Anyone else still play on Gameboy Color?

[PokeTown]

I'm proud to say that I own a working Gameboy Color. I only currently have one game for it. I got it from a shop that sells older games consoles, both handheld and those that have wires to plug into the TV. I have Pokemon Blue. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else owns this handheld console and if you do what games do you have for it? Any recommendations for other games for this console?

I still play on a Game Boy Pocket myself. I own an original Game Boy (with the four AA batteries) and a GBC. For games I have PLENTY of recommendations. Ready?

I don't play my GameBoy Color anymore, but I do sometimes play a GBC game or two on my GBA SP. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is one game I love going back to from time to time. So much nostalgia.

Sadly I don't own one anymore, but yeah had some rad times with Wario Land 3 back in the days aha. I do have it on my 3ds vc though.

I used to own one but it went missing. The oldest handheld I have atm is an SP.

My 3DS is essentially one of Game Boy/Game Boy Color machine xD 95% of the software I have on it is VC (the rest being Crimson Shroud and the Ace Attorney games).

Damn, I so need to get more VC games man.

Also Pong for the GBC is really neat too, one of first games I had for it.

I didn't even know Pong was on the GBC lol. I wish Nintendo would've added several more VC titles to the 3DS. Especially the Super Nintendo library (traded up to a New 3DS XL in 2016).

I still own my Gameboy Color, I think it went to storage. It still works, last time I checked. But it got so much play back in the day thanks to Pokemon that it is undoubtedly a little worn down. It's even one of the Special Pikachu edition GBCs.

However, once the GBA SP came out, there was no looking back to me for handhelds without a lit screen. Handhelds without a lit screen are an inconvenience I can't bear to return to. lol

Lately I have been urging to look for my purple GBC and play some Pokemon Yellow... and maybe the Dragon Warrior Monsters game. All I remember is to stay away from the Rugrats in Time game and Simpsons Night of the Living Treehouse game that I bought back in the day. lol

Same, those GBC nights were a pain lol.

But yeah there was a Pong for GBC, I remember it being enjoyable back then aha.

I'll play gbc games sometimes, but not a gbc

 

[Midoriya]

I have a GBC, but it doesn’t work anymore unfortunately, lmao. It’s kind of just an old gift from a cousin at this point that I’ll treasure forever.

 

[AccfSally]

I have no clue what happened to mines, it just disappeared one day.

I still have my Gameboy Advance SP, which fell in a sink full of water...but it still works.

 

[TykiButterfree]

I have a pink one, but then my favorite color changed to purple and I didn't like it any more. I fixed it be painting pictures of Pok?mon on it. It still works, but I haven't played it in a while.

 

[vinesse]

I'm pretty sure that my GBC has been lost to time and the cracks in my parents house, but I do still have my Legend of Zelda GBA that I occasionally pick up to play through the original Ruby game.

I owned a Game Boy Color when I was younger and it is probably still around somewhere, but I don't know where it would be and I don't think I'd really want to bother playing it at this point if I did find it. The only things I really played on the Game Boy were old Pokemon games and apparently the batteries would wear out in those games and delete your saves, so I'm not entirely sure that there's even anything to go back to at this point.

I usually utilize the Virtual Console to play that era of games these days. Simpler to just download the games from the eShop than track down cartridges and whatnot.

I don't own a Gameboy Color but even if I would have one, I guess I wouldn't play with
it that much. Guess it would be fun to play here and there some of the old games, but
I wouldn't spend hours over hours on them. My interest isn't that big enough at that
point to be honest...

 

[Rite of Spring]

I have a yellow GBC which I just ordered some games for! I don't play it a lot due to hardly being able to see it, but I remember really enjoying the Mario port and Kirby's Pinball Land. I'm waiting for a Japanese copy of Pok?mon Crystal to ship. I've also ordered a few bootleg Pok?mon games because I find them hilarious.

 

[Seastar]

I don't have a Gameboy Color, but I do have a Gameboy Advance SP.

Sadly, my only GBC game, Zelda Oracle of Seasons, has died on me. Based on what I read online, changing the battery isn't going to fix mine.
I've been meaning to buy it on the 3DS eShop, but I have too many other priorities.

I do have these regular Gameboy games, though:
Pokemon Red
Pokemon Yellow (Plays as a GBC game, though)
Kirby's Dream Land
Kirby's Pinball Land
Doctor Mario
Tetris

Not sure if this counts but I also have Pokemon Silver on 3DS virtual console.
