Also, I have a video of it running on my FPGA:

Oh, nice work!

Now how long until we get Game King III emulation? :D

Send me one and I'll do it. I looked for one for awhile on ebay but one never showed up. I suspect if it did the cost would've been $300+. I had this problem with the Gamate and someone graciously donated two to me with some games, so I was going to do some videos on that as well (and reverse engineer it and add it to my FPGA too).

Makes me wonder about Brick Game too (though I don't have one at hand), although that one is a lot more annoying in that games didn't come in separate cartridges so there are a ton of models that just happen to have different games and with tons of minor variations over time. The hardware seems pretty neat though as far as working properly goes, and they even implemented a suspend feature before any of the major handhelds did (power off while paused, the game will be restored on power on)

I always wondered how those things worked! Last time I checked they were selling for only US$3 or so!

Eh, just started a separate thread for that. I doubt it'll get very far though...
