I had this one; felt like I was living in the future.

Same. I remember being in the back of the car thinking literally nothing better than this

Nothing better than H-H-H-HEADACHES

Have you tried literally nothing?

I have a knock off of that on my gameboy. Found it at a retro shop for 12$ this weekend. Fired up my castlevania in big screen glory

Sadly, that's an eBay photo I searched for the comment. I had that exact setup, but it got sold at a yard sale over 2 decades ago :(
