New Coleco handheld with Sega games on it, other games

[New Coleco handheld with Sega games on it, other games]

There's like 10 of them at my Wal-Mart and they are still only $19.95 Canadian.

 

I love this thing, I think I'll buy two. Wish we could change the game selection though, but at least it's making me play games I otherwise wouldn't look at.

Hey guys, Sweaterfish introduced me to this forum. I just picked up one of these for $20 Canadian (about $15 US) at Wal-Mart up here. Fantastic little package. I love it. (I wouldn't love it so much for the $50 US or whatever some of you might have to pay for it at Target).

 

Anyway, the Canadian version is branded PlayPal:

 

 

 

The Coloco one looks cooler but this one is about 1/4 the price

 

Anyway, I really love this thing as it's SMS in a chip in an amazing little package. It's like a new gamegear except you can't load any new games onto it which is the only disappointment. The TV out is fantastic and the LCD screen is good too but it has major problems with scaling sometimes with sprites becoming grainy in some games so you can't for instance, see the shots you are firing. Don't like that Sonic Drift 2 is Game Gear scaled so it is even smaller than the fullscreen already.

 

Nonetheless, this would be amazing if somebody could mod a cartridge port (GG port?) or some way to load games onto it, maybe even flash the rom again or replace it with a flashable rom??? I have some GameGear multicarts, I can't possibly swap chips can I?

 

Anyway, the game selection is a little bland, maybe that's because I never played these particular games when I was a kid. I wish it had Out-Run, Hang-On, Space Harrier, Machine Gun Joe, G-Loc, Spy vs. Spy, Astro Flash, Woody Pop, Ghostbusters, etc. What an amazing system it would be if we could get these games onto it somehow. Any ideas?
