[zmbfan]

Gameboy pocket

 

[RageBurner]

Game Gear!
I still love how bleeding edge it was.

 

[Waffles]

The Gameboy Pocket.

I bought it for $50, plus a game.

 

[MrWrighty]

PSP my beloved

 

[rudiphel]

classic classic gameboy. the standar 4 AA battery set. i had a atari 2600 and had the chance to have a famicom family (latam stuff version) and went to the gb. never regreted

 

[Skeetos]

Yellow Game Boy Color. I miss that thing. I had Super Mario Land 1 and 2, Wario Land 1, Dragon Warrior: Monsters, and a couple others I forget. I miss when handhelds were prominent and were different because of low end hardware. The Switch and Steam Deck are sick but will never hit the highs that the old generation of handhelds did.

If you don't include those crappy Tiger games in the 90's, I'd say my first was the classic Gameboy. I also got the Game Gear but the battery life was so terrible I could only play it using the A/C cable when I was home.

 

[Boscobilly]

The original DMG Game Boy.

 

[nachito]

Something like this.

But my first "real" console was a psp 1000.

 

[Stingy Perry]

A second hand jailbroken PSP 1000 a good friend of mine sold it to me at 30% of it’s original price he said he bought a Vita to mod.

 

[thanonyx]

A Game Gear but it was technically my Aunt's.

The first handheld I ever got that was just for me was a light blue Game Boy Pocket.

Aaaaaaaaand I lost it.

 

[Hikari.EXE]

Nintendo DS Lite. The black one.

 

[Cu-Neo]

A Nintendo DS XL the red one and I still have it, but I don't use it, Mostly because I use the Vita

i had one of those but it was shaped like a starship (sadly couldn't find an image like that and it broke it a long time ago)

But mine was a Nintendo DS Lite. The blue one but the hinge broke soo my dad replaced it with a dragon ball z shell (i wasn't a big fan of Dragon ball but it looked cool af)

Wow damn! I wish I knew how to replace the shell for some custom made 3DS (I mean I know how to, but it's a pain in the ass)

gameboy pocket. first game that i had for it was super mario land. still have the handheld. i don't think it works anymore.

Oh I have the triscrew head to open it, I'm just really carefull as to not move anything that might not move back into place lol. Honestly the shell is still fine, chipped in the corner due to hand moisture, what's really fucked is the camera, that I had to open and remove due to being damaged. I can't play Denpaman because of it...

 

[Julian_L]

I had three variants (= different games) of the Brick Game. Only those.
