August bonus #2: NES Works Gaiden 56 - Gakken TV Boy Pt. 1
🕑 Added 2023-08-14 12:34:41 +0000 UTCA brief digression from Epoch here, as my modded TV Boy console finally arrived back from Sound Retro Co. and allowed me to embark on this: A six-game journey through one of the most utterly failed consoles ever to ship in Japan. The Gakken TV Boy is so weird! I encountered it last year at Long Island Retro Gaming Expo and immediately fell in love with the absolute stupidity of its design. So, it's only fitting that I edited together this first episode about the console while traveling home from this year's Long Island Retro Gaming Expo.
Don't worry, this won't be too much of a distraction from Epoch. The thing only had six games, after all. For now, please join me as I bask in the inanity and insanity.

I legit have no idea what I was looking at that during that...erm, footage. Just looked like a blown-out nightmare. Regardless, always fun to read about/view discussion about failed consoles. Especially those that never had a chance.
