Oh yeah there where a ton. They were all neat but pretty much unplayable after a time. I had a Ninja Turtles one I remember. Forget the name of the company but it started with a T, Teco something.

Might it have been the big chunky green Turtles LCD handheld from Konami that it seemed everyone (but me) had back then?

Yeah that probably it. Don't remember much on the game play just know I had it. Because I had every Ninja Turtle toys, clothes you nane it.

If my mom crack head boyfriend hadn't sold them it be worth thousands upon thousands now. (Mother claim she lost it all in storage)

I know bullshit because we had oak furniture that worth more then the car she drove. It was the furniture she got when she divorced my dad and we had for years.

I'm still pretty salty about it.
