Console MAD UK e-tailer: Reputable? And Gameboy Question

[Eternal Champion]

Hey all,

Does anyone know the UK website Console MAD?
http://www.consolemad.com/main/index.html
Is it a reputable site, in terms of buying from their site?

A second question: Are Japanese Gameboy games compatible with U.S. Gameboy Color or GBA? I assume so, but just wanted to check.

Thanks!

Devilman (a member of DP) runs that site (mentioned in page two of this thread (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28589&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=consolemad&start=25)). Other than that though, I couldn't find any other mentions of it -- weird!

yeah, gameboy/gbc/gba & ds games all have no lockout, so you can play anything on any system.

I dealt with ConsoleMAD/devilman a few times and it ALWAYS was a pleasure - great packaging and fast shipping and to top it all he is a friendly great guy :D

Blimey.. a thread about my site? :eek 2:

ConsoleMAD is still pretty small at the moment and is just a hobby for me while I work full-time doing something else but I got frustrated with the other UK retro sites so I created my own.

And thank you for the compliments AtariBuff - glad you've been happy with CM so far!

Bump: Devilman was very cool, and I got the Japanese Bionic Commando for the b/w Gameboy, complete! It's cool for me. Of course, it's in Japanese, but so what. Plus, the cover is cooler (as usual).

Question: were only Japanese Gameboy games in those small boxes? I thought the U.S. boxes were the same size as the GBA boxes.

Glad you're happy with your purchase! :)

Of the Jap Game Boy games I've seen, they've all been in the little cardboard cases, but I only own three others so I'm no expert. The Jap GBA boxes are more rectangular.
