Cool Boy

[TwinChargers]

Out of curiosity, has anybody here ever played a CoolBoy game system?

With that 120 in 1 cart it seems like it wouldn't be too bad of a deal. I was just curious if the thing was junk or DealExtreme was a poor company to do business with.

I have a OneStation

It's an excellent portable NOAC system with a great screen and a very decent battery life.

The CoolBoy looks to be a clone/variation on the same hardware, and sadly BOTH seem to have the A and B buttons BACKWARDS with the A on the left and the B on the right, which makes playing games like Super Mario Brothers nearly impossible.

OneStations are cheaper, and in their day there were TONS of multicarts out there (the cartridges are harder to come by these days). On the other hand - I only see one or two carts for the CoolBoy.

If you're using Deal Extreme, I'd reccomend just going for the OneStation if you want one of these, I can confirm that the 99 game cart that comes with has PLENTY of great un-edited NES games on it, I'm not really sure what's on the 150 cart for the CoolBoy:

I wish some brilliant HK company would make one of these with an SD card slot instead of cartridges ...

Also, DealExtreme is currently my favorite online shop. I use it practically weekly.

Free shipping from HK, and great cutomer service if you ever do have a problem.

Just make sure the item your ordering is IN STOCK when you place the order.

Just make sure the item your ordering is IN STOCK when you place the order.

That can't be emphasized enough. You can wait for a long time otherwise to get your order if ever.

As far as customer service, pricing and range of products go they are pretty awesome and the onestation (elite or standard) kicks ass. The elite version would be the better choice though as the games seem to be more readily available and the cartridge doesn't extend outside the unit like on the standard unit (so no accidental crashes due to bumping the cart)

But if you do end up with a coolboy let us know what it's like, I was considering buying one myself.
