You will literally never understand this game unless you've played it on the original gameboy, with the volume up and the contrast on medium. Not the gameboy pocket or the gameboy color. The grey brick.

Nice bait.
A shitty blurry screen doesn't "make" the game, and I say this as a DMG enthusiast.
It may be the original, authentic way to play to play from an aesthetic point of view, but it's not the only way to "understand" the game, and far from the most comfortable way to play it today.

Why is there so much shitposting about SML1 these days?
It's a fun, if short game.
I like the tiny sprites a hell of a lot better than SML2's larger sprites, you get the same sort of play area here like you'd have with SMB1 on the NES.
I wish Mario didn't drop like a rock when you walked off of a platform, and that's my one gripe with the game.

You loose the original GB's greenish yellow tint. I personally strongly associate that look with original GameBoy games, so that is my preferred way to play. I could see some people disliking the dim screen, but I played enough games on it back in the day that I don't find it difficult to find a good lighting situation with a lamp or whatever.

Anonymous Thu Jun 27 22:35:42 2019 No.5696156

You're right in some way OP.
Gameboy games have a unique look and feeling to them when played on the OG brick. These days though I find myself annoyed by the screen's ghosting and needing a light pointed at a perfect angle. There are so many different options now to play these games, I rarely go back and use the DMG. It IS the authentic way to experience it, and it is quite magical, but the games on their own stand by themselves, and I wouldn't discredit anyone's experience of them just because they didn't play them in pea soup green.

The first time I played this game was at my cousin's on an emulator in black and white on a CRT monitor around '97, and he even had a gamepad which made it feel like a console game. Hell it being a handheld game never even occurred to me at the time.
I would take that any day over playing it on a tiny, unlit, screen.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jun 27 22:43:34 2019 No.5696170 My first experience playing SML was on a Gameboy Color, the brown sprites that stick out will forever remain part of my memories. How dare you discredit MY retro experience OP.

If you want to be that reductive then no one can understand it anymore because you can't TRULY understand Mario Land if it's not 1989 and you're a ten year old kid playing under your blankets with a flashlight and the volume as low as possible while still being audible because it's past your bed time, but you don't want to get caught.

look I get the nostalgia too, I sometimes pull out my brick for old time's sake, there is an undeniable charm to it espeiclaly if you used one back then. but please stop with the obvious bait shit threads like "this is literally the one and only way to experience this properly otheriwise you have never lived" shit.

Yea? And I'm Shigeru Miyamoto and the first time I coded this bullshit for gameboy I was consciously aware that one day it wouldn't be played on its original hardware and context of use and its value would be diminished and judged as it was used on proprietary home based computer systems. now take your emufagging and leave, zoom zoom.
