Wait you can use Google Assistant to make calls? I just use it to filter out spam calls without answering.

Maybe 5 or 6 hours total? One hour was just trying to beat thee Wario level over and over.

Yep I have a flashcart. I'll def give it a look before I start Red version!

Oh it's night and day. It's really made me appreciate the DMG library. It has a dot matrix mode that emulates the grid of the OEM screen. I flip back and forth from time to time.

Never knew about this! My copy must be a 1.0 or a 1.1, I was able to explore the memory/ROM :)

Played yellow when I was younger, never got around to blue or red. Added to the list :)

Haha yes definitely not original. I put an IPS screen in it over Christmas. Gave me the push I needed to revisit the GB library on semi-official hardware.

Funny you say that, I took a break from Link's Awakening to play Super Mario Land 2. Trying my hardest not to use a walkthrough but some of the late game dungeons are pretty tough compared to LTTP.

Wasn't Yoshis Island the sequel to the original Super Mario World on the SNES?

 

This game came with my hand-me-down DMG I got for my birthday back in 2001. Thankfully I never made it to the final level back then, pretty sure I would've tossed the game out the window after losing 50+ lives. Looking for what I should play next, recommendations welcome :)
