Question about video game device

[bluestateguy]

I was at the mall today buying a Father's Day present and I saw this product on display that I found fascinating. It was a device that carried a series of classic video games, including Super Mario Brothers and Donkey Kong. The games were all embedded in the device, meaning that there were no discs or cartridges. I fiddled around with it and played a little Super Mario Bros. before moving along, but I neglected to get the name of this product. It was offered for only $45. Does anyone know what I am talking about? What was the name of this product?

Like you would find on a modern day Play Station.

8. I'm not sure

It had many classic video games, mostly from Nintendo it seemed. It was just a box, with a traditional controller set.

2. I tried one, too.

Pretty cool. Those games are all so small that they can now be hardwired into a controller. If you're yearning for the days of Frogger, Donkey Kong, Dig Dug, and Missile Command, it would probably be $45 well spent.

i never touched one, but i think this is what you are talking about. there are different manufacturers i believe. i have seen some that are a abit bulkier. the games probably differ as well.
