List Your Handhelds

Post by **andymol21** » Sun Jun 15, 2008 2:58 pm

In the past week or so I have had a bit of a spree in buying retro handhelds. First a Bandai Wonderswan, then a Neo Geo Pocket Colour. What portables do you guys have, and are there any games that you would recommend for portable gaming. I'm quite intrested in the Game Gear (used to have one but sold it when the battery connectors died) and also the Atari Lynx, but both of them are so battery hungry! Any opinions?

Gameboy Color (had since launch)
Gameboy Advance (had since launch)
Neo Geo Pocket Color (bought recently, Card fighters clash is awesome, so is metal slug and biomotor unitron)
DS (bought at launch)
DS Lite (bought at launch)
PSP (bought at launch)

I'm currently looking at getting a swan crystal and a Turbo GT, no other handheld really interests me to be honest.

Gameboy Advance SP (rev. 1), and that's it. I've had mine since pretty much the day it was released. It's taken some real abuse :)

I was never a big handheld fan, so I only had a Gameboy Colour when I was a kid and still have a N-Gage.

the plastic over the screen on my original GB (which I bought in the early 90's) fell off, so its dead
I also have a Game Gear I bought last year, but don't use much.
I have a silver original-model GBA that I used for the longest time. (Advance Wars while working alone on swing shift FTW)
I have a GP2X for a lot of emulation stuff
and I have a white DS Lite that is my go-to portable now.

I got a Gameboy Pocket
Gameboy Color
Game Gear (for the saving of batteries I have an AC adapter I bought when I bought the Game Gear when it was still around since I don't really bring it anywhere and I don't go on long trips much anymore)

I'm also very intrested in getting a Turbo GT, but the price is well above me at the moment. I've limited my spendings to £10 and under in one go, which means most retro games unboxed are in my reach, but uncommon systems are a no go. Can't wait to get back to the UK and go into some Cash Converters or charity shops. They don't have that sort of thing here in France.
