DeathAdderSF Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Howdy, y'all! I'm selling some more junk on ePay, don't check it out! Supervision handheld game system - NOT like Game Boy! (That's why it sucks.) Travellmate handheld game system, early Supervision - Not fun but actually rare! Tiger game.com games: Arcade Classics, Henry, Lights Out - guaranteed boring! I do honestly want to sell these, but... I CAN'T LIE!! So the descriptions, while they may seem like they'll kill any chances for profit, they're at least honest. (And how often do you run across an honest salesman?!) 'K bye. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Aww you should have told me you were selling one of those turds, I'd have just bought it if we agreed on price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't do that to a fellow forum goer. I'd never forgive myself for all the anguish you'd have to endure from playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the supervision fairly well can and does suck, but something about it is par for the course for me considering I've gone through a game king 2, this is kind of a step up.

Tanooki Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 @DeathAdderSF Well, despite years of your repeated warnings, like any good cartoon character with the big shiny red button that says Do NOT Push. I did, got your Supervision lot. I'll have to get my hands on that multicart, the crazy only goes so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 All of those gamecom games are good, though. Yes, that horn icon does go with the engine revving sound. Of course it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't come crying to me when it arrives in the mail and you instantly regret your purchase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you’re mostly right, I think the game show and board games are the best experience a friendless player could have at the time. Conversely, there’s no such thing as a bad game.com game*. * except for the following: - Fighters Megamix - Indy 500 - Mortal Kombat Trilogy - Sonic Jam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0078265317 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 That Travellmate looks very similar to the gameboy I had as a kid in 1989. Never seen before. Was that made back then or is that a recent knockoff version? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that made back then or is that a recent knockoff version? It was made back then, same company and the wikipedia covers it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watara_Supervision But easily put I'll cut this piece from the marketing section: To keep their costs down, Watara farmed out the international marketing and distribution to third parties leading to various versions including the QuickShot Supervision, Travell Mate, Hartung SV-100, and Electrolab in Argentina, under two different models: the Supervision (in a form factor resembling Nintendo's Game Boy) and the Hipervision. In Taiwan and Hong Kong, it was released as the 泰可BOY (Tiger Boy).[1] The QuickShot version differed from the original Watara format by having the console body split into two parts enabling the screen to be tilted in relation to the control section. Same guts, different manufacturing and molding in various regions of the world. Either way it's like a beta level DMG gameboy, keep those expectations 1989 low and you'll probably fine, expecting the next Super Mario Land 2, Gargoyles Quest, Castlevania Adventure II, Gradius/Nemesis, Mega Man1-5 level stuff and you'll have the attitude the seller has about them. I know what I was getting into dropping that bid, I love terrible handhelds, as long as the games are decently amusing, I put up with a game king 2 of all things with pokemon mini level of pixel detail with strangely looping(seconds few at best) 16bit audio stolen from all sorts of sources, so this will be an improvement. Just need now to get the multicart when it comes back into supply again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Units branded as Travellmate actually appear to be the earliest of the Supervision product line. And are fairly rare here in the States. Hence why someone actually paid $255 [!] to snap mine up. 😲 9 hours ago, Tanooki said: the wikipedia covers it Screw the wikipedia, I'm gonna plug the ridiculous Supervision website that I, for some reason, work on tirelessly. Supervision: handheld of the less fortunate So there. 😝 Edited August 13, 2022 by DeathAdderSF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
