what do you think are the top 5 most fun/playable handhelds?
Its pretty amazing to think that kids would be content with just one of these for a while compared to the choices available today...

I'm thinking (at the moment)...
1) caveman
2) tron
3) pacman2
4) galaxian 2
5) nintendo donkey kong jr mini arcade
honorable mention: crazy climber

Dunno about the best ever.

But, if I think back to ones I've owned and ones I currently own, I'd say:

*Tomy Tron
*Grandstand (Tomy) BMX Flyer
*Tomy Mr. Do
*Casio Western Bar

For me, the criteria is pressing the "Start" button over and over until a half hour or more has gone by without you even being aware of it. Very Happy

Is this Moon Patrol game you both mention above the Gakken LCD one?

Yes, its Moon Patrol Handheld by Gakken.

Yep. Even the keychain is good fun.
I wouldn't mind Pooyan one day if I can find it. Cool
