What I wish is that the N64 Transfer Pak would let one play GBC games on the TV, sort of like an updated Super Game Boy for N64.

They have those. At least for the press.

If you have Pokemon Stadium you can play the Pokemon games using the transfer pack. And they even have speed up options.

I think the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color games look too "contrasty" on the back/front lit screens. There's something about the reflective quality on the GBC that makes the older black/white and color games look better. So for the GB/GBC games, I prefer a GBC system.

I don't have any handhelds newer than my original Game Boy Color, so I use that for everything. The one and only problem I have with the GB is that the A is lower than the B. I'd rather have their direction reversed so that when I'm holding A to run I just have to dip my thumb a little to hit B.

Bought one of those Innovation Halo lights for my original GBA...

This is my conclusion:

It sucks donkey balls !!!

Do not ever buy this piece of shit. Colors are washed beyond belief and you can barely see the screen when it's lit. In fact, the screen itself is so thick -it's much thicker than the original screen- even with the halo light off you can barely see anything. Avoid like the plague. Simply put, this thing should've never even gone into production...

The Gameboy Player attachment for the Gamecube is the best way to play them. If we're talking on the go only, then I'd say the GBA-SP, thanks to that awesome backlit screen.

I play most with my spongebob sp cause i like being able to snap it closed and not worry about scratches on the screen since it took me forever to find gb's that have mint screens :)
