are you fucking blind?

>>1487831
Nope

Yay, I think I have got that one.

well theres always a gb thread but whatever...i love game boy so lets do it!

>>1487914
>no gb light

do you even gb? nice purple pocket tho

>>1487925
I don't have enough money these days, focusing on arcade stuff, but someday!

>>1487929
hey that purple pocket has no rubber under the buttons?

>>1487934
It's the same as the others internally.

bump

going on a trip soon, think i'm going to bring my Gameboy color with me.

I've been looking at used game prices. there's all kinds of random games I'd totally get. I'm thinking about getting that james bond game. Always wanted it when I was a kid but never had the money. It probably sucks but I kind of want it anyway.

>hurr durr emulation

I want to play it on a fucking Gameboy.

>>1492684

Honestly, the best part about it is playing black jack, baccarat, and red dog. The main game is alright when you get used to it, though.

>>1492684
>I want to play it on a fucking Gameboy.

why would you? back when I was young I could deal with the tiny ass screen just fine but now I can't. you're really better off emulating it on a huge ass gamepad tablet or something.

>>1492684
Depending on how much money you plan on spending on games, it might be easier/cheaper to get a flash cart.

>>1493101
Why are you on /vr/?

>>1493101
>back when I was young I could deal with the tiny ass screen just fine but now I can't

Translation:
>I think everybody is me.

The gameboy screen is fine.

>>1493101
I want something I don't have to charge. Also something I won't care too much about if I lose.

>>1493101
>you're really better off emulating it on a huge ass gamepad tablet or something.

>>1494693
>something I won't care too much about if I lose.

oh man... what happened to vr?

Well this is a gameboy thread, so let's talk gb games.

Has anyone actually beaten pic related? If so, how the hell?? I can do level 3 now, just about, but level 4 is impossible!

>>1494954
I don't get this post, the last part of it. A game boy is inexpensive in 2014. He'd probably rather lose that than an expensive phone or emulation machine. What's to be misunderstood about that?

>>1494970

>>1494970
>I don't give a shit about my property because its inexpensive

I hope someone mugs you and steals your shit. its ok, its inexpensive so not to worry huh.

>>1494970
You value a products worth by how much its physically worth?

You beast.

>>1494975
Now that's what I call strawmanning.

Nowhere in that post did I say anything about "not caring" about property. I said he would probably RATHER lose an inexpensive Game Boy than a phone or emulation machine.

>>1494989
Losing something that costs 100+ bucks vs. Losing something that doesn't even cost 30.

This isn't hard. Think about which one you'd spend more money replacing if it was lost or broken.

>>1494990
why? just because it costs less? he would rather lose something because its physically worth less to the public?

...

>>1494995
>he would rather lose something because its physically worth less to the public?

See

>>1494992

Are you people stupid or something?

>>1494996
Cost of the item isn't the be all and end all.

Just because it cost more means shit.

So in your logic
>Cost > everything else?
A ring i got from my grandfather probably cost less then an 64gb iphone. which one would you think id rather lose? the ring right? less value huh.

Ironic you calling others stupid.

>>1494997
Your mistake here is thinking everyone has sentimental value over some fucking hardware. Since I was a kid, I've lost and replaced games and hardware throughout the years. All I care about is playing games. It doesn't matter to me or not whether the shit I'm using is the same shit I had when I was a kid.

All I care about is playing games. Replacing a GBC is a hell of a lot less than it costs to replace a portable emulation machine.

Stop projecting your sentimentalism on everyone else. I'm merely explaining why someone might prefer the option, you retarded fuck.

such retards ITT

property gets stolen less often than you would think and then it's still better to not play your games while traveling on a tiny ass shit screen with no back lighting. yeah, real smart in the day of better technology.

>muh shitty retro device

it's about the games and how can I experience them the best way possible.

>>1495001
Oh i see. So because you have no sentimentality over a certain thing that means everyone shouldn't either?

Sorry who the fuck are you again?

>Replacing a GBC is a hell of a lot less than it costs to replace a portable emulation machine.
Why because it costs a few less coins... twat.

>>1494997
Use commas, you autistic fuck

>>1495004
calm down, your anger is showing. Don't let the anon online upset you.

>>1495005
>So because you have no sentimentality over a certain thing that means everyone shouldn't either?

That wasn't the point, retard. I explained why someone might care less about losing a gameboy, then the retarded sentimental police rolled in and pretended they don't understand how money works. I don't give a shit about how much you care about your gameboy. I'm explaining to you why someone else probably wouldn't mind losing one. Holy fuck you are dumb.

>Why because it costs a few less coins

Yes, that's the point I'm making.

>>1495008
>I'm explaining to you why someone else probably wouldn't mind losing one.
But i'm explaining to you why someone else might be upset loosing his gameboy rather his phone.

Holy fuck you are dumb.

>>1495008
>you are dumb.
you're

>>1495010
>loosing his gameboy

You blew it

>>1495010
>rather his phone

You dun fucked

>>1495010
>But i'm explaining to you why someone else might be upset loosing his gameboy rather his phone.

Yes, I know how sentimentalism works. I don't deny that people feel this way. However, I'm not talking about people who are sentimental. I'm simply explaining why someone might not mind losing a damn game boy. I understand how much you love your stupid hunk of plastic. Not everyone feels that way and that's the point I'm making. That much should be obvious from my post.

>Holy fuck you are dumb.

Says the person who came in this thread, misinterpreted posts, and started projecting.

in b4 "but some of us care about our shit!"

Not even the point I'm making. Not once did I come in here and speak for you people that have some sort of value for your shit. I'm talking about people who have less hangups over their property.

>>1495020
>I'm talking about people who have less hangups over their property.
So you can come and speak for the people that think like you tho if anyone thinks different then fuck them right?

I'm talking about the people who do give a shit.

That's nice.

It also has fuck all to do with you going full autism over the fact that some people might not give a shit about losing their stuff. There was no reason for you to come in here and get butthurt from the mere suggestion that someone on this planet might not care as much if they lose a 30 dollar piece of hardware compared to something much more expensive.

>>1495031
Swing and a miss.

>>1495001
>Your mistake here is thinking everyone has sentimental value over some fucking hardware
You do realise you're on /vr/ right? Believe it or not some people care about their items regardless of price.

>>1495045
>Believe it or not some people care about their items regardless of price.

I have never once denied this.

The problem here is that people in this thread decided to flip out because of simple suggestion that maybe others don't feel that way about hardware.

>>1495049
>The problem here is that people in this thread decided to flip out because of simple suggestion that maybe others don't feel that way about hardware.
Then stop getting so butt hurt when you find out people do give a shit about their hardware.

>>1495053
>Then stop getting so butt hurt when you find out people do give a shit about their hardware.

Anon, this entire argument was instigated by someone who got butthurt because of the mere suggestion that one would rather replace a piece of 30 dollar hardware.

Nowhere in my original post did I say, "Everyone who has a Game Boy feels this way". I never did any of that. People came in this thread and started spewing autism over nothing, as if my comments were directed at them. They weren't.

Go read the thread again. Nowhere did I make this implication, but you keep trying to shove it into my mouth for some retarded reason.

>>1494954
lol, it's just plan cheaper to replace a Gameboy than it is to replace an ipad or something. I won't be emotionally devastated if I misplace it.

>>1494997
you're an idiot. I can't replace grandpa's old ring. it's unique.

a Gameboy? I can get another one on amazon for 20 bucks. I don't want to rebuy it. but I'd probably prefer to buy a new Gameboy instead of a new iPad or something

you idiots will argue about anything.

>>1495318
>you idiots will argue about anything.
No we won't you moron jeeez!! Talk about big headed! So because you think that we will all argue that means we actually will? Haha I laugh at you.

>>1495318
>it's just plan cheaper

You blew it

I'm starting to build my GB collection and I badly need a GBA SP. My eyes just aren't as good as wen I was a kid and I've been spoiled by the DS's backlighting. Any tips on picking one up for less than 45 goddamn dollars?

Lel y u play these old shitty Game Boy's games? That's old tech and old outdated ideas made for an inferior device. Buy an iPad and play modern games that are more appealing and have better design philosophy (read: actual gamed and not too long and too hard epics like Mario Land) like Flappy Bird and Angry Birds.

>>1495813
So the two SP models are AGS-001 and AGS-101. 101 has a backlit screen instead of a frontlit one so it's in much higher demand and they sell for more. Your best bet for a cheap one is the 001 model.

>this whole stupid fucking argument

Serious question, though: any good beginners guides for modding GBs?

>>1495003
>muh shitty retro device
>>>/out/

I can't believe I bought this piece of shit instead of the Metal Gear game.

so bad. I was a kid and didn't read reviews. Paid normal price for it. Whyyyyy

>>1500221
You didn't have shovelware sense. I knew those army men games were bad news. So many of the fucking things and based off a pretty generic premise.

this game was good times. never beat it without cheating.

I may need to take another crack at it

alright, everyone stand the fuck back

>>1500252
i used this at the store displays but never had my own.

bought one off gamestop years later for like 3 dollars. It was pretty useless without a printer and paper. But it was worth $3 to actually have it.

>>1494965
I remember I traded this and four other games + my original gameboy for a Gameboy Color.

I regret it everyday.

Just to let you guys know...
