**SOLD**: Game Boy Advance (White)

SOLD!!!

Another Game Boy unit up for sale! This is the Game Boy Advance in white. I can't remember when I bought this..possibly around '04? In any case, unlike the older Game Boy and Game Boy Color systems, the vast majority of GBAs were made in China.

The unit isn't in good condition, even though it works. There's some discoloration on the housing (e.g. above the screen), there's visible LCD bleed even when the unit is switched off, and the cartridge contacts are about as finicky as those on the Famicom / NES systems. All the buttons and switches work fine, and color rendering of games appear to be accurate.

Comes with the box set, as well as a padded carry pouch, clear purple plastic casing, white screen cover attachment (has its own white LED, powered with 1 AAA batt), bendable "snake" LED light attachment, and an original game cartridge of Lady Sia (English). 

p.s. I'm also giving 2 fl*sh carts for free with purchase of the GBA - one has Super Monaco GP2 (English), and the other has Kirby (English). These work on the GBA SP, and possibly the NDS or DS lite. The fl*sh kit for them is hidden somewhere and I'm trying to find it and test it. If that works, it'll be included for free in the bundle as well.

WTS: Game Boy "Play It Loud" (Red)

The majority knows of the original Game Boy from Nintendo. Its successor, the "Play It Loud" edition, is a series of Game Boy systems dressed in striking colors, but essentially the same thing. If you thought these gaudy looking machines were China-made clones (like I did!), well, they're not. 

Up for sale is the red Game Boy, bought in '95. The unit is in near-mint condition, except for lines on the underside of the screen's plastic cover. It isn't scratches although it's visible to the eye. I'm guessing it may be due to a warp / shrinkage of the cover's lamination. In any case, it doesn't affect the LCD screen in any way (no screen issues at all). No button or cartridge contact issues either. This machine's made in Japan so I'd expect it to last a good long time. The sound from the phones jack is simply awesome compared to the tinny onboard speakers - plug in a pair of good earbuds or headphones and give your ears a treat!

Comes with the box (note: no AC adapter included, just use AA batteries), Japanese manual, authentic game cartridges of Doraemon 2 (Japanese) and Looney Tunes (English), and one 3rd party game cartridge called "Super 32 in 1" (which has 15 different games, including Super Mario Land, with the other 17 games being repeats).

This Game Boy is a solid red brick that's far from being bricked, and is ideal as a collectors' gem for video game geeks, or for anyone who has a deep desire to show and share with the younger generations this grandfather of handheld gaming machines that thrived before they were born.
