100 sats \ 4 replies \ @gnilma 18 Jun \ on: Wario Land 3 for Game Boy Color gaming
Are you playing on an actual GB Color or on an emulator?
I never own a GB nor a GB Color. I played on the SNES then switched over to PC. But my little brother had a GB Color and he had A Link to the Past on it. I used to steal the GB Color from him so that I could play A Link to the Past on the go. I think it's one of the best Zelda games ever, and to be able to play it on the go was amazing! Too bad he misplaced and lost his GB Color when we moved.

I play on a modern recreation of a game boy color - ModRetro made a handheld that plays the old cartridges (and new ones), but the device has a scratch resistant screen, metal body, modern screen brightness. It’s on the pricey side but I like cartridges.

Nice! I guess new cartridges are made by hobbyists? I still have my collection of SNES cartridges that I play on my old SNES from time to time. But I spend most of my gaming time on the PC and also the Switch 2 nowadays.

Some of the new carts are from independent hobbyists. Quite a few are from small retro gaming studios.
For whatever reason I prefer the small, dedicated device and the scarcity of cartridges. I’m also the kind of person that prefers physical books.

Speaking of books, my family is all about physical books. We have probably 2000 or more books in our home. I keep buying and building bookshelves, and the bookshelves keep getting filled up, it's quite amazing.
