I bought one of the VG Pocket Caplet handheld units for $10 from Gamestop almost a year ago and never tried it out. I was too cheap to find 3 AAA batteries, but I just tried the VG Pocket and it is actually better than I thought. It is a 16-bit system and it even has TV out!
It's the one that has Burgertime, Bust-A-Move and Space Invaders with 47 other arcade and NES clones built in. Some of the clone games are actually pretty good. There is a Mario Kart clone that plays more like Outrun and a Columns clone. Surprisingly, there are even a vertical shmup and a horizontal shmup. I was shocked! :0
I could play the poker and billiards games for hours since they really don't end.
Anyway, the screen looks even brighter to me than the one on the Game Boy Micro since it's backlit, so this handheld will probably be my default one at the laundromat now. I think only a true retro fan could appreciate this system.

Does anyone else own one of these, and what are your impressions?
