I Took My Old Handhelds Out Today

On 03/15/2014 at 06:00 PM by V4Viewtiful

Nintendo Gamboy Pocket, Color, Advance, Mircro and SP, Nintendo DS lite and 3DS.

I felt nostalgic so I just tried looking for my old stuff, the memories are quite vivid. At least the old ones the newer ones are hazy (an Indctment on alcoholism, to be sure), I'll get the Zelda 3DS XL one day, but I re-buy the original DS I traded in for the Lite.

One day, If I ever get the chance of if it's £20 and under, I'll buy a Gamboy. One of my Uni mates has one and he uses it to make music (yes, you can do that), If I ever get a place of m own (in this economy, not likely) I 'll put them all in a glass cabinet.

Well, that's it for now, I'm tired and Aliens is on.

This is V saying "Not the Face!"

I have all my handhelds in my GTA IV lockbox. I am missing a DS at this point. I gave the one that was in my possession to my nephew because those kids would put it to better use than me. Now they can play 3 player Mario kart.

Nice.

I gave my younger cuisine my Pocket when I got my Color, way back when I took it back around the time we both had an Advance.

Oh how I love the GBA Micro......it was so awesome. Pokemon and Fire Emblem and no one ever knew.

I wish I still had my SP, they were great. Main reason I have not upgraded my DS lite is for the backward compatabilty.

I used to play Pokemon Blue and some other games on what I think is actually my older brother's Gameboy, unless my parents bought one for me, too. I played Pokemon Pinball on Color, or maybe just that same Gameboy, since I don't even remember owning a Gameboy Color, having any other games made for it, and cannot find it anywhere if I did have it ... then again, I can't find my copy of Pokemon Blue either, although that may have been sold at a Garage Sale.

Otherwise, I own a purple GBA with GBA Link cables, a Gameboy Player that is on the bottom of my Gamecube, and a first-run grey DS. I'm jealous of your black-and-gold Zelda 3DS.

Sadly, I gave away my Gameboy SP because my parents wouldn't let me have two handhelds (I was going to get my PSP). Oh well, atleast I hope the guy I gave away my Gameboy is enjoying the console and still has it.

I just recently got a DS Lite again to play GBA games. I have a GBA SP but it's not the one with the better backlight and I just couldn't stand the dim screen of the regular one. So I got the DS Lite and it's fabulous for GBA games.

I kinda wish I still had my DS fat just to look at it and laugh.

My first handheld was my SP. I bought it when I had to go away for three weeks for a law enforcement class. I was jonesing for a gaming fix, and the SP had just come out. I later found an old Sega Game Gear at Goodwill for $10 with a case and four games. I got myself a DS Lite when I got a year-round job at the previous park that I worked at. That ended disasterously, but at least I still have my oh-so-pretty crimson and black DS Lite. Actually, I have all my old consoles and handhelds. A benefit of not having really gotten into gaming until I was out on my own, I guess.
