You kids today with your iPhone and Androids and PlayStation phones with their cell-hoozits and giga-whatnots. Back in MY day, our portable video game systems just played games, and that's the way we liked it.

Of course, we might have liked it even better if we'd had one of these Game Boy and Famicom phones that have been mocked up by enterprising internet photoshopsters. Just look at that slick design. Oooh, video game consoles had STYLE back then, let me tell you sonny.

These sure would have beat the cell phones we actually had back in those days. I still remember my first one... it cost a cool $5,000 and was the size of a small minivan. Took almost an hour to crank it up enough to get a decent signal, and forget about making a call it you were near a TV antenna. Whaddya mean you don't know what a TV antenna is? You whippersnappers!

See the full size images after the break then GET OFFA MY LAWN!
