I've been a bit busy of late so haven't uploaded much new content in a while but a couple of things just dropped through the door, here on Obsolete Island.
The first was the latest version of the Neo Geo Pocket Flashmasta (now with a USB cable). I've posted a full review of it over at The Off Licence and you can read it buy clicking on this link.
Secondly I managed to acquire a second Gamate handheld for the bargain price of just 30 Euros. For some reason it was listed as "not working" on Ebay but what this actually meant was that it simply missing one of it's battery covers! I'm happy to report that it works perfectly, although I can't tell if it has the "good" or "bad" screen from the picture you get without a cart. Perhaps someone can enlighten me by looking at the picture below. (The "new" Gamate) is the one on the bottom.

Sadly, all my research leads me to conclude that the planned link-up cable was never officially released and so I most likely won't be able to experience the joy of linking two Gamates together any time soon.
The system also came with a new game that I'll be reviewing shortly over at the Gamate section of the site. It is 'Brick Blaster' an Arkanoid style bat and baller with weird characters popping up like this giant urinating wolf!
