So long story, but I ordered a GameBoy Color game off Amazon and it just arrived today. So I popped it in and turned it on and goodness gracious me. I used to play on this? For multiple hours at a time? WITH NO BACK LIGHT?! How do I have any eyesight at all???? This screen is so absurdly tiny. A 2.32 inch display? Are you joking me? I got my GameBoy Color almost 17 years ago. I can't wait to see what gaming is like in 2034.
In the future everything will be chrome holograms. "I can't lieve I ev played a game in technicolor." Is what we will all say, but the term technicolor shall be replaced by the word "Biv" which is the last syllable of ROY G BIV as all words shall be one syllable in the future.
I had one of those squiggly lights you plugged into the side, and I want to say that helped? Eventually the neck and bulb both gave out, though, so not sure if you could find a working one today.
