when i was like 7 or so my dad brought my brothers and i out to a town near the coast, to visit some friends of his and get us out of the city. this was where i had my only major injury (a sprained ankle from jumping out of a tree house), but more importantly it was where i saw a Sega Game Gear for the first time, courtesy of my dad's friend's son. i don't even remember what i played on it - some Sonic game - but it was the only time i ever held a Game Gear, and my recollection was that it wasn't that big, really, it was only a little bigger than a Game Boy. i never held another one again, and i never even saw one until i moved to the east coast - i was visiting a pawn shop i frequent, and they had one on display beneath the counter. i took one look at it and couldn't stop laughing - it was just so ridiculously huge, like they'd designed it for people the size of Shaq or something.

i take one look at that 3DS attachment and i get the exact same feeling.
