I had two original gameboys, those things degrade really bad. Maybe no audio, maybe the display lines working get less and less.
So what I can recommend very much is getting an analogue pocket if you want it premium, hardware emulated or one of the anbernic devices if you want it still quite good but massively cheaper and software emulated.
I regret leaving my Gameboy behind in the divorce. I wasn’t thinking straight at the time.
I been playing the Gameboy games on my switch and omg when I started Tetris I got the biggest fistful of nostalgia
I now have that music stuck in my head.
Delta is a great emulator on the phone, if you’re jonesing for some portable nostalgia
It’s been really fun replaying GBA games
Virtual buttons on a phone screen fucking suck, though.
Agreed, if you have the means the real game boy (or another clone) is best
But for simple games like Pokémon, Advance War, and Kirby I’ve been able to make do
And it’s free.99 on something I always have on me so that wins out for me
Don’t keep that regret.
