Buying a Gameboy?

[iBlueBox]

I feel like buying a Gameboy just to play some classic games like Mario , Pokemon ect.

Wondering wheres the cheapest place to get them from these days?

I was thinking of looking in places like Cash Converters?

You'd be better off just playing an emulator

I agree There are plenty of emulators for gameboy and other old consoles, although some may not play every game. If you really want to buy one though, try ebay?

ebay is your best bet. I used to be into emulators but for some reason i like collecting old game consoles and games, i just like owning a physical copy...

Why would he use an emulator when he asked where to buy a gameboy

anyone who can actually enjoy playing really old gb games on a keyboard must of really hated their gameboys

Try playing your gameboy in the dark or without sufficient light. There's a reason we have new technology. Emulators work on phones also btw, they aren't limited to desktops.

I DONT PLAY GAMES IN THE DARK BECAUSE IT'S BAD FOR YOUR EYES

**** is wrong with people they know nothing these days

A disagree with just getting emulators. If it suits you then sure, but some people like the original console for the nostalgia feel and actualy being able to play the game as it was intended to.

There are tons of second hand gameboys around peoples homes that still work perfectly. I know many people that would simply just give me their old gameboy. In fact i've got about 5 game boys lying around the house that i accepted off people who were just going to throw them away. If you search the internet and look in the right place i'm pretty sure that you could get it for under 10 euro (or less in pounds) easily.

I think the point he was trying to make wasn't about straining your eyes, it was the fact pretty much all old gameboys were awful unless you played in decent light. You couldn't see **** on my gameboy pocket when I was a kid
