It's a good watch.

I didn't know about the Zelda theme that plays at the beginning of Ocarina of Time till now, for example.

Also, video is 25:44 in case you want to invest; I used the picture-in-picture option to switch tabs while watching it.

I bought the game on eBay and have been playing it on my newly modded Gameboy Advance. IPS screen, new case & buttons. It's very nice; I'll post a picture later.

It's not explained too well on what's best to battle with. How do I know when to use an electric vs. fire without trial and error? Or is that the point?

I wonder how people figured this out before the internet was so huge.

I'm struggling to stay interested in the game. I couldn't quite figure out the purpose until later in the game... got to catch them all. But catching them all is just kinda boring to do. Maybe it's because I'm 37 and not 12 haha.

I bought these mod kits to replace the screens and cases for my GB and GBA.

• Retro Pixel IPS LCD for Game Boy Pocket
• IPS Laminated 3.0 LCD (with text) for Game Boy Advance

I already have a GB; however, I ordered a GBA on eBay with some games that will arrive next week. I plan to mod that one when it arrives.

I want a backlit screen; however, I tried to use the Everdrive GB x7 and noticed huge drops in contrast. Like the system cannot handle the extra voltage needed by the device. I'm concerned I'll have this problem with the screen swap.

I've been looking for a GameBoy game box to print with my 3D Printer. I've not found anything I like so far.

Do any of you know of a good case to store games? Are any of you looking for the same thing?

I'm thinking about designing it and giving the design away for free on printables or something.

I didn't have a Gameboy until I was... too late.

Are the original Pokemon games worth visiting for the first time? I know there is some nostalgic reasoning to play them, but should I try it as someone who hasn't ever played one?

Have any of you done this?

What game(s) are you playing now? What are you playing on?

I have a couple of handheld emulators I typically use or my SteamDeck. I prefer to the miyoo mini+.

I've been playing a lot of NES Tetris as of late.

I stumbled upon this page and thought I should share. It's really cool seeing a page like this still up and running, albeit frozen.
