It got in the way with the Game Gear, which had 6 hours of battery life. I couldn't take that on a round trip, and as a kid, I happened to go on a LOT of those. Every two or three weeks, 4 hour road trip to a place with no TV only to go on more long road trips all around that place, which lasted one weekend before another 4 hour road trip back home. Suffice it to say boredom transcends itself and becomes ART at that point.
