Maybe nicads are OK for the GameBoy but be warned.  NiCads have extremely
low internal resistance, so they are capable of supplying very high
inrush currents.  Some circuits may suffer though I've used NiCads in most
equipment eg. photo flashes, walkman, radio recievers etc. without causing
problems even though some of these have warned not to use NiCads.

BTW Jason, its a good thing that 4*(1.5V-1.2V) is less than 1 volt.  It
could get pretty serious if it was 1.2 V.
