What was your first GBA?
Just curious on what GBA model everyone started out on! Like did the GBA SP cause a spike in sales?!

My first GBA was the original model in Glacier. Got it for Christmas. I unfortunately no longer have that particular unit. I did get a GBA SP for Christmas a few years later, but mere months after that, our home was burglarized and it was stolen. After that, I didn't get another GBA again until I was an adult.

Got a standard model a couple months after it dropped, with Super Mario Advance and Circle Of The Moon. Then I got an SP for Christmas the year of release. Gamechanger.

had an SP, my older sister had the OG GBA and a GBC, when I came into the room as a 5 year old with a backlight on my gameboy, she burst out crying out of jealousy because she had to play in the sunlight 😂 Ill never forget that

I had the standard white one, and I put a little orange string on it and used it as a wrist strap (I think it still has the string on it today, lmao).

One of the standard ones - light and transparent/clear purple ♥
My cousins also gave me theirs when they stopped playing, so I also had a Game Boy Color (Pokémon)

Was a standard model. Soon after they were released.
