Anyway, before I post a new one, here are the results of the last:
Unsurprisingly, Nintendo's portables were the most popular among the 10 people who participated in this poll, with the DS/DSlite and the GameBoy Advance garnering 10 votes each and the original GameBoy garnering eight. Also unsurprising (unfortunately): Absolutely no one admitted to owning an NEC TurboExpress/PC Engine GT or a Sega Nomad.
The next poll will be posted shortly. Thanks in advance for participating!
I don't do much "gaming on the go," so I've never been all that into portable consoles. I think the only one I've ever owned is a Gameboy, but I did like the Game Gear quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteThe golden age of handheld gaming for me was the Game & Watch era. I loved LCD games when I was a little kid.
I prefer consoles to portables, too, really -- especially in my old age :) That said, I think the DS has brought some very interesting gameplay ideas to the table this generation.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love that you're a G&W fan! Sadly, I don't remember owning any of them as a kid.
My dad had this really odd portable game called...er...now the name escapes me...something Tom...
ReplyDeleteAnywho, you had to reattach water pipes while rats disconnected them, and you had to watch out for the rats and basically provide enough water for a woman taking a bath. It was LOADS of fun!
Ha ha! That sounds crazy -- and fun :) Was it a Game & Watch title, or something else entirely?
ReplyDeleteHey Viewtiful, maybe it was this Frisky Tom game:

Incidentally, I highly recommend that Handheld Game Museum site to anyone who is (or used to be) into handheld games. It's a fantastic resource.
That's a really great site, IvaNEC. Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteOMG That's totally what it was!!!
ReplyDeleteFrisy Tom! My dad had it because he was head of public works (which included sewer) in our small town and his name was Tom...
Ha! That's great :) Thanks again IvaNEC!
