Great for Retro Gamers

If you're a big retro gamer, or if you have some old GameBoy games that you want to play, then you definitely want to check the Super GameBoy out. Not only does it play all original GameBoy games, it adds color to them! You can choose between the default color scheme or your own - you can pick four colors to use to color the game! It has several good-looking borders that you can choose from, or you can draw your own with a built-in border drawing tool. And because it plays on Super Nintendo, you get to play these games with the highly-acclaimed Super Nintendo controller! The Super GameBoy does have a few minor flaws. For one thing, it plays games only in about 75% of your screen. This isn't too big of a problem, especially because you can choose (or make) a border to fill up the rest of the screen. The only other flaw is that it can't play GameBoy Color games (the ones with clear cartridges). However, this is hardly a flaw at all, especially because the Game Boy Color showed up many YEARS after this did. Just be aware that this thing only plays games that will work on the original GameBoy, so if you want to play GameBoy Color games and don't care about nostalgia, then you might want to check out the GameCube's GameBoy Player. These are my only two complaints with the thing. Other than that, it's great. Its ability to play your cherished GameBoy games in color on the big screen of your TV combined with its highly customizable options makes the Super GameBoy a winner, and for those looking for a blast from the past and some good GameBoy fun, look no further!
