Im eying another GB that has some great games with it. I made a deal with the guy already, only have to pay ❤️

$45 for that Genesis GB cart but suddenly down the funds to get it. :'( Hope preorders last at least a week.

Edit- Got it preordered!

Which game should I sell?

[Nintex]

Depends on what people offer.

A pristine version of Links Awakening GB goes for 200 Euro easily. That booklet looks pretty beat up and probably decreases the value. Overall it's an expensive item especially if it still works.
Minish Cap is quite expensive and rare too depending on the condition. The box looks a bit beat up but not too bad. Boxed should be worth something between 100 - 150 Euro at a minimum I think.
Although I have seen those being sold for less but also empty boxes for more. 

Not sure how I feel about selling at this time. Value could still increase or demand could dry up.

Received a new batch of games with a Gameboy I bought. Dont really need the DMG but wanted the games.

For 60€

Super Mario Land
Shadow Warriors (Ninja Gaiden)
Bionic Commando
Darkwing Duck
TNMT: Fall of the Foot Clan
Kid Icarus

Also got a great carry pouch where all the stuff came in. It also comes with a Nuby Power Pak 😱

Originally developed by Affinix Software from 1999 to 2001 towards the end of the Game Boy Color’s retail lifespan, the shift in the market towards the Game Boy Advance (released in 2001) resulted in publishing struggles for the game. As a result, the original Affinix team went their separate ways, leaving Infinity a what-if that was formally cancelled in 2002. Yet, 15 years later, following repeated interest in what was seen as one of the last Game Boy Color games, an unfinished version of Infnity was released as a free ROM in 2016.

Now, for the 20th anniversary of Infinity, we have assembled a team consisting of both Affinix originals and fresh faces to finally complete Infinity and give it the physical cartridge release for the Game Boy Color that it always deserved! If you are interested in helping to finally make Infinity a reality, please subscribe to our newsletter to receive updates and exclusive news concerning our upcoming summer kickstarter campaign, and to get an exclusive medley of Infinity’s soundtrack!

Looks amazing.

Recently got a great deal on a mint condition, cib Rolan's Curse... I played through the second a few weeks ago so it'll be cool to go for the first.

Has anyone ever played Knight Quest? One of the most obscure English-released RPGs I can think of. I remember having it as a little kid, it's got 1v1 turn based battles and is rather simplistic... I've never heard anyone talk about it.

Never heard of those games, they look interesting though.

Don't really expect too much out of Rolan's Curse, it's like a slower moving, much more linear and less puzzly take on Zelda, with a cool character-changing feature (different characters have different attacks/magic). Still enjoyable enough.

Nintendo Page Boy, a lost Game Boy Color add-on, is revealed after over 20 years

You could almost send emails and selfies to your friends, while surfing the web, on a Game Boy Color.
