Good 'ol Gameboy

[Oveneise]

I still got my purple gameboy, still remember all the time I spent on the metroid.

Metroid II: Return of Samus is one of my favorite Metriod games of all time... if not my favorite. I own it as well. Very fun, and immersive.

I have 2 grey GameBoys, a silver GameBoy Pocket, a opaque purple GameBoy Advance, a silver GameBoy Advance SP and a silver DS Phat

All regularly played tbh, although I do play most of my GB games on my Super GameBoy when I'm at home

I need to get lameboy on the go and give it that a try. How perfect is it btw?

The only problems I've ever noticed with it for any game are very brief and minor graphical glitches. Mega Man, Pokemon, Mario, Wario, Zelda, Metroid, and everything else I've tried play perfectly.

Well, the best combination is gba micro and ezflash IV, man playing zelda at this tiny console is perfect.

I used to own an original gameboy, what happened to it I have no idea (how can someone lose a gameboy? beats me) having 3 brothers might have something to do with it though.

However I still have a working gameboy color, to bad though that most of my original gameboy/color games have dead batteries. Like most when I'm in the retro mood I load up an emulator (lameboy) and play that way.

I took my old game boy and did a backlight mod because I could never make out the game play on the low contrast screen. It looks amazing now.

I have two originals, one pocket and a Game Boy Light. Lots of accesories for the original like the arcade stick and magnifier thing you stuck on top.

Lovely handheld but my favourite of Nintendo's handhelds is still the Gameboy Color which I have so many of. Its the 8-bit charm with late 90's modern gameplay ideas that make it so great for me.

Also I do reckon the DS is the worst of the handhelds even though it had some amazing games I just don't think it had as many greats as GB/GBC/GBA. VB dosen't count as a handheld, that fucker you had to strap to your head!

I dunno where mine (and that is "mine and my brother's") went. Parents probably threw it away at some point because we were getting too old for it. Unfortunately, we were too young to know better.

I think I still have kirby's pinball land around, though. Kept it for nostalgic reasons.

I have the same. Gameboy Light (which I will probably never let go of) and a purple GB Color, with matching screen light that plugs into the link port :-)

I got a mint original grey one. Only problem is that there aren't that many games around anymore (no duh!)..

I have one from the first ever UK batch of the GameBoy to be produced as at the time I ran Nintendo's flagship franchise store @ Hamleys in London, they used to fly off the shelves. Around that time I met one of the lawyers fighting Nintendo over the rights to Tetris on the Nes whose argument in court was based around the NES/Famicom being classed as a computer rather than a console (due to the modem, keyboard etc. accessories in Japan). My old GB's screen got those horrible old side lines years back, still works though ; )

 

[CyborGamer]

I wish I took better care of my old silver Game Boy Light and Celebi GBA as a kid. The colour's rubbed off on the corners, makes me sad.

Urrgh me and my butter fingers!

My famicom GBASP still looks great though.

 

[Shockwind]

I still have my Purple Gameboy Color, but I never play it anymore.

 

[Schizoanalysis]

I had one, but sold it on Ebay for $20 or so around 7 years ago...

 

[I am r4ymond]

I don't have the original Gameboy, but I still have a light-blue Gameboy Advance and a black Gameboy Advance, along with Super Mario World, Pokemon Ruby, FireRed, and Emerald.

 

[hufacuse]

I have GBC's 3 in fact. The yellow pokemon edition and silver pokemon edition and a clear one.

 

[whoomph]

My OG Game Boy has never left my side. It's a bit tatty and I need to glue the screen back on.
Best handheld ever. It has never failed me in 20 years. Look!

 

[Joktan]

I have the orginal gameboy but its now broken from my little sister getting mad and jumping on it i have a gameboy pocket which when i got it was buried in dirt and i found it cleaned it up and amazingly it still worked!!!! I have a gameboy micro and a few games which took me awhile to find last year(more rare then the other ones) and i just bought a gameboy color and pokemon yellow last night.and i love them all!!!!!

 

[AlanJohn]

I had one but my little brother of course destroyed it just like my pokemon

The earliest I have is the gameboy pocket.
