I have a white Play It Loud, what do I win?

>> No.1964238

Not retro by my favorite is the second backlit model (101-A) of the GBA SP. But if we're talking purely retro, the Game Boy Pocket was my favorite incarnation and I'm still kicking myself for trading away mine.

GBC? Pink and solid purple are FAR worse. Yellow is actually on the cool side of things, apart from that uninspired Pikachu model (wasn't that a Pocket though?).

I swear the battery life has something to do with it. at times it is more of a blue colour. but right now it is more green like in the boxart.

Grape is the best GBC color

I currently have the play it loud red but I'd love to have the gameboy light for around the house play.

I recently picked up a blue Game Boy Pocket. Loving it so far. Much easier to play than the original.

I also have this black and purple GB. Is this a Play It Loud model?

The audio quality of the GBC is lower than that of the DMG, plain and fucking simple. Notice how I said the word EARS instead of EYES as well?

Looking through hundreds of pages worth of GB games on my local eBay.

I was hoping to find bargains in assorted lots when I came across it. The funny thing is that the listing was actually titled 'Amazing Tater'.

My personal preference is a Gameboy Color with a Teal front and Strawberry back. Never saw much appeal in GBA games, that's just me.

Was that an actual variant? If it's a custom, from where does the appeal derive?
