Can't say I have one but I've had hundreds of htings like it. Fun for about 34 seconds and then they get a bit dull! Can't see it ever becoming collectible! :P

It's a cheap gaming system. It's black and white (as in no color).It has 11games in it. It's okay if you like older games like that.

those things are complete garbage. i picked up one that supposdly offered "a thousand different games" and all they were, were a thousand different crap varations of tetris.

The one I have:

It has an optional backlight with a seperate on/off switch then for the games which is pretty cool for something cheap like that. I recall paying around $0.50 for it at a thrift store. It's actually dark grey in color (think N64) but for some silly reason the camera processed it as blue.

Ugh, such junk. It has '200 games', but it fails to mention they are all varations of Tetris.

My 7-year-old son has one that's shaped like a cel phone. Same screen and everything though. Even my kid thinks it's sort of -_-

my kids had that exact one you showed. I think 34 seconds of playtime might be stretching it. Playing sssnake on your cell phone is more fun.

I've got several variants of those kind of games. Most are just Tetris but a few have some variants on Breakout that play pretty well. Yeah they are cheap and worthless but I'm a sucker for LCD games. I dig em'.

I agree, crap. But whats funny is think about if this were around back in the LCD days. It would have been the biggest thing ever. I guess even in LCD games, technology marches forward.

I would just like to add that these thing have quite possibly the most grating, annoying sound ever. Remember the days of PC speaker music? Like that, except worse.
