And especially if you keep a copy of Tetris DX in it

little thing is a champ, I can stick two AA batteries in there and they'll last for months and won't corrode

my high score is over 500,000 but it's been a while since I've gotten to that ballpark, I'm out of practice

That actually is my Gameboy Color setup too, OP. I also have every other GameBoy except the Micro though. Gonna have to get one and a sweet faceplate at some point.


E: Also I no longer have any Play It Loud! Edition GameBoys, that is my secret shame.

mine is teal but I'm thinking of getting a purple one off ebay. they're kinda expensive if you want one w/o scratches though.

I have a transparent purple one and a regular purple one. I've got the three Dragon Quest ports for it and the three Zelda games. Also Magi Nation, Metal Gear, and Super Mario.

The regular purple color one my cousin had was the thing that made me realize that purple, and not blue was my actual favorite color.

lots of the non-platformer kirby games are really tough. Block Ball, Tilt'n'Tumble, Dream Course, even Mass Attack.

apparently steve wozniak keeps two game boy lights + a link cable and several games in his travel pack

the only real prob w/ the gbc is how dark the screen is

yeah, I had one of those giant attachments with a light, magnifier, and stereo speakers. Looked like a really lame Transformer, but kicked rear end on road trips.

I had the bitchin clear purple one. sadly it broke like way back when I was in middle school, but that was just a few months before the advance came out so I got to preorder one of those and was the first of my friends to have one. so really things worked out for the best.

if your batteries are corroded that means you're not playing it and well, then you might as well not have it

I just remembered this exists



it's compatible with GBC games, I'm not sure if it's 100% but maybe, and has a backlight

only drawback is it uses a different resolution screen so a small part of the screen is cropped off
