A little while after the Gameboy color came out, I was able to get my hands on a rechargeable battery pack, and I remember thinking that was an absolute game changer.
I don’t miss the days of everything running on batteries.
I do. I have rechargeable aa and aaa batteries. When a battery pack goes bad it’s a pita to order/buy/replace. When my rechargeable AAA battery goes bad…“oh, look. I have a dozen more and they were like a buck a piece.”
When I was about 10, my mum was addicted to tetris on the GB. I’d get home from school and literally every battery in the house would be completely dead…
I talked to her about it a few years ago, she told me that for about 5 years after she stopped playing she’d dream about tetris more often than anything else.
