McDonald's Sonic LCD games

McDonalds has had two seperate promotions which made Sonic LCD games available with the purchase of a happy meal. These types of games normally sold for 10-20 dollars in earlier times but during the 2003 promotion McDonalds stated that the refinement of cell-phone technology led to the refinement of the production. This probably made this kind of toy more affordable to produce and be included as a free toy. Although at this point of time theres probably few who would pay much for a toy of this type as the portables of the time had achieved SNES-level graphic and sound capabilities.

The first promotion was from June 27 through July 24 in 2003. The second promotion lasted from December 3 through the 27th. As part of the second promotion 2,500 silver colored games were hidden some of the games. 25 of the customers that recieved this would be given a prize of large value while the remaining 2,475 winners would win a Sega game, which could be either Sonic Heroes or Sonic Mega Collection Plus.
