Nintendo Mini Classics
These may look like some kind of off-brand smashed up game boy but these titles are pulled from the classic game & watch series popular in the 1980's. Each game has a keychain and small plastic stands come out the back so you can prop these minis up on a desk.
There are currently three classic titles to choose from at this UK based gadget site:
Super Mario Bros: Insane leaping between side-scrolling platforms or a nailbiting race to rescue a princess? Probably both.
Donkey Kong Jr: An arcade classic in which you help the son of an ape unlock padlocks by jumping between vines.
Mario’s Cement Factory: This classic platformer sees the iconic mario attempting to prevent containers of cement overflowing. Perhaps he wasn't making enough plumbing and needed to pick up some factory work.
If you look on sites like ebay you'll see other titles including soccer, racing and other games in the series. Prices range from 2.50 to 25 dollars for these classic remakes.

Snake’s Revenge - Tiger Electronics Handheld
This 1990 LCD hand held Game made by Tiger Electronics somewhat mirrors the Snakes Revenge NES title released the same year. Part of the Tiger Electronics "Game Talk" series in which bits of very simple dialog are inserted into the gaming experience. Commando Nick Myer will call you on your transceiver with hot game hints like; " Tank ahead use a missile!" Or John Turner will call you randomly and ask " Are you Ok? "
The artwork around the LCD screen was pulled from the images found on the NES games Box and Label. The game features 8 stages that will find you fighting enemy soldiers, grenadiers, tanks, Metal Gear 1's and a Metal Gear 2. Stealth game play is replaced with a more run and gun style.

FC Mobile NES Handheld
If you're like me you have some nes games laying around, so the idea of being able to load them into a handheld is definitely appealing. The FC Mobile comes in a few different color combinations. A classic themed Red/White combo and a Silver/Black option. Its an import so the best place to find it is on ebay and a new FC Mobile will set you back $40 -$60 bucks. More after the jump.
