Am I the only one who's never gone past the old b/w Gameboy?

[fishsandwich]

I have two handheld systems-

The NGPC, and the original Gameboy (pocket version.) I don't count the Turbo Express as it's big and eats batteries like crazy.

The NGPC is great, but the library is small. That leave the GB.

I still find great games for it, and the battery life is awesome. I know that if I buy a GBC or GBA I'll go crazy buying games for it.

Yes, I'm stuck in the early 90's.

Anyone else?

I still have the fatty B/W GB but I'm gonna get a SP soon.

I like the original Game Boy. It is nice and large so it fits my hands (!), plus the screen is NOT as bad as many say it is IMO. Add to that, I actually enjoy the yellow/greenish tint it has, and when it's held to the light it glooowwssss :P Plus it looks neato; like an NES. I got mine around 1996 or 1997, just as the 'Pocket' version was coming out. I saw the smaller one, noticed it was too small, and had to hunt down any original styles that were still in stock. Eventually found one at Hills Department Store. I STILL do not like the 'Pocket' version though I actually like the Japanese 'Game Boy Light'.

Count me in, the only gameboy system I've ever played is the original, I didn't even step up to a pocket or color

I still am, i just found my oldschool gb again with some cool games, i'm glad i found it cause i was missing it once in a while, corse colour gb would bve great but i don;t wanna invest in it no more.
I'll put a pic up soon of the stuff i found at home.

does this answer ur question about living in the 90s? :P
my GB Collection im v proud of!

[boatofcar]

I jumped from the original right to the SP, with no stops in between. I just had to have the NES SP

[Beefy Hits]

Well, I still play SOME B+W GB games, in fact, I'm trying to sell Great Greed and Monster Rancher Battle Card for color. PM me if interested.

Anyway, I like to play:
Bionic Commando (Color)
Elevator Action (Great version)
Dragon Warrior III (Color)

I use my SP.

I don't play enough gameboy to warrant buying another version of the Gameboy. I only have like 5 games for the thing and i cannot remember the last time i played it.

I have no desire to upgrade to an Advance or an SP because they both have design problems that render them unbuyable (also i dont care for thier game library)


So yup, i still gots me orginal GB.


Now i just need to get "Super Mario Land 2" again.

Original Gameboy is still the best Gameboy as far as I'm concerned. But I must admit that once I got a GBC I definitely preferred that sharper screen. Even though it was a color I mostly played my B&W games on it.

The only reason I bought a GBA was because I preferred the horizontal orientation of the machine to the vertical. 80% of my Gameboy titles are either black and white or back-compatible to black and white (e.g. - Metal Walker). There are only a few GBC titles I really enjoy like the Zelda titles and Warlocked (this is a must have). And I have very little interest in GBA titles. Nope. For me it's black and green forever!

The only game console I have ever officially owned was my old B&W Game Boy. I had the white original, but when the D-pad wore out I replaced it with a clear-shell Play It Loud B&W model.

I still have it (and it is in fact not far from me as I type) but I have not played it in a good long time, sadly.

I have the original grey model, the Pokemon Gold/Silver Color version, a Platinum SP and a Super GameBoy. Sitting on the couch tonight, I saw a commercial for the Nintendo DS, and casually looked over at my girlfriend and saw her shaking her head no.


Maybe next year (I don't mind, especially since I didn't even get a GBA until last Christmas.... From her).

I still don't even have that many games. I only have 13 GameBoy/GameBoy Color games and 3 GBA games. I'm in no rush for the new one. I only really use my handhelds in two places: The bathroom, and the bathroom at WORK!!!
