Oh god, I remember those things, I used to own two of them.
It usually had multiple "games".

I got lucky though, since I got a GameBoy later (even though I only had Pokemon Yellow, Kirby and Tetris).

But I still enjoyed those things, good memories.

>mfw got one of these and took it to Mexico where all the village kids thought i was rich
>made them pay me 5 pesos to play it
>>
>>332487518
That thing was my childhood and teenage years
I barely had a SNES with SFII, Un Squadron Tiny Toons bust loose and Megaman X.
After that I didn't have any games, I survived playing arcades and borrowing consoles and games, plus renting them.
Only until 2008 I finally got money for a gaming computer. Been playing old games since then.
>>
>>332487885
Why would you ever need two of them? They always had the exact same 80+ games, half of which were just varying speeds/difficulty levels of each other.
>>
>>332487963
Isn't 5 pesos like 30 cents?

Not him, but I found differentvariations in brick games.
One I remember that was hard to find again was a boss ship mode, you had to destroy the boss ship made of bricks before it advanced down to the end of the stage, then the speed increased.
Levels 10-12 where nearly impossible.
I also found a glitch where i would travel to a limbo after letting specific parts of the boss alive without dying and the game would get stuck.
Also there was an asteroids mini game where you had to destroy all bricks before they touched your ship or the bottom too, higher speeds where nightmare.

>>332488027
One for me, and one for my sister.
They also had different games (well, variants) too.

My parents could have afforded a gameboy, but didnt, I was so fucking pissed

>mom can I get a a 20 used Gameboy at the flea market?
>No son, it's a waste of money
>Here have a 200 electric race track that you will use once and never again, Marey Christmas

>>332488264
That speed 13 where you could cheat by pressing turbo since the turbo was slower than the actual speed 13
Speed 11 was the exact same as the turbo button

I got the one with a racing game, boy I wish I'd known the name of it

>>332488636
Are you jealous of my superior Brick Game game library? I don't blame you, 9999 games at launch is a bit too much for Nintendo to compete with, even today.
>>
They definitively ran out of nintendium even for these brick games
Now you buy one and drop it, and say goodbye to it.
Before these things stood at least 50 drops, surely not as good as gameboy, but at least they worked for a while.
Now you press the button a bit hard and it is stuck forever, making the thing basically useless..

I had a teenage mutant hero turtles one of these

>that one poor kid that could only afford that "99 games in one!" brick thing
we all made fun of him behind his back. One time he brought it in for show and tell and tried to stealth-play but he forgot to turn the volume down and it went off at the highest volume. So that was pretty funny

I'm so fucking glad LCD games are dead. Those goddamn things were the bane of my childhood existence.
>>
>>332487518
I remember having one of these. One day I was playing it and I decided to turn it off, put it on my bed and sit on it for literally no fucking reason, breaking it in half. I still have no idea why I did that.
>>
>>332489118
Let me guess, you played without sound all the time, right.

>>332487678

It's just the picture, I saw one of those at a Goodwill and it wasn't nearly that bad.

And five days straight 8 hrs. per day, no handheld has been remotely close to that battery time.

I got one for shits and giggles. It was red and had the mouse.

>>332489529
You probably used only alkalines.
I used those cheap as fuck carbon ones, they lasted very little, but despite thatyou got a pack of 4 for less than 1/4 of the price of an alkaline.
The only issue was carrying them everywhere when they ran out.
Otherwise they were truly masterrace.
Now those don't work for shit though, you should rather invest in rechargeables and a charger.

OP you are quite honestly the biggest faggot in the world. Your parents gave you the best the could afford and years later you bitch about them. They should have thrown your ass in the dumpster.
>mfw we were too poor to even afford that

Not OP, but I slept in the street three times.
Get on muh level

>Not using alkalines.

I assumed everyone did...

Also, after 2007 every person with a brain switched to rechargeable batteries. Sony batteries are amazing.
>>
>>332487518
I played so much NES during my 80s childhood that i was banned to own any consoles during the 90s.
>>
>>332490165

You should not have children if you cannot afford to buy them video games.
>>
>>332490540
Not everybody.
You can make or buy an alkaline recharger, it is awesome.
But you have to recharge batteries a bit before they totally run down, so timing is hard.
Still, they work as brand new alkalines, but I dunno how many times you can recharge them.
Also you gotta get a good charger that disables itself when they get hot otherwise they blow up.
