I get attracted to old gaymer ads like this, whenever there's a reddit post about them, because reddit soys invariably 
about how horrible yesteryear was

I mean, pedantic r-slurs always existed, they were just around normal people who would tell them to shove it up their butt until they learned how to shut up. Now they go to /r/sexistgamingadsIdon'tunderstand and commiserate with other pedantic r-slurs

Only place I see this same energy is corporate twitter accounts like OperaGX shitposting. Even then they steer clear of anything really divisive and rely on weird niche internet humor instead.

Those thinks absolutely murdered AA batteries. The SP was such a godsend for roadtrips as the backlight wasn't abusive on batteries.

Didn't the sp have a front light?
Upgrading from the color seemed like I was living in the future, and then I got a ds with the backlight

There were backlit SPs exclusive to North America which came out late in the SP's life cycle. Although I think most people just bought the DS at that point.

I have a backlit SP still, played Legacy of Goku 2 and Buu's fury on it somewhat recently (maybe a year ago). The only good DBZ games outside of the budokai series

Your dad didn't love you enough to build a power adapter for your portable console powered from the 12V lighter socket. I used to own a GameGear that would absolutely slurp down its 6 AAs, but my dad made a 12 to 9V adapter for it with a linear voltage regulator and a long cord, so I could game in the back with no worries.

My dad did make one, but there were three of us. The poor GM battery couldn't handle all that.

Car alternator systems can supply at least 1KW of power, more since I assume your dad owned some kind of 'Murican landbarge. The 30W at most 3 consoles used were peanuts.

The gamegear was so fricking fetch holy shit. Stomping the shit out of Shawn Michaels on WWF RAW and constantly dying on the first level in that ridiculously hard sonic game every weekend on the way back from the grandparents place was a formative experience.

Lol those things drained the frick out of the batteries. The backlight in the SP was the greatest development in handheld gaming ever

I had the transparent purple one that matched my transparent purple gameboy. Clear plastic showing off the internals of a device were so cool, why did they stop doing that?

Because it was everywhere, stopped being novel and started to look cheap/gimmicky. Neutral greys/silver/black were less distracting, Apple added high quality white to the line-up later.
