    Yeah, it was a cool concept, but the execution was terrible. For all its faults, the one I can’t overlook is the fact that it required 6xAA batteries (that it would chew through in 2-3 hours). LIke, WTF? Its design literally required you to use it on a table/stationary location. They sold an AC adapter for it, but it was a separate purchase.

      If you had a super nintendo it was the same cord. Just like the game gear used the genesis cord.

      But they never designed AC cords with the regular game boy. Which still makes me mad. NES or SNES power cord, and I’d have been happy as a kid…

      Yeah I remember a friend got one for Christmas and we all went over to play with it at a sleepover and it just sucked down all the batteries in the house.
