Nintendo Gamecube Game Boy Player Our Rating:

Here is a perfect accessory for your Gamecube. Slap this on the bottom of your Gamecube to instantly allow it to play any Game Boy, Game Boy Color, or Game Boy Advance game on your TV!

Most every game works in the Game Boy Player. There are some games that are not fit for use in this, including tilt-sensitive games, Gamesharks, or other large games or games that interact in various ways other than normal. Also, Game Boy Video cartridges cannot be played in it for copyright reasons. The device also has a link port so you can link up and play with other Game Boys, or use accessories that use the link port.

There are many ways to play the games. You can use a Gamecube controller, or you can buy a Game Boy to Gamecube link adapter to use your Game Boy Advance/SP as a controller.

The software has a few extra features. It allows you to put a number of frames around the game screen, includes sharpening levels, and has a timer of up to 60 minutes.

This has worked flawlessly for us, and has allowed us to play our Game Boy games on a whole new level, nice and large on the television. Much better than that tiny screen – this is a must-have for any Game Boy enthusiast.

Toshiba SD-V291 DVD/VHS Player Our Rating:

Here is another wonderful product. This player from Toshiba is a DVD/VCR combo. It plays all your old VHS tapes from back in the day, and all of your newer DVDs, all in one unit.

The DVD player plays tons of formats: CD, VCD, CD-R/RW, mp3, WMA, and DVD-R, and can view JPEG pictures as well. It has component video output, and is Dolby Digital/DTS Compatible. The VHS player works great and includes multiple features, such as high speed fast forward/rewind, commercial skipping for recording, automatic clock set, and an automatic head cleaner.

We loved being able to use both common types of video media in this unit with the same remote. However, we found that the DVD player in our machine was touchy at times. Rarely, it would take several tries for it to play a DVD. However, this did not occur often. We found that cleaning it with a DVD drive cleaner helped it significantly. If you want to get a new DVD player, but still have a massive collection of VHS tapes, consider this player.

Sega Genesis Team Player Our Rating:

This handy accessory is for the Sega Genesis, and allows up to 4 players to play instead of the normal 2. It is great for those select games that feature a 4 player mode.

There are only a few games that support the 4 player adapter, the bulk of them being sports games. This is still a necessity for playing those games to the fullest. It plugs in easy and works great, and you can leave it plugged in even if youre using only 1 or 2 players. Pick up one of these and enjoy some good old games with 3 of your friends.

Philips DVD621 DVD Player Our Rating:

This DVD player from Philips is basically just that. It also has the capability of playing CDs, but that is it. It is simple, but it works poorly.

We picked up this DVD player and tested it’s capabilities. It only plays regular DVDs and CDs, meaning anything that is burned will not play, unfortunately. This is a major drawback.

It is also very slow to respond to functions, and it also loads slow. Using it is a hassle. At the end of it all, it does play your DVDs. However, avoid this player.
