They won't, they're using off the shelf parts, there's no way they'll have screens cusom built for a $30 GBC clone. That said, the aspect ratio isn't a huge deal, it's really similar to how the Super Game Boy displays things, actually.

>>4021717 is exactly right, it's very close to the SGB and no one screams about that. Also the GB Boy is $30, well worth it to play in the dark.

Can also vouch for the GB Boy Colour, my only complaint is that the plastic screen lens is incredibly easy to scratch. Mine already looks like shit, and it's not like I treated it poorly. I mainly use it in the dark though, so it's not a huge issue.

>Which version of the Gameboy was your first
An original DMG I got used at Electronic Boutique. The Pocket had been out awhile, but I saved up and could afford the original.

>First games
Pokemon Yellow; along with saving for the used DMG, I pulled together all the money I had to get a copy of Pokemon with it, I found Yellow used at a Blockbuster and ended up a few dollars short at the register (I was like 10, didn't factor tax, etc). The girl who rang me up pitched in the rest after seeing how sad I was, and I'll never forget that.

>How do you play your games now
Mostly on a Black Pocket I've had forever, it's my favorite version of the hardware. I also have a GB Boy Colour I use to play in the dark or Color-only games. I've also got one of the awesome 'DMG Color' GB Pockets from Japan.

>Favorite games
Pokemon R/Y/S, Alleyway, Game & Watch Galleries, Last Bible series. The GB really was a Pokemon machine for me as a kid, I'm only now getting into its greater library. Should probably get an EverDrive...

>>3893667 makes some great points, I'm personally a big GB Pocket fan. I got a GB Boy Colour recently though, and it's a great, cheap solution if you want to play in the dark. I use my Pocket when I've got good light, and the GB Boy otherwise.
