Kind of curious how many people can be seen at work / out of the house with a retro console!
I always have my gameboy or NeoGeo Pocket on me just incase i need a quick game. Always bring one on the train, sometimes leads to random conversations. Even had my snes at work for a sly game in a meeting room.

My Lynx and my GBA have traveled with me on planes but never any of the retro consoles.

No consoles. Just handhelds like the GameBoy Color, Nintendo DS and Sony PSP.

These days the only mobile gaming I engage in is on my iPhone when on the bus, train, etc.
Several years ago I packed my DS Lite in my suitcase when holidaying abroad but never really used it outside of the hotel room.
To be seen playing a GameBoy, Lynx, GameGear, PSP, DS, etc., when out in public? Not for me, thanks. That'd look way too nerdy, lol! Gaming in public on a smartphone seems to be more socially acceptable. Gaming in public on a DS, for example, when one is an adult male well past his teens looks rather tragic, imo!
