Damn that's harsh. I grew up in a world where there was no such thing as handhelds. There were Tiger Electronics black and white LCD "games" but nothing like an actual handheld game system.

First time I saw a Lynx my mind was blown. I saved up every penny as a little kid to get one, used.

Gamegear came later, and again it blew mind. I do remember how it ate batteries.
