The year was 1990. The Gameboy was in full effect but I was much too poor to own such a hi-end piece of tech. My substitute was the hand held lcd video game available at Radio Shacks and K-Marts across the country.

For some reason I was reminded of these cheap little marvels the other day. After a little google action I came across an awesome sight for feeding my nostalgia. Check out the Handheld Museum if you were a handheld O.G. like myself.
