@KingMike I had a Nomad back in the day, wish I hadn't sold it now... never had an issue with cartridges wiggling, but we did have trouble powering the thing. Batteries weren't even worth attempting. We used an ill-fitting power cable that would reset your game if you moved too much... finally resorted to a rubber band to hold it in place. That was how I played Sonic 2 and Vectorman...
Like others, I wanted it to be powered by the crank. That would probably be really tiring, though. I have a crank powered flashlight and it takes a ton of muscle to keep the stupid thing lit. I can't imagine trying to keep a video game going, even black and white. We'd have thumbs of steel.

Re: Interview: Shadowgate's Co-Creator On Returning To The NES Classic 30 Years Later
Great interview, really looking forward to digging into Beyond.
And Shadowgate 2 is coming soon...?!
Shame he doesn't seem interested in Shadowgate 64... still holding out hope for a re-release someday.
