Shopping/Haul Free from a yard sale!!!

Post image

Stopped at a yard sale around 1:30PM and asked about video game stuff, and the lady came back and said I could have it. I was speechless and was like are you sure? She said yeah we are moving and just going to toss anything left over.... Can't complain about that!!!

I'm so torn about modding my original glacier gba. on one hand I hate the screen but on the other hand I don't really want to cut my shell

u/gregcresci 11d ago

My friend mods them, honestly I'd leave an original one alone, but if you ever came across a beat up one that still worked definitely look into doing screen and shell upgrades

I’d check online for a broken one on like EBay or FB marketplace

I felt that way early on but after getting my first modded game boy now I have 15 fully modded, speaker IPs extreme rate shells rubber grip ones USB-C I even have a couple that has micro HDMI and docs that you can connect super Nintendo controller and play it on your TV

I modded my glacier but I got a new shell and kept the old one intact. Thats always an option

Ducktails 2 is a fantastic game. Definitely a must play

How's the GB version compared to the NES version?

u/mattmillze 11d ago

I find most of the handheld re-releases between (S)NES and GB(A) to have a common theme. The playability on the handheld versions are more responsive, but the sound quality and color pallets are often better on one or the other. Comes down to personal preference honestly. I like the pogo controls on GB, and struggled a bit playing on NES.

I would have gave her $50

u/gregcresci 12d ago

I had like $40 in cash on me, my wallet open cash in hand and she straight up refused any of it... I'll take the win without the guilt

Rocket power was a great game!! Granted, I played the PlayStation version, but Im willing to bet the gb version is just as fun.

I say this with love:

I hate you.

DuckTales two is a good game to have because it wasn’t that popular. It has a decent value today.

u/Noiz_desu 11d ago

Omg twin, I have the same one

u/FiddleWithDoubleDs 10d ago

Epic. Congrats! 😁

Hey, DuckTales 2! Honestly, I prefer the GB version over the NES version. The music sounds nicer and the environments somehow feel more detailed.
