Original Game Boy

[megakevinexe]

Aaaaahhh yes.... the good old Original Game Boy...! I loved it so! Games for it like Tetris, Super Mario World 2, Pokemon Yellow, Megaman, etc. were SO cool! Too bad it's obsolete(Although I almost have no idea why )I found it in my closet after years of not playing with it no more, since I had new ones like Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, etc. I didn't want to throw it away. I still play with it at home, though! How about you guys? You'all ever had the GB?

ive never had one but i liked games that were for them like pokemon red and super mario!
not such a fan of tetris but it was a pretty big thing back then!
I have a gameboy color and I still want to keep it even though I have an SP and gameboy player for gamecube!

 

[MidnightScott]

Nope - but if anyone had it I would take it from them and play, xD.
The first Game Boy I got was a Game Boy Color back in 1999 or so (thats when I got Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow) - you should go to Nintendo World and see the museum, I heard it's pretty neat.

[megakevinexe]

I know! But why is it obsolete? Is it too big? Too old?

 

[Ex_Mightyena]

what do you mean by obsolete?forgotten?

 

[megakevinexe]

The old Game Boy? Obsolete. Is it too old or something? Or is it too big for a handheld system? It only has like, 4 batteries in it.

 

[MidnightScott]

Well its pretty obvious - outdated ;P

You cant expect an original to be around that long - things change over time and they become much improved.

yeah well did the old gameboy have color to it?
I know color is a real good thing,like do you want to watch a tv with no color?

Was there ever a game called Super Gameboy? I am not sure but I think I saw one, I saw a normal gameboy at the price of $14 (Old one) at Gamer traders, they have everything there, PS2, PS1, N64, GC, Xbox, PC, Sega, GBA, GBC (Game boy colour) and older gameboy), Ninetdo Mirco

That didn't answer the question. -_-;

Oooohhhh I see. And it's not a good idea to be playing with it in front of people, is it?

No, It didn't. Well, black and white makes it more memorable.

Old Black & White cartoons are really fun to watch.

but anyway - here's a helpful page on Obsolescence (Obsolete): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsolete

The original Game Boy did not have color - it was a green screen with black pixel games on it such as Tetris, Pokémon, and Kirby, etc.

There's nothing wrong with playing classic games (unless you are around a bunch of snobby brats who need to act like modern people and not like ancient people)

Yes, there was. It was an accessory for the SNES, so you can play your Game Boy games in the big screen, and in color! For more info., go here! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Game_Boy

My friend has a Super Game Boy. They still have their Super Nintendo (my brother got rid of it when I was younger ;_; I miss it) - yeah, it was kinda neat playing GBC games on the TV for once(yes, they worked O_O)

Not all. My Pokémon Crystal refuses to boot up on the Super Gameboy. You can't play Game Boy Color-only games on the Super Game Boy. However black cartridge games (which can be played on the original GB) could be used on the SGB.

And yes, the Game Boy is obsolete because it's outdated. It's upgraded over the years. Where've you been? It went like this..

Game Boy --> Game Boy Pocket --> Game Boy Light (Japan Only) --> Game Boy Color --> Game Boy Advance --> Game Boy Advance SP --> Game Boy Micro

Game Boy and Game Boy Pocket became obsolete after the Color was released. This is because Color could play old GB games, as well as add some color to them and included its own library of "full color" games. Something the original Game Boy and Game Boy Pocket could not do.

I have one but mine sucked. I've moved on. The original Gameboys are not fun for me. I'd rather play with my DS or my SP

 

[MidnightScott]

Your SP is a Game Boy........

Yeah, sorry Ed - got it confused xD *is tired*

One day I will go out and buy an original Game Boy just for the hell of it.

[Torchic23]

Your SP is a Game Boy........

I mean the original gameboy

 

[Poison Master]

ahhh good old Gameboy, still have mine and all the major games for it.

Although I do wonder if Nintendo will do something like the Nes Classics and re-release some of some of the Gameboy games.

Dur, of course they're not "fun" now that you have WAY advanced technology compared to it. e_e We're talking about a handheld that came out in the late frickin' '80s, while you're going on about saying a handheld from the '00s are much better. Think about the logic behind that. --;
