Does anyone still play Gameboy or Gameboy Color games?

I've been finding myself not playing them that much, heck with the DS, I don't even play the Advance games as much as I should. I still keep my GBA SP because there are a couple color games I may want to play, but other than R-Type and Moon Patrol, I can't think of any must have color game boy games off the top of my head. Tetris is still a favorite *Game Boy* though...

I had a gameboy emu on the DS (sold the DS), but even then I was more remembering them than actually playing them.

I very occasionally still play a gameboy game in a windows emulator, 5 out of 10 times it's "Batman - Return of the Joker".

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons is the only Gameboy Colour game I still love and play. Best GBC game ever.

I haven't played GBC games at least for five years. The latest game I played was Pokémon Blue with an emulator. It took me so long and got stuck, so I forgot about it. Nowadays I could easily continue, but I just don't mind.

Gameboy Color... hmmm... Tetris.
Gameboy Advance... hmmm... Tetris as well.
Nintendo DS... Tetris DS.

Pretty much if it has Tetris, I'll play it. So far, Tetris DS lasts the longest... with me going up to level 82 something...

It has the main theme. The rest of the songs are from Mario, Zelda and other old nintendo games.

I haven't put batteries in my game boy for close to a decade, however I cannot bring my self to selling the little handheld that could. Too many good memories.

Same here. I still have mine and I don't plan to sell it ever. Too many good memories of my first time being independent from a console that could only be played at home, and in front of a TV only. My liberation started the moment that I first got my old Gameboy and Kirby's Dreamland and Metroid 2. I was playing games while taking a dump, and when HFB. How ****ing awesome is that?

I actually played my original Gameboy as recent as a couple of weeks ago. Still works like a charm. Though, the screen is scratched as hell and it's very difficult to see the screen with the scratches. I remedy that by gently putting a small amount of vegetable oil onto a paper towel and then wipe the screen. The screen gets crystal clear for about 30 minutes to an hour which is a long enough time to beat King Dedede.

You always have a good premeditated response to every question from people who attempt to make you look like you are contradicting yourself or to catch you in a lie. Impressive. Impressive indeed.

You only have to premeditate if you expect people to catch you contradicting yourself. I do not have such expectations.
