- Seems like I can't escape this idiotic thread on this group.
-
- I didn't, whoever just said this, "invest" inthe goddamned game.
- I bought it because it has cool games and it would take me (current
- estimate) about three years to play through the whole library thanks to
- my decidedly un-power playerish attitude toward a toy.
-
- These aren't PC's in any common sense. I will not lose money or
- fail to keep up with a rapidly evolving business field if I own a Lynx
- instead of a GameGear, or a Gameboy instead of either. They're all
- pretty damn fun, considering my last "handheld" was a Merlin. (Remember
- those? If the tic-tac-toe program hadn't been so stupid, I may still
- have been playing with it.)
-
- Ugh. Another thread I have to trash now, thanks to this whole
- "Sure it's neat, but will it meet your needs into the third quarter of
- 1995 as current market projections on the Game Gear indicate" idiocy.
