The more rare, obscure, or just a guilty pleasure, the better. Maybe you grew up with it, maybe it’s just the nostalgia talking, any reason is fine.

I’m looking for a new game to play, but I’m running out of games to collect!

My favorite is games for original DMG, but you’re welcome to include Color it’ll advance games too!

    But the DX version supported the Gameboy printer. How can you not love the Gameboy printer?!

    In all seriousness though, the color dungeon and the tunics were fun additions.

      I knew one kid that had the printer and I saw it in action one time. It was shit. 😂 Mostly it comes from nostalgia for Z:LA, it was the very first game in my life that was bought just for me with my new Gameboy Pocket (not color, I had the ice blue edition).

        My first Gameboy…man. I’m not proud of that.

        I had been begging my mom for one, and she just couldn’t afford it.

        At breakfast one day (school) I seen one of the rich kids rocking his Gameboy. Battery pack attached to his belt, rad case hanging from his backpack. I was so jealous.

        A few days later he snuck it out in class and the teacher took it and stuck it in her desk.

        It was lunchtime. I waited until I was the last person in the class. I ran to the desk, snatched it, and then watched for them to disappear down the hall.

        I ran to the bag room and stuck it in my backpack. I started to run to catch up with the class and it hit me, “they’re gonna search us all.” I got it back out of my bag, seen the hall was empty and ran for my brother’s class.

        I found his backpack and stuck it at the bottom under his things.

        When we got on the bus I raced up to him and said, “do not open your bag. I put something in there. We’re in big trouble if anyone sees it.” He was white as a ghost the whole ride home.

        When we got in we ran up to our room. I got it out and opened the case. Ren and Stimpy, Mario, Zelda, Contra, Mega Man, Mortal Kombat. I had hit the jackpot.

        I played Contra (Operation C) all evening.

        My brother kept giving me a hard time, “You stole that. That kid is going to be very sad.” At first I brushed him off, but then it started wearing on me.

        Fuck! I’ll take it back.

        I thought, “I’ll lie and say I stole it from the teacher for him.” My brother said, “Just tell the truth. Maybe you won’t get in trouble.”

        I decided to tell the truth and hope he wouldn’t rat me out.

        He beat the piss out of me on the playground.

        Less than a week later one of my best friends got one as a gift from a family member for her birthday. She already had one, knew I wanted one, so she gave me her old one with a copy of Zelda and Mario Land 2, the only two games I ever owned for it. She now had a rad red Gameboy and I had her gray original. I still have it to this day. It doesn’t work any more, but I won’t throw it out. She actually gave me the red one too when she stopped playing it. I traded it for every Nirvana album when my mom threw mine out. She was very religious and worried that Kurt Cobain would be a bad influence (he was, still love the music though).

        Later when someone stole my Gamegear, I felt like I deserved it. I traded my football equipment for that thing and I loved it.

        Edit: I forgot the whole reason I replied in the first place haha. My cousin got the printer for Christmas. That was a boring story any way. Glad I got distracted.
