You weren't one of the cool kids unless your gameboy looked like a goddamn Transformer.

I had the purple one because I got it for Christmas 1998. I got Pokemon Blue and a PSX with FF7 too. It was one of the most epic gaming Christmases ever

Its impossible to play on a non backlit screen now. Remember how lovely the first gameboy advance was you had to have a light shining on the screen from an inch away just to see poo poo

I had a sega nomad. I even made a cool sega nomad thread tag but ralp didn't take it. It didn't have to be fashionable because it only had like 2 hours of battery life with 6 batteries and so I left it inside plugged in.

I used to just borrow my friends GameBoys, until one year when I got a red GameBoy Pocket with Pokemon Red and my sister got a blue one with Pokemon Blue.

Game Gear was pretty great if you were a rich oval office who could afford a thousand AA batteries a week.

That was the Christmas where I got my N64, Pokemon Snap, Madden, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, and our family got our dog (an epic gaming dog for many years) Christmas 98 FTW.

My SP is probably the most use I got out of any handheld. Maybe my DS.

I had a black pocket and an atomic purple color

then I got a bundle from the back of an issue of game informer with a used gamecube and a used gba. The gba's screen looked like someone had taken a rotary sander to it it was so scratched and the gamecube stopped reading discs after like a week so I ended up returning it anyway.

Stayed out of the handheld game till I got a platinum GBASP. That got lost/stolen at a library, just in time for me to start saving up to replace it with that swag NES edition one that came with the sticker that made it look like a nes controller.

I have the MKDS red DS but when I cracked my screen and got it repaired they sent it back in a new clamshell that had a matte finish instead of the normal glossy one.

Literally every single GameBoy I've owned has been the standard original version.

Side note: I owned basically every single variety.

GameBoy
Pocket
Color
GBA
GBA SP
Micro
DS

Never got a 3DS because I'm old but really really want one nowadays.
