I just bought a second hand Gameboy Color + GB Pocket + AC Power Adapter + Memory Cartridge + 11 GB games for $60. Think it's worth it?

I was originally planning to get a DS but I changed my mind since for the price of a DS + 1 game I could get the GBC+GBP set above as well as a second hand 6600GT.
 
Well, yes and no.

$60 dollars is cheap, but gameboys are kinda obsolete now. IMO.

true, but the money that I save could be used for a new gfx card :)
 
Then it was worth it.

want a pat on the back?
 
You coulda bought my gameboy advance...I'm tryin to find somebody to buy it!
 
depends on the games but it seems like that was too much to spend to me.
 
i dont see how people can play those old things anymore

Three of them were pokemon, to be precise.

I have a gameboy emulator and have some 30-something games to play on the pc.... 5 or 6 of them are pokemon.

only if one of the games was pokemon!!1111

Hey, Pokemon was a great RPG. They took the series too far and overmilked its success, but nontheless, the orignals were great RPGs on their own.

why dont you just emulated 'em =\

The point of a gameboy is you can play the games on the move, or on the loo, or while laying in bed :)

Also, emulators a never as fun as the real thing, not by a long shot.

Agreed. I've played plenty of emulated games and they're nowhere near as fun as the originals.
 
You can play gameboy games on your DS.... how stupid can you be?
 
...uh, i don't think you can... DS cartriges are TINY...

Although i do think the DS was more worth it. Especially with all the whack jap games out there... ahh....

I just wish SquareEnix could release an FF game for the DS. Then all would be well.
 
The games look pirated though, and the GBC can't save. hmmm...

Edit: Well they dont just look pirated, they ARE.

Lol, the DS has an extra port for GBA games.
