These are kind of cool:

I've seen little keychain versions of them before, but they never actually worked...

Yeah, I was excited at first when I saw these in an article. But then was bummed out when I found out they are not playable, but only have an animated loop playing on the lcd.

Still neat, just not "OMG how cool!"

Very nice!
I don't mind that they cannot be played.

Ahh, bummer, I didn't actually read all of the article. I thought they were playable. Cool

Still... I bet, with a little hacking, you could probably cram the important circuitry from a real G&W into the little case and make it work... The LCD is the hard thing to get. If they made the LCD just like the real ones, wiring up the chip wouldn't be impossible... I might just have to try that...
