yea you had to screw it in but the battery compartments weren't blocked. mine got kind of loose after awhile and the magnifier would tilt inward when we went over a bump in the car. I also had power cords for the car and the wall.

Super Gameboy was fun. Why play a two color game on a tiny screen when you can play with a few more colors on your tv? The gently caress did they stop at that?

I had one of those snap-on screen setups for my 'cube. It wasn't "portable" per se but if I was gonna have a stable place to set it and play Viewtiful Joe for an hour plus an available power outlet (the screen took up a separate outlet, wow) I could take it along with me.

also back on my original Gameboy and my Color I had a light attachment to play in the dark like some kind of imp

the activator fired a number of infrared beams up, which would reflect back from the ceiling into its own sensors. theoretically, you'd move your appendages in various directions so that they'd block specific beams. if a beam got interrupted, the activator would translate that into a gamepad signal (i.e. one of the d-pad's cardinal directions or the a, b, or c button).

in reality, however, this was apparently not very reliable and besides that trying to play games this way was slow and tiring and made you look tremendously stupid
