That should have never been made.

I agree, that is blasphemy, pure blasphemy.

I bet you could use a super gameboy on there and play all the gb/gbc games too!

Just dusted off my Super Gameboy, it has a tighter fit due to the extruding lip under the gameboy cart slot, but yes, yes you can play Gameboy Games on it as well.

Oh, what are your impressions of the Supaboy? I was kinda thinking of picking one up eventually.

So far I like it, only unboxed it about 30 minutes before posting.  As most have pointed out the speakers do have a small hiss sound, after playing for awhile I can see this becoming annoying. Nice clean sharp screen image and TV out.  The size is almost laughable, but in a good humor way (but super lightweight).  I can just image shortly after take-off on a long flight seeing the kids breaking out the 3DSs, PSPs, iPhones, and then me digging out this honking SNES player 

I like that it plays SNES, SFC, and with an adapter (@ about $20) NES and Sega carts.

Sometimes I ask myself if I have done all I could for my son, have I been a good Father, a role model...  Have I passed on to him what the important things are in life....  I think I can say yes after today.

After unboxing our most recent little toy, he asked if he could try it out to make sure it worked.  A warmth filled my soul when the first cart he grabbed was Zelda!  Oh my Boy....

I couldn't decide if this should be posted here in the "Recently Added To Collection" thread or hidden deep in the recesses of the "Worst Pickup" thread.  But in light of the 30 year anniversary, the historical account of bringing down the gaming industry in the 80's, and because I am looking forward to the AVGN movie, I decided to proudly display my most recent purchase.  (BTW, it's ok to wince, I know you all want to).



I snagged this little gem this week, it is factory sealed (and seeing no reason to ever actually want to relive a childhood nightmare by playing, it shall remain sealed) and even still has the hang tab attached.  Now I just ned to track down James Rolfe and see if I can get a signature added to commemorate his upcoming movie!

Eventhough I am still a subscriber (well at least until December), I admit the excitement vanished a few years ago at the sight of a new issue. Not just for me, but my 13 year old son as well. However, the recent issues at least gave me the chance to dig out the old issues and relive my younger days with my son by showing him the actual articles discussed in "Warp Zone" from 10 and 20 years ago.

Good news is the completionist in me can say Ohhh thank God I don't need to get another book case!
