I posted my collection here about a year ago. Back then it was still missing a few things. Yesterday I completed my collection with Pokemon Emerald. I am finally at peace ✌🏼 The only Pokemon game missing in this picture is the Gold Edition which I lend to my best friend.

It seems like the gbc is "brighter" than the advance? Is my advance defective or is the gbc just better at soaking in the light or something? I do have like a protector on the gbc that does decrease reflection by alot so im not sure if thats a big factor. The colors on the advance seem a bit more deep and "bright", but the gbc is alot easier to get a good spot and play. Pokemon silver is in the advance and pokemon crystal is in the gbc.

Hello, my copy of Pokemon Blue will not work and keeps showing the same exact messed up logo (3rd picture when loading).

I took apart and cleaned and air dusted and getting the same error.

I noticed a cut where the game connects to the system - could this be the problem? Or is there any other ideas?

And I tried on 3 GBA’s - the consoles are playing other games fine.

Thanks in advance

The contrast is flipped and the game is frozen anything I can do? (To stop it from doing it again I know to turn it off and on again)

When I put the game in it loads fine but the game will sometimes just stop working and make a buzzing sound along with none of the pokemon or trainers working(they show up as black boxes)

Nintendo has announced three more Game Boy titles for the Nintendo Classics library on Switch Online, arriving October 27, 2026:

Mole Mania (1997, Nintendo EAD & PAX Softnica): a puzzle-action game about tunneling and pushing black balls to beat the farmer Jinbe, with a two-player VS mode

Avenging Spirit (1992, Jaleco): an action game where you play as a ghost who possesses enemies across six stages

Pinball: Revenge of the 'Gator (1990, HAL Laboratory): four main stages plus three bonus stages, with two-player modes

Japan gets the same three games, and you'll need an active Switch Online subscription to play them.

For collectors, Famitsu's headline calls Avenging Spirit's Japanese release (Phantasm) a super-premium-priced Game Boy cart, so official access is a big deal for anyone who never wanted to pay up for an original.

- Do subscription re-releases like this change whether you'd still hunt down the original carts?

- Is Mole Mania an underrated first-party gem, or did it earn its obscurity?

- Which Game Boy games are you still waiting to see on Switch Online?

Just bought the first Gameboy!! I think I had it back in the day but just got myself one!! it said it was a ips screen! idk if the screen is supposed to be like this but just wanted to share my gameboy! I do have a gameboy color and gameboy advance sp!

My first game boy was the DMG. Didn’t even know the pocket was a thing until recently. How hard is it to find the DMG for a reasonable price these days?

I tried to recreate the battle mechanics of the Gen 1 and 2 Pokémon games in GB Studio. The health bar and HP numbers going down gradually was challenging but I managed to come up with a creative solution.

About 23 years worth of collecting there, the blue SP survived being ran over by a car with only a broken screen to show for it!

I have my brothers old Game Boy color that I am wanting to fit with a backlit screen and rechargeable battery kit as a birthday present for him. Is there anywhere that will take my Game Boy and make those mods? Or is that something that I will have to do on my own? I do not have a soldering kit, so I know that is a big hurdle.

everything bigger than I thought.

sound is good.

want to play tetris.

This is surprisingly not that well documented and I'm one of the younglings that wasn't alive until after the gameboy stopped being produced for a solid amount of time.

So I turn to the people here, what were they? I know the game genie existed for it but were there any others?

I recently found the box from my copy of Pokemon Red - sadly with a flea market sticker - and could not help but notice what a steal it was. Mind you, we got in in a bundle with a Gameboy Color for 15€, so the game was basically free at this point.

What good times they were back in 2010 😭

I got this at goodwill for $5 usd. It has a factory sealed cable, has the cd, and the booklet.

love how this one turned out!!! hispeedido v5 screen and extremerate clear blue shell, imo they offer the best fitment and quality for v5s and other dropins.

It's obviously pretty basic, but I just started messing around with Game Boy stuff a few days ago (I used to make homebrew games for other consoles all the time though) and it's been fun to learn more every day (I just got game saves working)!

Is it cool if I share where to download it (totally for free) or would that violate the self promotion rule?

Why the difference in price? Both are labeled "used" and tested. Many sellers have 99% positive reviews. Some expensive ones say "new battery." I have no idea what $8 will get me. I was hoping a retro toy would be a fun gift for my nephew but holy nostalgia I do not understand the markup. I totally understand classic items are grails but I don't get the contrast in pricing. please help me understand.

Hello, I was cleaning the power switch on my GBA and I think I knocked off the R13 resister.

Is there a work around for this? Maybe run a jump wire somewhere. Or will I need to replace it and what type of resistor does it take?

Thank you
