You can almost hear the batteries draining in mere minutes.

If you think that’s bad, imagine an equivalently-accessorized Game Gear.

I loved that TV tuner cartridge.

Had a pair of NiCad battery packs in the end - folks got sick of buying the ‘good’ alkaline batteries for it. Always had one on boil while the other was draining.

“one on boil” is such a good expression for charging batteries. Stealing that.
