Buying a Gameboy?

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

It's Stephen, he's the equivalent of a terrible/unfunny troll. I didnt reply to him for a reason, i'd just ignore him if i were you.

I'm not even attempting to troll, I just don't get why someone who wants to play classic games that he probably played ON A GAMEBOY when he was younger would use an emulator over an actual gameboy

Because of the reasons already listed in this thread, or are you somehow incapable of reading now? It's a typical case of rose-tinted glasses. He'll get the gameboy and then realise he has to sit next to the ******* sun to be able to see what he's playing.

I'm with Stephen. Emulators are no substitute for the real thing. I couldn't bare playing Pokemon on a computer with a keyboard. If you're that worried about light, just get an old SP.

True, you cant beat the real deal but an emulator is a good substitute if you're not that bothered about playing it the way it was intended.

I personally can't play old school game boys anymore. I can't deal without a backlight. The only way you can see the screen is if you sit on the core of the sun >____< I play all my game boy games on my game boy advance SP now.

Playing things like Pokemon on an emulator is fine for me. I just can't play Mario >.> the controls are awkward.
