A blessing or a curse?

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.
It's like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but instead it's Who Wants Fried Chicken? I do.

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.
