Found two old Nintendo Gameboys in the attic. So I bought a
new case from ebay. Time for repair and refurbish! There's a
hair dryer trick for repairing the lcd. Just ordered the
backlight mod from ebay.

Of the oldies I had the GB, GG, and Lynx (though that was
borrowed). I adored my GB, but secretly lusted over a turbo
grafx or whatever it was they were called. Import only.

Gameboy was wicked, simple graphics but maximum gameplay

you should get a game called monster max umbro, its like
knightlore but for the gameboy

I really wanted a lynx, still wouldn't mind one now, I had a
game gear which was decent but you could only ever really
play it plugged into the wall.

though Monster Max was ostensibly released in late 1994,
Titus was very slow in destributing it and copies of the
game could not be bought until December 1995. As a result,
sales for the game were poor.[2] Despite this, it received
extremely positive reviews.[2] UK's GB Action magazine gave
Monster Max a rating of 94%, while Super Gamer magazine
awarded it a rating of 96% under the tagline, "simply the
best Game Boy title ever".

I think its a failry rare game

Seems like a good thread to ask, has anyone used the cheaper
chinese knock of everdrive cartridges here? Thinking of
getting one for my megadrive

nice one, you should do capsule reviews on here of what you
play

lego drome racers
hotwheels stunt track challenge

both games have lush 3d graphics (for gba).
reminds me of atari st and amiga 3d graphics of a game like
hunter or 3d construction kit.

star x

reminds me of starwing/starfox on the snes. only with better
graphics and framerate.

iridion ii
shoot 'em up game with gorgeous graphics for gba.

Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed
Top gear rally
both games suffer graphically because they use textures
instead of flat shaded sprites.

super monkey ball jr
reminds me of an amiga/atari st attempt at graphics with
higher frame rate . good gameplay.
