Ok I'm not sure if anyone else has same phobia or not probably not or at least they probably wont mention it as its easily avoidable now.

Anyone remember the old little hand held games that used batteries? It was before game boys came out I think. Well when you put new batteries in them the screen would show a strange blotted pattern or something til you pressed a button. Well for some reason that strange blotted pattern freaked me out. I was fine playing the games and putting ba\tteries in but had to have the screen facing away from me to put batteries in and once I looked at the screen before pressing a button and the pattern was still on I jumped and dropped the game.

There have been the odd other things like this that freak me out I have a cyber pet of a cat you know the key ring ones you had to feed and look after. When it was a new cat it was fine looked like a cat but as it grew older it became more and more dis figured and ugly so I wouldn't let it get past 2nd change in appearance.

Obviously these things were years back and I'm probably never going to own any of the hand held games like this again as I don't think you can even get them now. I just wondered if anyone else had heard of anything similar.

Welcome to the forum marie86!

I haven't heard of this before.

Hopefully someone with a similar issue will drop in and post.
