Wow. I wasn't even conscious that GameBoy is turning 20.

An neighbor of mine has / had the original GameBoy. It was "the brick".

Also, the Gameboy is one tough machine. I heard a story from someone about a guy in the Persian Gulf War who had a Gameboy pocket with him; when an explosion happened in battle, the Gameboy actually remained intact mostly after it. I don't know if that is confirmed fact though, just wanted to say something about the good old GameBoy.

Heh, I can believe it. The original Game Boy could take quite a beating. I had a friend who stupidly put his in the washer once and it survived.

Most of Nintendo's consoles are tough. I had a friend whose Gamecube was electricuted by lightning and it survived. His Xbox got fried though. :sad:

yh but all old consoles were/are hard wearing, if i go and drop my ps3 im pretty sure it will break.

but on the other hand if i was to drop my psp it will survive, it kinda makes sense portable devices have to be hard wearing, i cant say that for the ds.

I painted mine fluro pink with black stripes *well, i thought it was cool........at the time*:blushing:

Still have my GB, gotten on the christmas of it's launch year :)

im too young to have one of these, however i did the gbc on the release yh of christmas, i got the pokemon one, lol, i used to love tthat show.

I used to watch Digimon when I was a kid, that was one good show. Too bad it lasted only 3 seasons.

I can't believe its been out for that long, i've still got mine although the screen has lines that go through it so you cant relaly play games on it anymore, but i can still say that it works. I remember playing zelda on it all of the time. Those were the days

I still have mine and it has no dead pixels and it fully works. My first game was pokemon yellow....and then Red....and then all of the other ones lol (I had all versions except the ones for NDS).
Actually I'm turning it on right now, the sound is still perfect too! :D

I still have my game boy pocket (the silver one ^^)
It is still fully functionnal :D

"un truc de malade cette console !"

Hmmm, i wasn't aware of the slimmer gameboy, interesting! :)

First portable I played was a yellow GB with Donkey Kong Land
My first GB was a yellow GBpocket with Super Mario Land 1 & 2 and Pokémon Blue

They had yellow GBs? I never saw one before. Over here in the USA, we only had gray availbe as a GB color.

Wow. I still remember going berserk over pokemon when it came out, i played that for 2 or 3 days straight.

@jx- digimon ruled!! To bad pokemon ruined its reputation and killed the series.

Who remembers the good old days when multiplayer was hooking up two gameboys and using that? Man i miss those days.

Didn't you have the cable plugged into both , i remember that, lol

i only have a GBA advanced

I didn't know Pokemon ruined Digimon. Huh. Well, now I know why the show just disappeared. Thank you. :smile:

digimon i though was better then pokemon

Digimon was awesome. Most of my friends liked Pokemon at the time, so nobody really shared the fun of Digimon with me excpet my siblings who watched the show with me.

i use to play digimon world 4 all day with my friends

I prefered the show more. I would try my best to NEVER miss an episode (except Season 3, that wasn't that good).

i didnt have cable so i missed lots

Same here. I had an antenna to watch TV when I was a whee one.

same and i got 2 chanels lmao

aah but then i discovered internet and all my problems where solved

I had Fox 43, UPN 15, ABC 27, and PBS 33 as my only channels to watch when I had the antenna.

I'm glad I found the internet too. :w00t: Internet pwns TV.
