Ah, the good ol days. I miss my Gameboy. I want to buy one again just to relive that nostalgia from back in the early 90's.

[@DongCorleone]

I never knew about Donkey Kong for Gameboy when I was younger. As an adult, I went to the local vintage game store to buy it and they had no clue what I was talking about. They were able to find it at another location and didn't even know what price to put on it. It seems alot of people still have no clue how good that game really is. Great video as always. Cheers

[@GregsGameRoom]

I feel that it's the BEST GB game ever! Seems unforgivable that a game store wouldn't know about it!

[@harrysweep5846]

Gameboy is legendary! After my last divorce, I quit collecting and put games down for a bit, but when I started up again, I kept it simple and stuck to only gameboy/game gear! That eventually got old and I went back to full blown grab all, but I’m glad I had focused on ol GB because I have a ton of GB games & consoles! Someday I’ll start up these vids like you guys do, share all with YT

[@GregsGameRoom]

I imagine it's a great system to collect for. I bet the games are cheap!

[@harrysweep5846]

@@GregsGameRoom they used to be dirt cheap! Most of them I had to dig out of baseball card books behind the counter! So many games available, i probably have not even 30% of them? Thanks for your video and reply!

Thirty Five years!

[@GregsGameRoom]

And still has some great ones!

[@Jolt7800]

I received a GameBoy as a gift. And even though it was light years ahead of the blippy, single game handhelds from the late 70s, I only would get a few games for the GameBoy. So it is nice to go down memory lane and take a look at some very good games for the iconic system.

[@GregsGameRoom]

I remember I had one called "Trojan Horse." Wish I knew where it was, it's probably valuable today!

[@marccaselle8108]

Double dragon 2 on gameboy was actually a kunio kun game in Japan

[@randy7894]

Still love the Gameboy for what it is. A super advanced game and watch machine. Also It's great to be a gameboy collector nowdays. Games are still very affordable and widely avalible.

[@GregsGameRoom]

Hm... I might need to get more games if they're cheap.

[@sloppynyuszi]

Not sure how it’s that though. It doesn’t tell the time and the games are akin more to black and white NES games. I guess you have some single screen arcade games on it and some game and watch remakes… but I never saw it as an evolution of that.

[@ShrinerdawgGameWorld]

Holy crap! I feel old! I had a game boy when I was a kid and I absolutely loved it!

[@GregsGameRoom]

Crazy how time flies...

[@earthskarma]

I got a DMG for Christmas of 93. Pawned it in college in '07. Recently got another DMG. Love that system. Great video 🤘

[@japangamejunk]

My best gift for my 8th birthday! I've collected every Game Boy incarnation but wish I still had the one I received in 1989...

[@CokerCulture]

I had forgotten all about how much I loved the Wario games!! And DK is definitely on my Mt Rushmore of Gameboy games too!

[@r0b0m1r0]

YES. I sold my original game boy a while back. This year we started to get back into it. Miss the games. Simple. Peace!-)

[@GregsGameRoom]

Yeah, simple fun games!

[@mymusic3354]

I remember getting one when they first came out.....35 years.....How time flies! It was great to be able to play games wherever, as long as you had a bunch of batteries 👍

[@Gametester110-qf8vs]

I'm a Sega fan first and foremost but, give Nintendo it's props. The Original Gameboy is a Legendary handheld! Gotta love those Classic Monochrome graphics. It's got that nostalgic charm going for it.

[@susanfit47]

I miss my Nintendo Game Boy (also called Game Boy, Game Boy (original), Nintendo Game Boy (original) and the original Game Boy). I want to rebuy one again one day to add it to the Game Boy family line, just to relive this nostalgia from back in the 90's.

[@jonbourgoin182]

Keep em coming, Greg! Really been digging your content! Have you done worst Game Boy games yet? That should be a fun one to do..lol

[@GregsGameRoom]

Not sure if that would be "fun" but I'll probably do a "Worst Games" video. ;-)

[@Openreality]

Motocross maniacs, good times. That was my fave game as well as Spiderman and Mario 2. Honestly imo, unless the games were really bad, it was too easy to love the Gameboy games and it's porta.

[@aztn19]

7:15 I’ve had this game on my mind for YEARS but could never remember the name! I remember getting it and a volleyball game for cheap from a pawn shop as a kid so that I had other games besides MarioLand and Tetris.

[@jarmanolivares]

I got it April 1990 for my birthday. Damn I'm old😂

[@retrojoe85]

Got it for Christmas 1994, a bit late in its lifespan but always enjoyable. Especially if you come from an Atari 2600 and many Tiger Electronics handhelds, I suppose! :D I still play it to this very day.

[@GregsGameRoom]

Oh, good thing it's still working! Sadly my GBC's buttons don't work anymore. :-/

[@retrojoe85]

@@GregsGameRoom maybe you need just to replace the rubbers, who knows?

I had a lot of Tiger LCDs years before I got the original Gameboy in 1991

[@MJFallout]

18:07 That's just what happens when the console is unable to boot a game: The Nintendo text appears garbled in various ways, there's no chime, and nothing else happens. It's expected behavior, and it's extremely likely that all that is needed is for you to clean the contact pins on your cartridge. If that doesn't do anything, first confirm that the console reliably boots other games. If not, it might be need cleaning of the connector in the cartridge slot.

[@GregsGameRoom]

I may have just not seated the cart in securely. Battleship was working even if the buttons on the GBC don't seem to anymore.

[@MJFallout]

@@GregsGameRoom the GBC is probably the easiest Game Boy to work on. With a short time spend on research (and the correct screw bit to open it with) you should have no problem at all restoring/refurbishing or even modding your Color, should you feel that's something you want to do.

[@gr8t1bobo]

I suggest Mickey's Dangerous Chase, great gameboy game that not allot know about.

[@ronaldhenson3379]

[@RayPruitt-ji9jx]

"If you were colorblind and had an IQ below 10, then you wouldn't care which portable you had." Sega said "Put away your little boy toys." Atari said "Take your hands out of your pockets." Tiger Electronics said Stick and stones may break our bones, but portable power will always haunt you!

[@GregsGameRoom]

Ha, Nintendo knew what they were doing. Undercut everyone else with a cheap handheld and fun games.

[@rustymixer2886]

[@jamesborlan2850]

35 years of Gameboy While not all of the titles are winners the system still revolutionized gaming by being a portable system that plays like the plug in consoles at the time Beforehand there was game and watch, tiger (which somehow survived throughout the 90s), and even Konami and coleeco made some portable games

[@kidgruesome407]

You forgot Kid Icarus: of Myths and Monsters. That, pokemon and Links Awakening are the best gameboy games.

[@GregsGameRoom]

Kid Icarus was released in Nov. 1991.

My first two games were Super Mario and castlevania. I’ve remained disappointed in the system since.

[@Sarcophagus74]

Not crazy about how you can trap yourself so easily...

[@aloiivwizard]

[@GregsGameRoom]

[@Badger8200]

I would have to add pokemon to the list.

[@bubblegum-grey9358]

Pokémon isn't that good. Red and blue are basically the same and yellow just has a few things different but the walkthrough it's pretty much the same as red and blue. I've played those games several times and I can tell they get boring after defeating the four elite. Complete the Pokedex isn't for everyone and it's frustrating when you don't have someone to trade Pokemons which is necessary in order to fullfil that task.

[@plainlazy2097]

@4:50 press select

[@MJFallout]

It's even simpler actually: It's B that let's you see the whole course, the details of the green, and then the current location again. SELECT brings up the save menu instead (Golf saves quite a bit of different stuff, so it was advanced in that regard), while START shows you the score card for the entire 18 hole course (as if you had an actual paper card on you that you needed to fill out with a pencil after every hole). As one can tell, I have grown very fond of Golf. It can be a cruel mistress though that requires some serenity to properly play. Better still, the original save battery from late 1989 in my (Japanese) copy even still works. I will throw a party for it (not really) in December this year for its 35 year work anniversary.
