Murag naa gihapon to siya collection... kay base pa sa description atong ebay nga lot kay ingon man pod siya naa siya several copies of each game. Iya lang gi choose the best copy for each para ibaligya kuyug sa lot. Most likely naa pa dagay to siya 2-3 full sets ato. Tag iya dagay jud to og mega huge nga game retail shop kay daghan kaayo siya stocks.

Man, when you guys mentioned "Gameboy" I suddenly remember my child memories. My older bros. used to have the Original 1989 Gameboy (I loved it) and played Super Mario Land, Warioland and Kirby. But then they sold it for basketball cards which was popular in the 90's (and both of them are HUGE NBA fans)
Eventually, my older bros. DID get something out of it-- one of them got a Michael Jordan College card (RARE) dunno how much it's worth now though but I'm guessing it's worth something at least.

I did mentioned in another thread that I don't dig handhelds but this is where my dislike of 'handheld' consoles stemmed, I guess. I was really attached with that Gameboy that until now I keep looking for it and I feel bummed out that it's gone every time I hear or even think about the "Gameboy". It's probably the only handheld I would buy in a heartbeat if I ever see one. So far, no dice looking in the Buy and Sell Section but I still believe I could get one somewhere. Manila's probably the best bet but I dunno. . .

Mao jud ni akong gi ganahan sa mga cartridges kay super durable. Unlike CDs karon gamay lang garas dedo na. By the way, unsa imong gamiton pang limpiyo sa mga cartridges sa famicom or snes bro x? Kahinumdum ko sa una katong bata pa ko kay alcohol ako gamiton. Pero i dry sag maayo before gamiton. Di lang ko sure if maayo ba to or dili kay pagkaguba sa akong bart vs the space mutants og star wars, maski unsaon nako og limpiyo di na jud siya madala. >.<

uu naai mga ingon ana bro. bsag unsaon og limpyo guba jud. heheh sayang kaau. mga tapes akong nalabay ana katong ninja turtles 2, GI atlantis factor, ninja ryukenden (gaiden) 2.. sayang jud kaau. pero pirated man pud toh hehe.

gamit nako is alchol sa cartridges og thinner for pcb sa console (not laquer ha).

Wow, I've actually only read about those in my old game magazines. That's pretty awesome, X.

By the way, Manila really is the place to go alright to find the only handheld I EVER loved--the 89' Gameboy: complete with box and it's crappy grey color (same one you got in that pic) I'm getting it this weekend along with an original MarioLand cartridge. Thank God, I got it for cheap (like 800 bucks with shipping and all) Apart from getting it JUST BECAUSE *tee-hee* I'm planning on modding it for musical purposes. Right now I'm on a hunt for a Nanoloop or LSDJ cartridge (another challenge!). Apart from being a gamer, I'm also a musician as well and I love experimenting because I'm actually a musician first and gamer second.
And the 1989 Gameboy will be the ONLY handheld I will own--I just have this significant attachment to it, can't really explain why. I just love the original Gameboy. I did own a Pocket GB once (in grade-school) in Green but I immediately sold it off years ago (around 1999) It's just not the same as the FAT one, that's all. hehehe

I plan on getting another one though--exact same one (with the icky-gray plastic and all), as well and leave it AS IS (all-original unmodded) just for kicks. And probably because I'm modding the other one. Who knows? Maybe I'll be lucky again??


Cheers.
