WHY THE OLD GAMEBOY IS BETTER
Author: Bud Melvin
1. According to articles I have read in videogame magazines,
Original gameboy lasts 30–35 hours on 4 AA
Gameboy Color lasts 10–12 hours on 2 AA
Gameboy Advance lasts 15 hours on 2 AA
Gameboy Pocket lasts 2–3 hours on 2 AAA
Advantage – Original.
2. Everyone agrees sound is better on gray one. No modification necessary!
3. Old gameboys are cheaper! I bought mine from an online store for $15. (I don’t remember where). They are on Ebay all the time. Thrift stores, rummage sales. Think of it as an old car. Which would make you more paranoid, driving a crappy 1970s Lincoln, or a shiny 90s Mercedes? I can scratch my screen up, drop it, spill drinks on it, and I don’t feel too bad.
4. Original is bigger and heavier! If you are trapped with only the gameboy as your weapon, which would you rather have. Crappy thin 6oz color model, or big thick 2lb model?
5. Finally, which better shows the world what a freak you are? I think original. I see a lot of people looking at me on the train, frankly a bit frightened. I think most adults must feel bad for the crazy old guy with no friends who has only an old videogame from his childhood to keep him company :) And kids just think you’re an idiot for having such an old crappy system.
