heh....you *do* realize that emoticon is giving ppl the finger, right? and gba is so hard to see. but not if you have the power of the light! and for some strange reason seems to use more and more batteries as time goes on....its gettin to be up their with my cordless optical mouse(thats only cuz the mouse is always on and the gba isn't). of course game gear was well..it was..game gear...you fuggin forgot wonderswan! wonderswan, i shall avenge you!....maybe later....anyway
Wonderswan color:
Pros:
it *does* have good graphics....

cons:
of course they came at the price of framerate
did i mention the unbearable slow framerate?
no one has heard of it
wonder who?

Game Gear, eh? Sounds like a fun smashing toy. That thing ate 6 AA batteries in 2 hours. It was great, if you were trying to waste money.

No, I didn't know what the smilie was doing... oops.

I've been meaning to add the forgotten ones to the poll, but haven't had a chance to use the net till now.

Wonderswan Colour:
See Beyonder's post.

NeoGeo Pocket Colour:
<PROS>
- Um...
<CONS>
- Hardly anyone's heard of it...

Game Boy Colour:
<PROS>
- It's better than GBO or GBP
- Has an IR thingy.
<CONS>
- It's worse than GBA

Game Boy Advance, continued:
<CONS>
- They got rid of the IR thingy...

Also, isn't there a newish one called the Game.Com or something? I'll check IGN later. I know there's another one...
