Sp brighter screen. I didn't own it, but played one at a display and was blown away! It looks sooooooo good compared to the old SP.

Gameboy color is my fav. because it was my first gameboy, the butons seemed persfect, the games were great, and even the screen was good. I can barely see the difference between the GBC screen and the GBA screen, i can't asy anything about the gameboy micro because i haven't played it.

i must say, though ive never used one

GB Light seems like the taker, because the pocket just rocked, and i could only imagine it with a light...

I'm only saying the Gb Micro because of this one:

Find the deluxe package with GBA micro, mother 3, and the franklin badge. (now If only I knew japaneese..)

Well bg pocket was my first true game experince, its what got me hocked.

It's hard to choose. The original is a comfortable size, and it makes a great case when the electronics bite the dust. However its screen is that ugly olive green and it's passive matrix, which gets blurry. The pocket is smaller and the screen is better, but I wasn't the most thrilled with it. (Never played a GBL, but it looks basically the same as the Pocket, save for the light.) GBC introduced color, it ran on AAs, and it ran basically every previous game without problems. GBA original was really comfortable to play, but as we all know the screen is a bugger sometimes. I never liked the SP very much, not just because the screen uses a milky light that washes the image out, but because I find it cramped to play. The screen on the SP BS nice name, Luc! lol is much brighter, and it is a true backlight as far as I can tell, but again it uses the small case I find uncomfortable. From the looks of the Micro, I'd say it is like playing games on a Tic Tac box. It's just too small. I suppose it would be good for kids or people with small hands, but it's too tiny for my tastes. (I can hit Left Ctrl-P with one hand. Probably nothing impressive, but hey I can!)

I vote GBC.

heh, anyone can, just use the ctrl key on the left

...ah, I'm just messing with you, I know you mean the left one (I hope). I can do it, too, (not because of big hands...but I can stretch my hand out that far, from practicing piano

).

GameBoy Color is my vote - it was the best and improvement made in the line. Better shape, and gasp! Color! It was also the first game system that I ever personally bought.

Gameboy Color. My first Gameboy. I had the atomic purple (see-through) and i got Pokemon Yellow with it. You couldn't stop me from playing it. It was great! I did end up selling it tho...

Definitely Game Boy Color. I had many hours put on that machine, I hope Sir Games-A-Lot gets the same good out of it as I did.

I can reach Ctrl-P too

Either bic has small hands for his age or I have big hands.

I voted for the GBO because c'mon it beat everything that stood against it.

But it's not the first Gameboy I owned that would be the GBC. It's the best of them because it was the first color Gameboy.

Ive never played a GBL, but it sounds awesome: the Gameboy Color system, minus the annoying wormlight!

Man if only I had known about this thing when I was younger.

GBA SP with better screen. I like the Game Boy Pocket clear too.

Post by **CronoTriggerfan** » Wed Apr 26, 2006 4:27 pm

I'd say it's a tie between the GBO and GB Pocket. GBO was my first gaming system ever. Before this, I had only played my friend's NES. Sadly, though, my childhood temper got the best of my GBO, and I got the limited edition GB Pocket, ice blue. T'was quite the sweet system, no? It's definitely a statement when the original Game Boy technology annihilates the Game Gear, Nomad, Lynx, etc. in the market even though it's EXTREMELY outmatched in quality. (Well, except battery life.)
