The Damned Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Since it is now April 21st in Japan (see, proof the Earth isn't flat. fight me!), that means the GameBoy is now 30 years old. It's been a long, fun ride for those of us that kept our GameBoys and games. Speaking of... https://imgur.com/F9L0DwV https://imgur.com/uBfspSV https://imgur.com/TUmtKAT Here's hoping Nintendo gets around to releasing a GameBoy Classic console, in the vein of the NES and SNES Classics.

Nase Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 a gameboy with all games ever released on GB would be such an epic item. it's going to be done once the copyrights don't interest anyone anymore...sometime in 20XX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's called an "Everdrive and a 4GB miniSD card". C'mon, Nase, no company on Earth would release such a thing officially. It'd be impossible.

The Damned Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 I've been looking into one of those, but holy fuck, the good carts are really expensive, and the cheaper carts are not recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 ??? They aren't that expensive. Not chump change, but not like hundreds of dollars either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nase Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 i paid around the same for a device to write on and load from cartridge 10 years ago, just to have backups in case my little sound dj cart failed...it connected via this huge pin connector the old printers used. and it was sloooow. $130 is not thaat much for such a niche product.

The Damned Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 $130 US is like, $170 CAN these days. That's a bit above my budget for games. But any way. GameBoy. 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nase Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 ok. i had a gameboy when i was 5 or 6, with just 2 games, tmnt 2 and dr. mario. i played and won the hardest level in dr. mario really early. i never beat the final boss in turtles. a friend of mine had megaman, which struck me as a particularily hard core game. don't think i finished a single stage, but then again i never had it for myself. i remember liking the music. when i was 11, i got a pocket game boy i pretty much exclusively played link's awakening on, often in school during breaks. thinking about it, i always got every console and very little games. my dad always liked gadgets, so he ended up buying them with me in mind, but he wasn't interested in getting me a lot of games. i had enough to play so i didn't complain. 2 game boys, 1 game gear, a mega drive, an old 386 with commander keen 1-6 among others, and finally my cherished snes.
