Title: A blessing or a curse?
Post by: Belmont legacy on November 10, 2013, 01:31:03 AM
Whilst browsing ebay one day (picked up a copy of castlevania 4 to celebrate childhood memories! ;D) I stumbled on something I had seen once before, but never really payed much attention to....until now. The castlevania 2 tiger handheld game. Seeing this immedeatley semt memories of playing with these little gadgets as a kid, simply because it was all my parents could afford for a game (or system) like that at the time. Well, after seeing how bad the reviews were abd hearing it was simply junk, i still thought about it. It might be a cheap peice of plastic with some campy and dorky cartoon of dracula and simon, butit was STILL a piece of castlevania history. So..I forked over 30 bucks, and received it in the mail today. Now I have yet to find another one in this good of shape or one at all . My question is. Is tgis little cheap plastic lcd game now rare?

Yeah I do believe the LCD games (there's one for SOTN to) are fairly uncommon these days.

I have both! I love those old games.

The beeps and goofy graphics make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I think I'll bust them out tonight and play them now that you have me thinking about them again! :)

It's very frequently sold on ebay, so it's not too rare. I don't know if I've ever seen a time that it wasn't on there. The Sotn handheld used to be the same way, but I'm seeing it less often now.

Collectors must have snagged them up and no one wants to part with it.

Finding these with the box (not necessarily mint) is pretty difficult, I think.
