My personal console colection. What's your favourite Gameboy? (lemmy.world)

I got an atomic purple gameboy color when I was a child along with six games.

In 2015 I found it back in a box and that got me into collecting consoles, games and into modding for few years.

I haven't bought anything regarding gameboy in a while (due prices being crazy mostly 🫤) but though of sharing again to get interesting discussions going on.

What is your favourite console for playing?

For me at home I've used a lot the backlited gameboy advance as it's quite good ergonomic-wise. For commuting I've played usually fire emblem in the GBA SP and the tetris in the pokemon mini, super good ones and battery lasts a lot! 😎

Mt favorite is my red SP. I put so many hours into that thing playing Fire Red and Zelda. My first gameboy was a green GBC, but I tried to “mod” it with a rechargeable battery in highschool, and ended up frying it :(

I still have my red SP, but I can’t play it because the screen is atrocious. I find it hard to believe that I was ever able to play on that thing! I also don’t want to risk modding it (even though I’m much better at that stuff than I was in HS lol)

My SP is unmodded as well. I found it very friendly in the eyes to play in the 7.30AM bus with the darkness.

Try to get yourself an used GBA (or GBC if you want some sort of closure) and mod it, even if more expensive now, should be doable
