Anyone have any memories with getting those magnifiers/lights back in the day? It really did improve the gameboy experience quite a bit, as dated as it looks.

Was there ever such a thing for the Game Gear too? Everyone knows the TV tuner of course.

I remember feeling like the joystick was a big help for Link's Awakening, and or course playing in the dark while your parents were sleeping was a huge novelty back then, but in retrospect it was kind of a trashy peripheral. I soon moved on to just using the Worm Light exclusively.

How much did that behemoth weigh? Never used it back in the day.

yeah, the official one was the super/wide gear. and the super was fully shrouded, there were a few third party lens only ones. there was also the battery pack, and the power back.

About 1.5 pounds. So you can't play it considering you can't lift.

The shroud actually makes sense, ugly as it may be. Since the Game Gear was already backlit, the shroud would have kept the sun from interfering with visibility.

The real irony of attachment peripherals for portable systems is that they take away the portability that makes the systems attractive in the first place.

Why.
>>3251086
I remember they were going to transfer pack that into Perfect Dark so you could shoot yourself/friends in the face but they pussed out for some reason.
>>
>>3252149
What does that thing even do, add a battery pack?
>>
>>3251086
I'd say the printer was much stranger than the camera.

Yes, along with adding speakers, a magnifying glass and a frontlight. May as well post this video, since most of the people ITT are referencing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDF4T5X6tZM
