

Filthy casual.
That Gameboy watch really sells it.
Noticing it only after parsing the rest of the setup made me giggle a little bit.
Noticing it after reading their comment gave me a hearty chuckle
Cool watch.
This is what many Steam Deck users seem to pursue.
Can confirm. So far I've gotten an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, docking station and a stand for it so it can be used as a laptop as well while traveling.
It certainly has issues but it's an impressive device.
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).
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:
I miss the worm lights. My cousin had one, and even though I had the Advance SP, I thought the worm LED was super neat.
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.
About tree fiddy.

“THIS ISN’T EVEN MY FINAL FORM!”
I actually got that kit from a friend as a kid, I used it all the time when playing at home, the fake analog was legit, and I think there's a light on the magnifier too.
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?
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.
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.
"So I have this ultra portable gaming device..."
Rockin' the little watch too, that's legit.
I always enjoy seeing these monstrosities.
Remember when we all dressed like that 10 years ago?
