So I found a GameBoy...

Same place I found those Atari games, I went back today and one of the employees said they had an old GameBoy in the back.

What a fine piece.

Original GameBoy, working, in great condition, 4 games (Super Mario Land, Alleyway, and 2 others I forgot), and a carrying case. $53.

Think I could buy it and resell it for a decent amount? Maybe even here on the temp...

You mean the original fatty grey gameboy? I own one as well, unfortunately it isn't the most costly little thing :/ I bought mine for 5$ though, and it came with pokemon blue. Garage sales man :)

Yeah the store is never going to come close to that. They started the price at $63, and they won't go any lower than half that, more than likely.

If you're keeping it, thats cool, if you're trying to turn it around for a profit, I wouldn't bank on that.

Probably not. The old gameboy (the grey brick) had so many of them created, and plus, those things lasted through hell and back.

If you're talking about this one from the Gulf War, according to Nintendo only the screen was replaced; original Gameboy screens sucked because they kept developing dead lines of pixels, just like the replacement screen in the torched one

    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
