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.

Equipment layout

H&K MP5 Machine Gun - Use against the enemy soldiers.
Missiles - Use against the Tanks.
M67 Grenades - Use against the grenadiers.
Plastic Explosives - Open doors and passages you can't otherwise access.
Truth Gas - Couldn't get this to work. But I think you some how use it on the "Bad Guys" clad in black that you find behind the doors.
Rations - Heals Life.
Pass Cards - Opens locked doors.

Its a Rarer Tiger Electronics game to find. Only one on ebay at the time of this post and its listed at a Buy it Now for $250, ouch. Last one I saw sell on ebay was around 75$.

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.

Why mess with a good thing?

I'm confused as to why they choose to layout the controls they way they did, perhaps to avoid patent issues that hadn't expired. The start button is on the left and the select on the right; the B A layout is reversed so all that hardwired button mashing skill is not so helpful. The angles are also not as handy for movements that require close timing. The control layout ends up being the  FC Mobiles biggest weakness. Some people have gone so far as to rewire the A, B buttons so they're in a more standard layout.

Pros
-Built in stereo speakers with decent volume
-2.4" screen
-TV out option with video & audio plugs.
Cons
-No AC option so you better like burning through AA's.
-The controller set up is off and will feel awkward compared to a classic nes controller.

FC Mobile Features - Plays US NES 8-bit Nintendo games. - 2.4" LCD screen Headphone jack to connect speakers or headphones. - Volume control slider - Available in Red/White and Silver/Black color. - Includes AV Cable for TV output. - Requires 3-4 AA batteries (not included)
