I sold him one of those. I guess it didn't help.
I thought the device was terrible and the games were super slow with it and then I sold it and the guy who bought it from me was like "did you know some of the spring-things (my word) had broke off?" So he soldered them back on and it works like a champ.

So maybe I was too harsh on Great Ice Hockey after all ;)

Atari Lynx
Sega Master System
3DO

Those are the only consoles I've ever purchased and then gotten rid of. I recognize the SMS on this list is a little blasphemous, and I played it a decent amount (certainly more so than the other two).
Wha???? You mean you don't regularly play the "Great" sports games on the Sega Master System?
I can confidently say I gave that entire sports library a good run-through. Reggie Jackson Baseball, Walter Payton Football, Joe Montana Football, Slap Shot are all non "great" series games that they put some effort behind.

I wonder how well that works with the Master System port of Marble Madness?

I finally played a SMS @ the height of the Genesis era. I was impressed. I just always assumed the NES was superior back then. Had I saw Phantasy Star I would've been blown away.

For me, the SMS falls into the "my initial assumptions were wrong" category.

Good question on track ball for marble madness...
