Imagine how blissful it would be if you could turn on your sega game gear without a cartridge and it would go directly into alex kidd in miracle world.  It would warrant getting out there and stealing a sega game gear I reckon.

And by this point she's in a care home as well and doesn't ever go to the shops that still sell Sonic Blast.
