So while I was out and about a few weeks ago I stumbled upon a pawn shop that had these strange looking game cartridges. they were very small and ovular (Egg shaped maybe?), very thin (only about the thickness of ~4 dimes stacked up), and had a screen that appeared to be LCD in the cartridge itself (it obviously needs some system to play them). the screen was probably only 2 - 2.5 inches and each cart had the name of the games above the screen (the ones there were very generic names and I don't remember them). on the back side there appeared to be some sort of clip that stuck straight out from the center of the cartridge (possibly to hold it into whatever actually played it) and the pins were barely exposed out of the bottom of it. It also gave the impression that it was heavily marketed towards kids (like a leap frog or some such thing) but I can not be for certain on that one. the strangest thing was that I could not find any company information on it (it was not logo'ed, there was no plastic molding for the company name that I can remember, nothing)
I tried searching online for this kind of cartridge and nothing popped up so I thought I would place it on here to see if anyone knows. I never took a picture of it but would know it if I looked at one.
thanks for any help guys!

no. this had no buttons was ovular (an oval),and the screen was rectangular. they were just cartridges though, not the system as a whole.

The LCD-based Tiger Electronics Game Wizard?
It was short-lived pre-cursor to the Game.Com that was basically an interchangable Tiger LCD gameboy. Same crappy graphics and sound as a normal Tiger LCD game, but you could switch games out.

no... it is the same premis though. being able to swap the games out that is.
the more I think about it the more tempted I am to go back to the pawn shop and hope they have them still there. I like items that are clearly gaming related but I cant figure out anything about them

was it this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/MGA-ELECTRONIC-HANDHELD-CARTRIDGE-GAMES-STAR-WARS-POWER-RANGERS-LCD-TOY-KIDS-/121944925511?hash=item1c647be547:g:sk8AAOSwGYVXAc2z
Never seen those before, but looks like an interesting blend of Gameboy and Game & Watch

I ended up caving and going to the pawnshop I found them at and buying all 10 that were there. here is a pic of what they look like and again they have no makers mark anywhere on the plastic...
WHAT ARE THEY!!!!

Omg thank you!! How did you manage to find it? I tried just about every thing/key word i could think of to try and find it.
Now the question is do i make a listing for it with all the games as a single listing or spread it out so there is one for every game?

I do have a soft spot for those kind of consoles and games.
But i would put them in one listing, because the games come with the console, and no game has ever sold seperatly (except second hand).
