I recently had a similar problem with an old device. I used my mobile hotspot to allow me mobile device to connect to a data network. That way at least it’s still behind my mobile device’s security.

Damn that’s harsh. I grew up in a world where there was no such thing as handhelds. There were Tiger Electronics black and white LCD “games” but nothing like an actual handheld game system.

First time I saw a Lynx my mind was blown. I saved up every penny as a little kid to get one, used.

Gamegear came later, and again it blew mind. I do remember how it ate batteries.

I just dug mine out after losing the charger like 9 years ago. Got a new one, got a new battery, new battery door cover, memory card, and used my cellular hotspot to update the firmware. The original memory card was too small for the firmware.

Hot Shots Golf Open Tee still holds up.

Atari Lynx? Sega Gamegear? The OG color portables.
