unbelievable. i apparently didn't see this reply, stopped logging into tvtropes, logged in a year and a half later for a completely unrelated reason to find this reply sent one day after i asked the question... and i think that's it. thank you for helping me get a piece of my childhood back :)
I can barely remember from when I was a kid (like 2005-2010).
"Handheld game" doesn't mean like a DS title. It means a relatively inexpensive toy with a small selection of themed electronic minigames. I remember it being cylinder shaped and mostly blue.
The visuals were monochrome black. sprites were maybe 4 or 8 bit? we're talking like $20-$30 level of quality/content for the time, not $3 quality.
I remember one of the mini-games or events being Bonanza (or Bananza?), and another had "Hazard" in the name.
It's possible I'm misremembering things, which sucks to say given how scant my memory is anyway.
