  • i have two original gameboys, a game gear and a mega drive. from when i was a kid. and still good to play even tho i got ps3 n xbox

  • Hey Jake,

    Where did you pick up that GB

    I got the same deal just with a game gear

  • @RetroGamerGuy10 Oh this was just from some random person on Kijiji

  • I think that the DS gameboys are a big joke compaired to original gameboy and the DS's break alot easier too. After 12 drop your ds is histrory then. original gameboy is better than ds is.

  • I am getting a xbox 30 for xmas but i honestly can't get these out of my mind... I WANT ONE!!!

  • DUDE WHEN U TURN ON THA GAMEBOY SO MANY GOOD MEMORIES CAME BACK!!

  • Found one for 10 dollars. Has a fixable screen problem, but still usable for the games I play.

  • @fifemaster100 actually he's not, he has that flag up because he's interested in the cold war

  • the music of tetris reminds me how i used to play it and tried to get to the bigger rocket! lol

  • How MINT is it with what appears to be a sizeable gouge on the left side of the screen?

  • god damn communist

  • I had one...

    I'm so kicking myself right now for throwing it away when I got a playstation...

    GAH.

  • VERY good video. I started off with a Game Boy Pocket and knew almost nothing of the original. Thank you for uploading this.

  • damn good deal

  • I've been looking all over the place for one, can you give a link to a website that sells them cheap?

  • @DementedDogStudios3 amazon.com

  • Im getting one soon. FOR FREE. Im soo exited :)

  • Good video, but my only complaint is the communist flag in the background.

  • I have this one too!

  • nice vid man! and plz check my video 4 my original gameboy as well!! thx and i subscribed! and did it come with those games or did u get them somewhere?

  • @uwerekilledby It came with everything in the case so all the games.

  • I remember playing that old gameboy a lot in the school bathroom.LMAO teacher can I use the restroom lol those where the days.Great video man!!!

  • is there a low battery indicator on the original game boy? i've had mine for about a month and the batteries haven't died yet, i'm afraid to play pokemon on it incase i get far and lose my progress lol

  • @AndrewDaniele87 no but the red power LED will REALLY start to get weak well before it shuts off so you have lots of time to know.

  • Dude if you have one of these its so cool to show it off and play it in public because its really retro

  • I have a Game Boy Light so I can play it in the dark. It really is a classic console, I was born in 1992 but I can see why people loved this system so much. Oh, to clarify I meant a Game Boy LIght console, the special one that was only sold in Japan. It has a bluish-green old school backlight, it's really awesome.

  • @Samus312 Ah yeah I've seen the Game Boy Light from Japan I wish they released that here instead of the Pocket!

  • @MN12BIRD where did you buy the ac adaptor thing?

  • I still have mine from 1989, though it aint white anymore. It's so old and rusty that it's grey.

    But it still work perfectly fine.

  • I have a scarth on my screen. How do I get it out?

  • @TheWeatherman1100 You can polish the screen with some kind of plastic polish and a microfiber cloth but I've never tried it. You can also usually find replacement screen covers even for old stuff like this.

  • This brings back memories of me being in 6th grade and 11yrs old (1989). A classmate named Drew Bruckner brought his new gameboy in to show me. It was that day I started coveting Nintendo gameboys. I have had every gb model, except for the original.

  • Epic soviet flag in the background :P

  • Thanks for posting, this brought back many childhood memories. :)

  • I loved the Gameboy line of consoles. I like the DS, but I much prefer just basic controllers and buttons, rather than touch screens and stuff. I've always preferred basic controllers over motion controls and touch screen.

  • don't eat it....

  • if the game boy line was never retired, we wouldn't respect it as much as we do today. so yeah, i'm glad we have systems like the nintendo ds and psp, but that doesn't mean we have to play them. they help us recognize what came before them and, in return, retro games are being recognized by kids and teens (like myself who was born in 1996).

  • Either you're really good at Tetris, or I just suck.

  • I killed all my gameboys :)

  • you are a TORTA!!!!

  • i am playing pokemon red in it now!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i just got mario land 2 for my gameboy pocket and it was more fun than i thought it would be! btw great video!

  • I am trying to find a Gameboy (1989 Version), but I can't find any in STL!

  • i'll give you 500 bucks for it

  • woah!such a good deal.All that for 30 bucks...woah.I got my gameboy for 20 bucks and its not even mint and didnt come with anything(not even the batteries).

  • can i buy

  • i still have my original GB but i dont know where the games are, or if it even works. i remember playing donkey kong i think it was. .occupid alot of my time. i got myself a psp and really it wasnt worth it

  • Man, i had one just like this one.. with a Godzilla game, Street Fighter 2, final fight and a lt of other cool games. Sold it to a friend back in the day.. I wish i had kept it, but i needed the money back then. I was like 12 lol.

    It would be worth a lot by now..

  • does it has wifi?

  • Good Video. I like it so much. ;)

  • @CaptainPoovabladoo Yeah. Usually when you pry it off it's still sticky enough to just stick back on though.

  • Back when portable games were shown in glorious green and green.

  • @CaptainPoovabladoo You could try and pry the glued screen cover off...  but I wouldn't try that. You'll need a tri-wing screw driver or a really small flat head you can jam in screws to get opened up, then there's a circuit board screwed onto BOTH halves of the shell. So you'll have to also uncrew the front circuit board to get the screen out and clean it from the inside.

  • Mario Land 1 was a bit different from other Mario titles as it wasn't developed by Shigeru Miyamoto, but rather Gunpei Yokoi's R&D1 team that developed the Gameboy. It's still fun, but not quite as 'Mario'ish as SML2.

    I got my GB when I was 11, Christmas '91. I still have it, but the screen's shot. Too many hours of Metroid II.

  • i wish Nintendo kept the Gameboy but just put anolog sticks on and a better graphics card lol i mean they are rich fuckers but they have pretty bollocks graphics cards for portables lol

  • how do you start the games up

  • @CaptainPoovabladoo EASY theres 1 website where you can get these

  • comminist!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i remember in 2005 or something like that (i was 6 at the time) on christmas morning and i found super mario land underneath my bed and i thought it wouldn't because i had a gameboy advance

  • I will always remember the green screen at 9 years old. Super Mario Land and Tetris were the first games.

  • who kranked up the voulume when the tetris music started

    

  • I want one.

  • i was just playing my gameboy games on my super gameboy

  • Where did you get it from for 30 bucks you luckey duck!

    I'm gonna have to ebay this for sure,Great video!

  • OMG . I LIKED THIS VIDEO BECAUSE IT HAD THE BACK BATTERY COVER TO IT ;D

  • hey i remember super mario land 2 from when i was a kid. Didnt they put an extra chip/processor in that cartridge to help graphics etc?

  • The Gameboy Advance SP was and is the best hand-held, period. It's form factor, graphics, and brite, colorful screen can't be beat.

    Which brings me to: what the FUCK is the Nintendo DS??? It's a half-baked, glorified mental-vibrator for Sudoku-loving soccer moms, and yuppie-wanna-be douche' bags that need a fix of shovelware casino games on their subway/bus ride to the office.

    I'd take an original Gameboy over that garbage ANY day.

  • I want to get a DMG and if i can find it a play it loud

  • I'm glad I have an old gameboy too. Though I feel guilty about not playing on it. The screen is really hard to see. Everything's a blur when the sprites move. But I still like it, it's a memory =)

    I do all my gameboy playing on a mint gameboy color unit. I love the screen, it's so clear, but I miss the big clunkyness of the old gameboy <3

  • did you say 13 dollers? if so, frickin sweet deal. im bord with my ds lite and am tryin to hunt one of these babys down. im only 14 but i am a startrek and nintendo fanboy (or fangirl, rather)

  • I picked one up in Kentucky in a Goodwill for USD($)5.31. It didn't include any games. But, I did buy F1 Race earlier.

  • @JaspronProductionsTv And by the way, I'd just bought SML2 at a retail store, it was the UK PAL version.

  • What are some addicting puzzle games you (whoever is reading this) suggests that are almost or as fun/addicting as Tetris???? (The games would need to be for Gameboy Color, Xbox 360, or (not and) PSP. PLEASE REPLY THANKS.

  • Man my old gameboy wont turn on! I put all the batteries in but WTF!!!

  • commie!

  • @CaptainPoovabladoo ye! either that or a gameboy pocket/colour . they are all awesome but a common thing about the original gameboy is that the screens have dead lines etc , so i say go for a pocket . !

  • i found a master system for 15 bucks at a disscont store and came in the box but i disiede not to buy it

  • @TheGeekplayer then u sir are stupid as fuck

  • @Leoooonard well i didnt have 15 bucks and i dont like buying games on ebay, yeqah ill admit it was a stupid idea not to buy, since i love sega, but it had no power supply and one controller and no game that was supposed to be included, so yeah i was stupid as fuck

  • @TheGeekplayer

    Damn, you missed a great deal but I'm sure someone was really happy to find that!

  • @Obakedake aggreed, however i have a master system now thank you very much

  • 18 people had no childhood. :P

  • at 4:15 long live soviet russia! LOL

    im getting the original gameboy!!!

    i just want to go to a airport sit next to a kid playing his DS and see his reaction of me playing this XD

  • this gameboy runs on the ibm 8880 not the z80 the gameboy pocket ran on the z80

  • @GregTheCreator The GBC and GBA will turn the basic 4 shades of grey into 4 basic colors also games in a black cartridge (like Zelda DX, Shadowgate) are built to take advantage of GBC colors but still work in the original.

  • @MN12BIRD Do you use Virtual Boy advance? If so, is it possible to play your original game boy games in color on it?

  • @MN12BIRD i was born in 91 and i once old one i think i owned the master system but i still own my pocket but my old brick gb was stolen in i think elementary school ironic that i was 5 n i get it stolen at school of all places

  • metroid was my fav on it plus a few others i still own but is personal

  • Im 30 and I had these games and remember all of this , I wish I never got rid of mine

  • i used to have one..but it got lost..i still have my gameboy color but its kinda beat up..and i dont have any games. :( i also have a old calculator from 1990 and it has z80 processor :P

    the good old days of playing under a lamp xD

  • i used to have one..but it got lost..i still have my gameboy color but its kinda beat up..and i dont have any games. :(

  • i'll buy it all for you for $35. you make 5 profit... ha ha

  • Love the communist flag in the background at 4:16

  • WOW $30 What a deal! Sweet

  • cn it play pokemon?

  • @bergersportboy2q

    Yea pokemon red and blue :D

  • i hate how nintendo ruined the whole game boy line with the nintendo DS i would much rather have more stuff like this!!

  • @WasteMyTimeMakinVids I know right!

  • @WasteMyTimeMakinVids 3DS is gonna have a GB and GBC virtual console! I hope super mario land is gonna be on it!

  • @WasteMyTimeMakinVids i know right

  • @WasteMyTimeMakinVids i liked the ds 'avoid the newer dsi xl as theres defective batches' but what ruined it for me was the lack of games you could already get cheaper on gameboy with the old 8 and 16 bit styles that made those games great. also the lack of gb/gbc support. its all about casual gaming and generic fps these days... screw the 3ds im replacing my stolen gba sp 'and needing to buy a ps2 because sony is too goddamn cheap to do a ps2 emulator on ps3 but somehow keep dev home crap'.

  • @WasteMyTimeMakinVids a psp sized touchscreen gb would have wiped the floor with the ds

  • im collectin gb games now i hav 6 so far XD

  • When you talked about the screen and lighting, I got a flashbacks from all those roadtrips as a kid, trying to play the gameboy at night, in the light of the occasional street lamp flashing by. I beat Wario Land that way. Compared to the stuff we have to today with lighting and clearness, that feat feels impossible today almost! We sure have come a long way, but.. I'd still say that the classic gameboy is the best handheld I've had.

  • @TanukiKGA Haha I had to do that with the first GBA. I would be in the back seat and wedge a small flashlight between the headrest and the rest of the front seat. Have it pointing downwards a little and try to play.

    Sorry if that doesn't make sense...

  • i got mine for $10.00!

  • your a very good guy who ever calls you fat there a bunch of faggots

  • yor theme song freaks me out

  • Which year is realesed battery pack for GB? I have Rechargable Battery Pack 2 for original GB and i dont know which year is realesed. And i can use GBA light on original GB. I have video for both battery pack 2 and the GBA light. Check it out. BTW great review as allways.

  • Hmmm. '89? I was playing gameboy at age 13 and i'm 44.

  • @jandasma Well you must have a time machine because that would mean you played Gameboy in 1979 witch is about 10 years before it came out!

  • @MN12BIRD lol, this guy is delusional. the system came out when i was 8 and it was 1989... lol.

  • @MN12BIRD 1979 is the year of the first portable game console! The Microvision

  • @MN12BIRD hahaha that was funny dude 

  • @MN12BIRD - Maybe he's getting confused with Game & Watch.

  • @MN12BIRD and @jandasma Infact, that was 6 years untill the NES came out.

  • @MN12BIRD or he played it after it came out cause he was too poor to afford it new lkol

  • @jandasma wtf dude everyone knows that the gameboy came out in 89

  • @jandasma i rember waiting in line in 1989 in a raidoshack for 8 hrs for one of theses

  • @jandasma he was probably playing that secret gameboy release, Pocket Pool!

  • @jandasma are you a numskull

  • i've got a red game boy

  • You mean "Gray Brick".

  • can you play the original gameboy cart into a gameboy color?

  • @RuNeSCaPeR133  yes.

  • I miss those days :(

  • wait soooo will it take gameboy color games?

  • @Kyuubi451 Well it won't take "for gameboy color only" games in the clear cases but the ones in black cases are usually for both. They just know when there in a color or an original and change the.. color!

  • what would you say would be the best games to get? i know its a matter of opinion but im just looking for suggestions.

  • @damasta67420 Super Mario Land 2 is one everyone loves.

  • @MN12BIRD awesome! i was thinking of getting that one and metroid 2. thanks for the reply

  • @year2kill06 it is my list jackass read before you respond idiot.

  • @year2kill06 And why did you attack my list then send me a friend request? wtf? are you like one of those people who suck up into big peoples asses?

  • i just got a brick boy in japan for 10 bones, with donkey kong and tetris for a buck each. i had a ds and a psp, and i didnt like em, but i cant out this down,. i dig your collection. in japan, you can find those old systems in the shop for 10-30 bucks. you dont have a super famicom do you? i saw like a stack of them for 20 each in fukuoka.

  • original marioland is alot better than the first.

  • cool video,i have trouble finding just the gameboy for under 30 dollars on ebay lol

  • I still have the original Game Boy I got in 1994. ^_^ And I tried it out, and it still works! The volume is so much louder than in the Game Boy Color. Too bad it's so hard to see anything! Either puke yellow green or puke black green.

  • i love the original gameboy! i ordered one yesterday

  • I have mario land 2 is awesome is a great game and very funny

  • I Got a Mint Oringal Clear Game Boy at Game Over! for $10.

  • hey where can i find the game boy that has the yellow and red button? i think it was red but yes. There is a original game boy that has a different color for the a and b button

  • is the intro song the SEGA CD theme ? ^^

  • hold on, i need to take a dump...

    ok Im done

  • i found a red original gameboy for just 2 euro lol :)

  • i had one of these man i love this gameboys...there where great ......

  • game boy is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wat are the chances of finding this nice piece of machinery

  • lol i got into my dads gameboy but it doesn't cut on even with batteries and it pisses me off. lol

  • question, im trying to decide between getting an original game boy and getting a game boy pocket, what do you prefer and i heard the original is better than the pocket???

  • @Don1Won123 Well I like the original just because it's the original BUT the pocket uses less batteries and has a clearer screen with a higher contrast that's easier to see. It does have a cheaper feel in my opinion, the smaller size isn't as comfortable to hold and the buttons don't feel quite as nice but I guess it's easier to play on with the better screen. So tough call! I say get an original eventually but for more use the pocket might be nicer because of the screen.

  • @MN12BIRD thanks, b/c i used to have both, back in the day, but got lossed over the years and want to get them back, including get all the games i want for my original gb collection. (nice video too, thumbs up)

  • @Don1Won123

    Get the classic and install a so called backlight mod (use youtube) wich makes your screen like the ds screen : D

    @MN12BIRD

    He uses more batteries but has a longer duration too!

  • What is your opinion on the Speial Edition Gae Boy's, or, "Play It Loud" as they call them.
