Who wants a Gameboy color review? :P

Izaya Orihara

So I just saw Austin Evans tweet about how he got a new Gameboy color and I remembered how much fun I had with my gameboy. 

So I went on ebay and I found a factory sealed Gameboy color in the same atomic purple that my old Gameboy color had. $_57.JPGThe downside : It's 140€. :/ I feel like it's a bit of a waste but I think I will buy it. Do you guys want me to review it if I buy it :P? Oh? You want to know the purpose of that review? There is no purpose except some fun nolstagia. :)

Factory new? Lucky!

 

But sure. Should be enjoyable. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

Awesome.

Better question: Who doesn't want a Gameboy Color review? Because if they don't, they need to be shot and quartered. /joke

I remember forever ago reading a comment in Nintendo magazine by a British kid and they were complaining 'color' was spelled wrong. :P

I just got it :) along side a carrying Pokémon case (The same I had when I had my old gameboy), Pokémon Blue, Pokémon Red, Pokémon Silver, Pokémon Gold, Pokémon yellow (Yes I used to like Pokémon a lot.) A Jungle book game that I was never able to beat because it was fucking confusing and there were invisible stairs and shit. 

 

I did cost me a total of 230,99€ but I think I'll be worth it :P It should be here tomorrow. Expect my review next week or so.

 

Also I contaced the seller and he told me that he had another one that he could sell to me and I'm thinking about buying it and keeping it in the box and to sell it for more money that some point :) Do you think that that's a good idea?

Honestly, I would. You never know how much they may bring in, in another 10 years or so. Especially in the box. It will most likely pay for itself and much more.

You use I or l and there no real way to tell.  And it seems like you use capitial I and non capitial l. (Or atleast I think so. Or I just had a typo somewhere)

 

B: I do. But I wanted you guys's (? Is that correct?) opinon on it.

That's what I was thinking. I'm thinking about buying it along side as many new (sealed) Gameboy color games I can find for a resonable price and sell it once the Gameboy color and Gameboy color games became really rare.

If they go missing, don't blame me. I was never stealing stuff!

When you have a screen like mine with a decent resolution, but the screen itself is pretty small... You do it often. :D

I once had a Color. I once had an Advance. I once had a DS. I once had a 3DS. What happened?

 

I had them all in my special "Gameboy bag" and took them with me on a boattrip. Only problem was that I slipt on the floating dock (a long floating metal construction with arms on both sides where boats dock. No idea if that is the right word :( ) and lost the entire bag in the ocean.

Anyway, my sad story aside: I would love to see this review happen :)
