Kyomi-Okami Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 my iphone case is a purple gameboy cover in homage to my old one, which was why i started playing games i feel old for having that on my phone though now. "it's kind of a piece of junk" .... i have worked with kids before.. and i have never wanted to drop kick a kid more I kind of get where they are coming from though.. when my mum showed me an Atari for the first time I laughed for about a week.don't show them kids a Sega Megadrive i don't think my heart could take it . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEye420 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) its only idiots that would think a piece of gaming history is junk Only an idiot would call someone else an idiot for having a different opinion and then do it all with the grammatical level of a 2nd grader. You are blinded by nostalgia. This machine WAS a piece of junk and just because you loved it doesn't change that. The video itself points out several flaws. Stop being a child yourself. Some people liked the GameBoy some people didn't. Overall it WAS piece of junk. It wasn't even the most impressive handheld of its time. It was simply extremely popular. The Virtual Boy was also a piece of gaming history. Funny enough darkscoprion you seem to enjoy running around this website acting like a child. It's far from the first time I've seen you act like a petulant brat and I've only been on this site for like 3 weeks. lol Edited July 7, 2014 by RedEye420 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeiFangFan85 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I just want to take these children and slam them through a wall repeatedly until they're officially dead. How dare they slam an iconic gaming handheld that was revolutionary for its time. It's bad enough that they grew up in the wrong era of gaming in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wdjat Prinny Doods Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Not surprised by the reactions and some of the kids did make me laugh. They didnt have to tear the gameboy a new one like that though Cant really disagree with them about the battery though. On the video it said the gameboy could last 10-15 hours but I dont remember it lasting that long. I swear my gameboy ate up batteries like it was an all you could eat buffet doods.

Trini Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 You can't really knock these kids for giving their own personal opinion on it, they're growing up in a generation where technology is at its finest so of course they would think that the gameboy is abit distasteful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKSCORPONOXR Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) the gameboy is the greatest sellin handheld device ever... enough said really it might be old, it might be dated and it might not have all the latest features but for its era it kicked butt... nothin since has emulated that Edited July 7, 2014 by DARKSCORPONOXR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowIPendragon Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 It wasn't even the most impressive handheld of its time. It was simply extremely popular. Depends on what you deem to be impressive. The Sega Game Gear had specs that trumped it in some aspects, but the Gameboy had way more (and way better/more memorable) games. Not unlike the DS and the 3DS. Inferior hardware but better games. It might be junk now but at the time ('89) it most definitely was not junk the gameboy is the greatest sellin handheld device ever... enough said really After the DS that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadiochao Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 the gameboy is the greatest sellin handheld device ever... enough said really The DS actually outsold it by quite a significant amount. However, I wouldn't be surprised if kids looked at the original DS in the same way, too. These kids never experienced the era the Game Boy is from, so it's understandable that they can only see it objectively as outdated technology. Some of them actually acknowledged that it must've been good for its time, but that's just not the case now. They have long since become junk whether you like it or not and no amount of nostalgia will change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffle-Sensei Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Their opinions are fair, since they grew up with more advanced technology. It really does hurt to hear them say these things though. I have tons of memories with the Game Boy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm shocked about their opinions but guessing some of them where born after the gameboy advance/sp era like you said, it's quite understandable.

LeiFangFan85 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Alleyway was the first video game I've played since my brothers around the same time bought the Gameboy at launch. Not to mention the Gameboy, this year, celebrated its 25th anniversary. So there's some interesting facts about me and the Gameboy, in general.

Swar00 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) You can't be surprised at the children's responses to the Game Boy. They grew up where small mobile apps and high tech gaming consoles are the norm for them. Even though the original Game Boy was heavy, bulky, and two toned color screen, it had to start somewhere to establish the industry. Without the Game Boy, the portable gaming industry would be dramatically different today. Edited July 8, 2014 by Swar00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonofifa Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 And it is compared to modern game systems, no games on gameboy can compare to the games on the Nintendo DS and Playstation Vita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hong_Kong_Hermit Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 The original GameBoy is a piece of junk, when looked at with fresh eyes. It's chunky, heavy, has only two buttons, a tiny dot matrix screen with no backlight, and mostly terrible games. Doesn't matter about the history of the device, all the kids are judging it on is its value as a gaming device right now. Fact is you can get a thousand iPhone games with higher production values than the average GameBoy game, and all for a dollar apiece. Or less. Note: I still feel that GB Tetris was the definitive version of the game, and that is part of my own affection for that handheld, but anyone that thinks the device has any cachet 25 years on is blinded by nostalgia.

Fierce_DeityX1 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) one girl in the end said,"imna go play my ipad" and she is like 8, i got a ipad 3 on christmas and im much older (and upper middle class) kids are really spoiled these days. back to the topic, i remember we had a gameboy (even though the gameboy sp was already out) i soent hours on it, it was a great system. Its a disappointment that kids dont understand how the gameboy created mobile gaming (except for that one kid, who was awesome.) only reason kids hate it is because they're on COD all the time this post, is the most truthfull post on the internet Edited July 11, 2014 by Fierce_DeityX1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedAutumn44 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The first game I can remember playing was when my cousin got a ZX81. Man I would love to see the kids of today's reaction after playing one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
