I got my Micro just a few days ago. I only got it just to have it~ Here is a collection of all my portables. I pretty much wana collect all the major ones.. I'm missing Turbo Express, Linxx, Nomad, and the not so popular Wonderswan, gamepark.. I'm sure we've got lots of memories with these things, funny how the gameboy survived the test of time and is still huge today.

I've also got one Game&Watch, but I think it might have died, but I'm just hoping the battery is dead.

Software is what made the GB so successful. Didn't Tetris come with every GB early on? Or maybe it was just a bundle. But man, all you needed was Tetris and your set with GB!

You will NOT be able to spark up a conversation with this guy on a long flight. Unless he runs out of batteries, I guess.

Oh man, I'm jealous. That white one is sparkling good.
I still have most of my portables although the older ones haven't been turned on in ages.
Still have: Original Gameboy
Gameboy Pocket
Gameboy Advance with Afterburner installed
GBA SP
Sega Nomad
PSP
Nintendo DS

I guess I can get the NeoGeo Pocket but I have no use for it :lol:
