Well, apparent scarcity made me go back and buy one of each. Still 4 of each on the shelf. I should have mentioned that they were in the electronics department with the pc games, not in toys. |

On Tapatalk, so keeping it short. After playing them: No headphone jacks on either the arcade or game gear style. Controls feel better than expected. All the games I tried so far on the arcade one suck pretty bad. Most are a single play field. Some are stupid simple, like a dinosaur catching falling balls. The games on the game gear style one are a bit better. They kinda look like generic NES games. The control is only 4-way. Conclusion: The games aren't worth anything. The cases are worth it for hacking or decoration. I saw a teardown of the arcade one. The screen is mounted on the main PCB, so I think it would be a PITA to reuse. The housing and controls are very nice though and on a separate board. |

I don't know if this helps you any but: ! No longer available If you skip to 8:44 he shows a good view of the monitor pcb and it has some through holes at the top clearly labeled "video" "audio" "gnd" and "lcdoff" My guess is pumping a signal through these would override the built in games. *edit* Or they could be video out. The only way to know is to try it. |

I was kind of hoping that they'd be marked down to the $7 range. If they go down that low I'll just buy them all and pass them on to BYOAC peeps. $15+shipping+the hassle of shipping them isn't worth it yet. Not even for outback gift cards. |
