Sometimse I see these things for sale. It's a handheld, but I don't see it listed. Did this handheld had another name in the US? I don't know anything about it.

Sly is working on this system for our database at this very moment. Stay tuned! It's somewhat "SuperVision" ish... Better than Game.com!

At least you can see the damned screen on a game.com. Ugh!
Anyway. Mega Ducks are great if you're a Sachen boy like myself. They made all sorts of crap for it, including some NES ports.

Are you sure it wasn't released here? Some collecting buddies were finding stuff in the NJ area and I ended up with some games that way. I think it was sold in the Bay Area too. Maybe just import shops?

Heh...someone said "duck" ? Ok...Quack! quack!! :P
Nah! Just kidding :) Like Joe wrote, i'll be doing the section of the Mega Duck (among others), but in the meantime, if anyone wants some information about this 90% Game Boy clone(the coding is not quite the same but the rest is), check out the FAQ section of DP.
Oh and Russ, the MD/CG was never sold here in North America. The only way that you can find these in the open wood around here was that either someone bring the stuff here or like you mentioned, imports shops that have sold these.
For rarety for the consoles, the Mega Duck is easy to find in France/Holland and Germany, the Cougar Boy was only sold in Brazil (and surroundings) and the Mega Duck Lernkomputer, now this is hard to come by. There's one right now on Ebay Germany for 35 euros ?
Ok, think i'll start doing the MD/CG database before Joe kicks my ass... :P

I bought a megaduck and games while stationed on a US Navy ship about 1994. Other sailors on my ship did also. There were 5 consoles and sets of games available. It is also possible that other ships got these through the US Navy system the ship I was on did.
