Nintendo Gameboy (GB) Reviews

Ah the Nintendo Gameboy. I first got given one of these as a christmas pressie when I was 9 and I absolutely loved it! My mum had bought it second hand (they were very expensive to buy new at the time) and it came with 9 games, most of which I can't remember but I did have Tetris (excellent), Mario Land (excellent) and Bubble Bobble (rubbish!). I ...  Read the complete review

The original nintendo game boy revolutionised gaming as we know it. It was the first hand held console of its type and children and adults everywhere had it on their christmas list. The standard game that it came with was tetris, which was great fun and to this day people are still playing more modern versions on all sorts of gaming consoles ...  Read the complete review

I had the game boy ages ago, with the screen magnifier and light and a load of games. At the time is was worth quite a bit, but now not really worth much at all. It was a great size, with quite a good screen, altho it being black and white, it looked quite good and the screen can be adjusted with the brightness, altho it looked ...  Read the complete review

Note this review covers only the black and white Gameboy, now superceded by the Gameboy Advance system, but I think you'll learn a lot about the Gameboy itself and why it became so popular in the 1990's. The Nintendo Gameboy originally came out several years before it's 1989 us debut and Japanese debut in the same year. There ...  Read the complete review

Ever since the Pokemon craze exploded, PokeFans flocked to the stores and ordered Game Boys in mad mobs. The Game Boy was extremely handy...the colored ones were more pocket-sized then the gigantic black and white ones, and the cool covers of different exotic colors attracted the eyes of children as well. But since the Game Boy Advances have ...  Read the complete review

I feel like a veritable dinosaur in writing about this product. After all, this isn't the Game Boy Advance, it's not the rather older Game Boy "Color" (now, wasn't that a rip-off? You needed a SNES as well!), it's not even the (in itself virtually pensionable) "Pocket Game Boy". No, what we have here is the ...  Read the complete review

Okay, I have only recently started this but I shall start my review with something completely irellivant to the subject in question (The GameBoy Of course.): Here is the moment you've all be waiting for ( waiting for in fear that is): Muddy trousers. Now on to my review. Firstly, this is a review about the ORIGINAL game boy ...  Read the complete review

My mother In law bought my son (now 7 years old) a Gameboy colour when he was 5 years old. At the time I groaned inwardly thinking that it was not a 'good' toy for a 5 year old, albeit that he was already heavily into computers and was easily capable of playing with the games. I thought that it would do him no good whatsoever - ...  Read the complete review

Back 10 Years ============= When the Gameboy was first released it didn't really appeal to me because of my other consoles. I just saw it as a waste of £70 or however much it was. Most of my mates including my family bought a Gameboy so I did manage to tryout the experience. Even after I had tried it out I didn't have the urge ...  Read the complete review

I bought my Gameboy Colour last year, and wish i hadnt waited so long! Its the perfect way to pass some time - i use mine when travelling, and the range of games means there is something for everyone. Im a bit of an oldtimer (34!), and generally prefer the puzzle and sports games. Battery life is excellent, and the unit ...  Read the complete review

Hi people sorry to put this in the wrong subject but I got my hands on a japaness gameboy advance. The graphic are amazing I played mario and f-zero. I don't know if most you can remember nintendo old SNES but the games are exactly the same and the feel from the old colour gameboy is much better. You have the option to select wide screen or ...  Read the complete review

Mario Tennis Camelot have hit big with Mario Tennis they have taken the same roll as Mario Golf where there is a storyline and you have to train you and your partner. Its like in Pokemon where you get experience points and move them up levels. So you have to decide do you want to make your doubles partner good and you bad, or do you want ...  Read the complete review

Games consoles have an average lifespan of about five years, spending a year or so as jaw-dropping new technology, then going though a golden age, and finally becoming old and making way for more advanced systems. But the Game Boy has survived. Its games have been "retro" for several years and its technology is about the same as a ...  Read the complete review

I bought a Gameboy Colour and it's the best handheld console you can get! It is very small and fits perfectly in your hand or pocket. It only has 56 colours but for such a small console, this is quite good, as most have about 5. There is a directional button (up, right, down, left) and there are two action buttons on the right. (a and ...  Read the complete review

Gameboy is extremely successful to have survived to this day, seeing that it wasreleased about 10 years ago as the chunky white piece of plastic it was. There are many peripherals and games for it, seeing that it has a back catalogue spanning just over 10 years. Nintendo have definately kept it up to date with the ongoing advancement of ...  Read the complete review

The Game Boy Colour is excellent. It's major advantage over other console is that it is portable. This means you can play it just about anywhere. As well it is a good console with brilliant sound and graphics with a wide range of good quality titles. Some of it's best games are good brands such as Zelda and Pokemon, meaning it's ...  Read the complete review

I have always liked the idea of the gameboys as it does not need to be plugged into the TV, my sons are only three and four and all I've heard over the last few months is how they want a gameboy for christmas! I was a bit scepticle at first due to their age, but one day whilst I was up my horses stables another little boy gave my son ...  Read the complete review
