preface
He promised his parents to go to bed early, but quietly hid in the bed, picked up a flashlight or a peripheral lamp, prepared the battery, adjusted the grayscale, and entered another game world. Perhaps the above description is the memory of many readers who were immersed in the GB generation when they picked up the lights and fought at night?
Unconsciously, GB has accompanied us for 25 years. GB is not a powerful console, its challengers are not many powerful opponents, but only GB can fascinate players around the world, and many of its valuable ideas are reflected in today's consoles.
Next, let's start with a happy mood, read the history of GB, and listen to the memories of GB told by all the editors and senior writers!
GB, full of childhood memories, has unconsciously accompanied us through 25 years
First, the innocence of the age
Author: Shi Yu; Favorite GB Game: Pokemon Gold
My association with GB was in elementary school. At that time, I was crazy about the animation of "Pokemon", and as a result, one day the little friend in the class brought a GB, and saw him demonstrating "Pokemon Green", and I was out of control since then.
When I got home, I begged my mother to give me pocket money and bought a screen with a line of the most original "big brick" GB. Now it seems that the yellow-green screen and the contrast adjustment setting that is always difficult to adjust to the most comfortable are so backward, but at the time it gave me an incomparable joyful childhood.
It is rare to have its own machine, then it must be a big play. At that time, "card replacement" was very popular in my hometown. That is to say, as long as you buy a cassette, you can estimate the price at the store and post money for a game.
Although if you think about it, these JSs made a lot of money by acting with almost no capital, but it did give us, the shy students, a lot of opportunities to experience the game.
I remember the first game I bought was Mega Man X, and despite many days and nights on GB, I still couldn't beat the game. Later, he returned to his own game "Pokemon series".
Collecting and challenging the dojo, I completed thousands of hours of feats under this small screen, from "Pokemon Green" to "Pokemon Gold", from the first town to the final challenge "Xiao Zhi", it recorded my most joyful game time.
Pokemon: Gold
Pokemon Gold is the game I've played the longest in the GB era, and if it weren't for the fact that the memory battery ran out of battery in the later stage, I guess I would still be racing in the game. Speaking of this game, there was also a widespread "copying" bug at that time, when I liked to copy several "learning devices" and "master balls", which was the only generation of Pokemon I was willing to use "master balls". [Laughs]
Speaking of Pokemon, it is necessary to mention the matter of online. At that time, it was not like there are portable online methods such as WIFI now, so it is necessary to buy a cable and connect the two hosts, which was still used until the GBA era.
Since many of my classmates bought GB or GBC under my leadership, when class or physical education class was over, several of our partners would get together to exchange Pokemon or engage in Pokemon battles (this habit was still kept until the PSP era, so I almost never took physical education class since I was a child, orz).
At that time, in order to gain an advantage in the battle, he also tested in advance what Pokemon the other party used, and quietly trained the Pokemon with restraint attributes in advance to deal with the Pokemon sent by his partner. It's just that now that I think about it, how far have the friends of the past been scattered?
Speaking of games, in addition to Pokemon, I also enjoyed playing Ranch Story on GB. Farming, buying, selling, shopping, festivals, etc., although the "Ranch Story" did not have many elements at that time, it was my favorite work in the series.
In order to be able to play for a long time, I also specially bought a small lamp that can be plugged into the machine, and hid in the bed at night to play quietly. My myopia now may be due to this little lamp. In addition, "Super Robot Wars" also opened my love for the "Machine Warfare" series, and I remember the first time I played nothing, and once did the classic deed of stuffing all the fuselage into the battleship and then the battleship was blown up.
Now, after many years, I have just finished fighting "Time Prison" and I have a feeling of crossing.
Unconsciously, we ushered in gb's 25th birthday. The days of holding the GB nest in the quilt seem to be the same as it happened yesterday. Thank you for GB's companionship all the way, thank you GB for bringing me enlightenment, for giving me such a perfect innocent generation.
GB, Happy Birthday!
Second, steal "brick" agents
Author: Porridge; Favorite GB Game: "Valio Continent"
I closed my eyes, tried to keep my breathing evenly, and raised my ears to listen to the movements of the next room. Separated by a closed thick wooden door and a thick wall, many movements seem blurry, but mom likes to scatter her usual things in several bags, so every time she has to go out before going out, she always needs to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find her things that she has messed up.
After half a day of commotion, with the crisp sound of the keys colliding, the prelude to mom's departure from the house was finally unfolded — yes, just a prelude.
She would usually procrastinate in the hall for a while, go to the toilet to check her makeup, take stock of what she hadn't brought, and sometimes open the door to observe me, even though I tended to sleep on the top bunk, and often faced the wall, leaving only a back that rose and fell with her breathing for her to check my state.
At this time, I must not be in a hurry, but can only patiently continue to pretend to sleep. Usually, she would have to wait for about ten minutes to go down the hallway to put on her shoes, and during that time I could risk lifting a little quilt and sliding one foot out of the bed, but maintaining the look that could be covered at any time.
By the time I hear the creaking of the shoe closet, the quilt can be slowly lifted, but the hand must grasp the edge so that it can be pulled back at any time. It doesn't take much time to put on her heels, but almost every time she has to be better at deciding which pair of shoes to match her outfit — though they're all pretty much the same in my opinion.
When she began to unlock the door, she would carefully unscrew each lock every night until she went out in the morning, and then open them one by one, since we had been sneaked into the house and stolen two mobile phones and some belongings when we lived in the old house, and her habit had never changed.
I propped myself up little by little to the click of the door lock, walked backwards toward the stairs of the bed, and finally placed one foot gently on the highest step of the ladder, and the other foot on the bed, maintaining a posture that could be thrown back into the bed at any time.
This is the most difficult time to stay up, the feet pressed on the bed can easily become numb, and the mother always likes to be careful about the state of the lock, and if there is a slight rotation, she has to have more opportunities to verify, trying to figure out whether there is any sign of being pried lock - given that this thing really happened once, I can't even blame her for being too careful.
As luck would have it, I was able to get out of bed in less than half a minute and walk out of the room softly against the sound of the gate being closed, but this time it was unlucky, and she seemed to have a little problem turning the fixed lock of the inner door, and turned it back and forth several times before she began to open the iron gate, which took almost a minute.
Carefully propped up on the edge of the bed, I walked down the wooden staircase, which had creaked with weight even then, and the cat stepped on the wooden floor with its bare feet with the coolness of the morning, tiptoeing slowly to the door.
Mom had closed the floodgates, and I even heard the sound of heeled shoes colliding with the stair tiles. But it would be naïve to walk out of the hall at this time with a big swing, remembering that I mentioned earlier that she always put things in a mess?
Whenever she started to go downstairs, she would always think of what she had missed from time to time, and then rush home in a hurry, take a lot of effort to open the iron gate and close the inner door, hurriedly throw off her high heels and run back to the middle of the room to look for it.
Thanks to the huge movement she made, every time she played a round like this- sometimes two or even three rounds of carbine, I always remembered to climb back to the top bunk in time, cover the quilt and continue to pretend to sleep to avoid her "checking the room".
Maybe God pity me for being pressed on the bed while waiting for her to open the door, my left leg was numb, this time she went straight to the first floor with no intention of looking back, the low-rise apartment we were in was only four floors in total, even if she went to the bottom floor, the sound of going downstairs would be heard through the winding stairs to the highest floor of our house.
Finally, she pushed open the iron gate at the entrance to the apartment, a public entrance that had a spring structure that would automatically close the door, but apparently did not have any deceleration device, so when the gate was opened and the opener let go, the gate would be closed again with a very strong force, and the collision sound would be enough to pass from the street mouth where the apartment was located to the end of the street.
Hearing this loud noise, the mother's departure from home finally entered the last end. The time after that was theoretically safe, but it wasn't ruled out that she would suddenly run back to pick up an important item she had forgotten in a bag, and the reaction time left for me was definitely long enough anyway.
Playing GB behind your parents' back was probably the most exciting part of the year
So I was finally able to slowly unscrew the door, and the cat walked out of his room, and then looked to the right, where Daddy's bedroom was. In most cases, the mother would lock the door firmly and bring the key with her to work. However, in order to avoid the tragedy of losing the key, she prepared a spare key and pressed it under the telephone in the hall.
Taking the key and sneaking open the door, I crept up to the one-piece closet in the room and pulled open the door on the left. Pulling aside a few heavy winter coats, a drying box for belongings appeared in front of my eyes, and the transparent lid showed what was inside.
Usually there are items such as bills and passbooks on the top floor, and I have little interest in the financial situation of the family, nor do I have any concepts, but on the innermost side, a gray rectangular object is my real goal. Pushing the lid up, I reached out and pulled it out, carefully closing the lid and the closet door again.
The heavy weight of the object constantly irritated my nerves, and sometimes I would even put the card slot behind it to the end of my nose, smell the long-lost metal element, and then run back to my room, pull open the drawer, draw a nearly square cassette from the plastic card box, insert the card slot, listen contentedly to the sound of the perfect combination of the two, and press the power button almost religiously.
The long summer and winter vacations that belonged to me at the age of 13 were spent in such a sneaky day. Whenever night fell, or I heard the sound of someone stepping on the stairs, I would quickly turn off the power, nervously put the gray "brick" back into the box, then lock the door, rush back to my room, start grabbing a Language/Math/English tutoring book, pretending to be meditative about the holiday homework that I had never touched, and showing a proud smile after my mother or father opened the door without noticing.
This is the memory between me and GAME BOY, and perhaps one of the most precious memories of my gaming career, and its value is not in what games I played with this handheld, what kind of achievements I achieved, or even what kind of happiness I gained, but it evoked my deepest desire for the game itself, and in order to be able to play it, I was willing to do many things that were impossible to do, or even unwilling to try.
After so many years, the child who stole the "brick" may still exist in my heart, it supports me to leave my hometown to find a job of my own, it also encourages me to step by step into the world of the game, and perhaps it will be it, which can keep me playing and enjoying it forever.
Third, the bud of the soul of the game
Author: Chu XinRen; Favorite GB Game: Tetris
If the GBA is the enlightenment of most post-90s handheld players, then the epoch-making invention of GameBoy is probably the germ of the soul of the game. Yes, the year GameBoy was born, I hadn't had a womb yet... But the amazing thing is that although the memories of childhood are somewhat vague, there is even an intersection with GameBoy.
At that time, I often spent winter and summer vacations with my cousin at my grandmother's house, my family was in a small town, there were few novelty toys, and my cousin had all kinds of ensemble robots, fake Lego and other things, including some anime and manga after that.
Now that I think about it, there was no Internet at that time, and Japanese information was basically impossible to start, but I unconsciously saw many products from Japan at my grandmother's house in the city, which was like the earliest opportunity for me to "enter the house". And one of them is GameBoy.
Tetris on the earliest GameBoy became an eternal classic in the gaming industry
The GameBoy has a gray brick-like shape, black cross keys and red buttons, and the small screen are all unforgettable, and the action of the cartridge blowing at the gold finger before the card cartridge is even more "unsolved mystery" (Nintendo later reminded players that this will only increase the chance of the cassette rust).
On this machine that may not have been called at the time, I was most impressed by Pokemon, after all, it was the game that was launched the most often and played for the longest time. Even if GameBoy has a battery life of several hours, it is still necessary to continue to play with the power cord connected often.
Now it seems that rather than being a handheld, it seems that it should be called a home machine in the environment at that time, and in terms of consumption power and parental control at that time, it is probably only allowed to allow a few games to enter the child's game list.
It's unclear whether the Pokemon cartridge is pirated or genuine, but at least it's certain that it's a Japanese version. Even Pokemon Gold silver, which is still playing on GBC, is also a Japanese version.
Because the divine translation name of "fat" was not heard until later. As for what motivated my cousin, I went through the Japanese version of Pokemon over and over again, and what attracted me, watching him throw the poke ball over and over again, and then ignoring the pain of his fingers, superstitious rumors and rubbing the arrow keys, I believe that only in that era of lack of entertainment can I understand.
Bomberman on GB
In addition to that, among a bunch of unnamed collection games, Bomberman and Tetris are some of the most memorable games for me. The charm of "Bomberman" can also be reflected in the later copycat work "Bubble Hall".
Maybe my ability to be "handicapped" has been evident since then, because I often put bombs and ended up killing myself. As for the impression of Tetris, it was because of the game console that suddenly appeared in my mother's hand.
Obviously, it was a copycat machine, and it became a dedicated machine for GameBoy's best-selling game, and it has to be said that the manufacturer's positioning of the product is very clear. And how the mother who is responsible for watching the groceries sold every day got into this machine, and how this machine went later, is still a mystery to this day.
Four, one, two, three Nitendo Club
Author: Neni; Favorite Games: Pokemon Yellow, Pokemon Gold/Silver
A transparent GBP, two AA batteries, and three square cassettes almost made up the whole of my childhood game life. In fact, in that good memory, there should have been a place for "domestic FC", but the strict blockade of my parents led to the number of times I have come into contact with that "artifact" so far, I can count it with one finger, of course, I lost interest later.
So in that case, the small GBP was obviously more suitable for fighting guerrillas with my parents, so it also played the role of my game enlightenment mentor, and perhaps because of this, I still prefer the feeling of holding my favorite game in the palm of my hand.
GBP's styling was thinner and more colorful, and it was popular at the time
One handheld
I didn't touch the thick version of the brick-like VERSION of GB in the first one, but directly entered the GBP behind the thin body. Under the transparent shell, the internal circuit board structure is clear at a glance, and even each button change can be clearly observed, coupled with the tough and slender shape, it seems to be unparalleled special and exquisite at the time.
This machine stayed with me for a long time, so long that I later skipped GBC and GBA directly and upgraded to GBA SP in one step. And even in the high school era when NDS and PSP have become popular, I still bring it to the school dormitory, and my friends often use it to play classics such as "Adventure Island", so there are often "cross-era" strange landscapes in the dormitory where PSP and GB appear at the same time.
Looking back, at that time, everyone was completely immersed in the game, no camp, no argument, no picture party, and no game victims, which was really nostalgic. Today, although this GBP has become obsolete, through the transparent shell can also observe the traces of aging inside the machine, but the machine functions are still intact, no demolition and no repair, no dark disease, it is really "GB eternal, a forever".
Two batteries
GBP uses two AAA batteries, and when the early rechargeable batteries were not popular, it was often my job to painstakingly find all available energy sources, after all, if you buy batteries frequently, it is easy to reveal the filling, and often it is also shy.
The first to be killed was the remote control at home, tv, air conditioner, CD player, etc., all of which were not spared. Because even if these batteries cannot be used on GB, they can still persist on the remote control for a long time, so it does not arouse suspicion.
The age when devices could not be charged The No. 5 battery became the biggest energy dependence for people to enjoy games
However, the appliances at home are limited, and the free lunch is quickly exhausted, so I started the idea of idle No. 5 batteries. The bloated No. 5 battery obviously couldn't fit into the GB battery compartment, so I used the wires in Dad's toolbox to draw out the positive and negative contact points in the battery compartment, and then connected to the two Ends of the Two No. 5 batteries in order.
Theoretically, there should be no problem, but it may be that there is no good fixation method to cause poor contact or other reasons, this solution has never been successful, and it is also an interesting but slightly regrettable experience.
The importance of electricity for games is self-evident. Without electricity, no matter how good the game can not come out, in today's era of large-capacity lithium batteries, mobile power, etc., it is difficult to appreciate the infinite desire for two small batteries in the past.
In fact, the happiest moment at that time was not the process of the game, but the moment when the power indicator on the right side of the GB screen lit up, a small red light, dazzling and charming.
Three trays of cassettes
Although GB has accompanied me for a long time, but in fact, there are not many cassettes that really belong to themselves, even if it is pirated at that time, the price is still far beyond the affordable range for us little farts, so everyone buys a few different cassettes, and everyone changes to play has become the norm.
Because of the small number, the impression of those cartridges is particularly impressive: a Pokemon Yellow, a Pokemon Silver, and a collection of cassettes that claim to be 100-in-1 but only have 10 games.
The reason why "Yellow" was chosen instead of "Red/Blue/Green" is actually very simple, in the game, Pikachu will run after the protagonist, which is much taller than the scrap Pikachu that can only be brushed back and forth in the initial forest in other versions.
Pikachu follows the protagonist, just like the setting in the anime
And "Yellow" should also be the Pokemon I have played the longest and played the most passes, and I have walked anywhere in the map that can be reached. In addition to the few choices, the memory battery is also one of the reasons: when you wake up one morning and turn on the machine, you find that the records of dozens of hours have become the initial archive, and there is no complaint at that time, but once again start from scratch, and then drop the file, and start again! If this situation were put up by now, I would have scolded (laughs).
Pokemon Gold/Silver is a classic that goes without further ado, maybe a little too extreme, but I still think it's the funniest Pokemon of the generation.
But the funny thing is that I had a problem with my daguerreotype card at that time, and there was a high chance of dropping the gear after the first level, so I may not be able to forget the bald monks in the Tower of the Horn Bud in my life. Later, I learned that the memory battery was stolen by the profiteer to change the pillar, and I spent money to buy a replacement to get rid of the shadow of the bald heads.
As for "100 in 1", although it is a cheated experience, there are "Mega Man", "Little Bee", "Bomberman" and several other games that I can't name at all, which is actually quite thick from the lineup point of view, after all, I can experience 10 works with different styles and types in a cassette, which also greatly broadens my game cognition in addition to "Pokemon".
Now these three games have long been dismantled by me, I don't know which corner to lie in, but the happiness they brought me still occupies a very important position in the game career and will never be forgotten.
Fifth, the first handheld machine
Author: MusicIan; Favorite GB Game: Pokemon Blue
Speaking of the earliest connection with GB was when he was in elementary school, when he heard that the father of a local tycoon who lived in the same district brought him a handheld game console from Japan, and the students were very curious about what a foreign game console looked like, because the first handheld machine he played when he was a child was the kind of black and white Tetris, which was really uninteresting.
One day after school, everyone agreed to go to the home of the local tycoon to watch, as soon as I went in, I saw him sitting on the sofa playing with relish, took a closer look, and was shocked by the game screen inside, remembering that he was playing a horizontal version of the "White Book of Youyou" horizontal playthrough game, because everyone was watching this comic during that time, so the excitement could not be described in words, and finally got ten minutes of "trial play" time under a plea, which was also my first close contact with GB.
After returning home, he began to beg his parents to buy a GB, and after unremitting efforts, he finally exchanged the first handheld, but the nearby game store did not buy the game of "Youyou White Book", bought "Pokemon Blue" under the recommendation of the store owner, and when he returned home, he couldn't wait to play it.
In order not to let my parents reprimand me for only playing games, I often hid in the bed in the middle of the night with a flashlight and played, until I cultivated dozens of elves in my hand into "monsters" above level 80, and the refreshing feeling of seeing whose seconds was unparalleled.
After playing for a few days, I learned that in fact, after GB, there is a handheld machine that can display the color named GBC, and I didn't know what these letters represented at that time, but I remember that I once again persuaded my soft-hearted mother to buy a GBC with a small three-inch tongue, and in the case of not buying other games, I inserted the "Pokemon Blue" that I had played for a long time on the new machine, and after booting, I found that the overall tone of the game became blue.
Little else had changed, but for me, the evolution of this picture was already a qualitative leap forward, once again embarking on a fierce adventure with familiar elves, but the good times were not long, and one ordinary weekend morning, I turned on the machine according to the custom after breakfast, and found that the game that had been fought for hundreds of hours could only start over, and the save was tragically gone.
Later learned that this cassette game save is to provide storage memory function through the built-in button battery, the battery is out of power The archive also disappears, the impression is that I also cried for this matter, my mother in order to coax me to be happy personally took me to the game store to buy two games, no heart and no lungs I got the new game after playing happily again, what happened before what was unhappy completely left behind, I think this is the most innocent charm of the game.
The games I bought this time are "The Legend of Zelda Time and Space" and "Pokemon Gold", when I first played Zelda, I didn't know what the game was about due to the language barrier, and I only felt that it was very rewarding to control the heroic route of a villain to slay demons and exorcise demons, and "Pokemon Gold" is also the most successful pocket game I have ever felt set.
Although due to the previous investment in "Pokemon Blue" is too high to be able to beat the former in terms of love, but the quality of the whole game is really surprising, the shape of the "Fireball Mouse" elf is also the favorite of the small game after Pikachu, now think about the game conditions at that time is really difficult, but also let me leave a deep impression on the "Pokemon series".
Although I have little time to play with the handheld now, the orange GB console that is sealed in the memory makes me unforgettable.
Remember a little friend of the same age
Author: Alien
"I want a 'portable' game console, the fuselage is black, the shape is very much like a radio, the screen has colors, the buttons are on both sides of the screen, and the back of the machine can also change the cassette, there are many games to play.
I vaguely remember that many years ago, I described my birthday wish like this. When I was a child, every summer vacation, the thing I was most looking forward to was that my cousins who settled in Hong Kong would come back to play, and together with other cousins who also lived here, the scene of 5 people playing together was both happy and lively.
And before we come back, our aunt will fulfill a "late" birthday wish for us like Santa Claus did. So in the summer of the first grade, my aunt gave me a big white brick, Game Boy, which was the day I met this childhood friend.
However, when I received this gift, I also felt a pang of loss in my heart - because this is not the same as saying yes, and it was not this one that I saw last time with other relatives. Is it true that the screen color is treated as a fuselage with many colors? Is it only remembered that you can change the cassette tape? Or should I just tell them I want that game console called Chicken Duck? (Game Gear, only the approximate pronunciation at the time) But from the results, this error made me stand in the "royal camp" of the handheld.
Since then, GB has become the motivation for me to complete my homework quickly and get good grades in exams every weekend. Later, the number of GB students in the class gradually increased, and after playing the original "32 in 1", they began to exchange games with their classmates around them, and went to the nearby game store for the first time under the leadership of a group of "bad friends".
There are so many games played on GB that I can't say which one I like the most, but if I like which cartridge I like the most, it is a "24 in 1". Unlike the common cassettes, which have dozens of lilies and actually only have a dozen or so games to flip over, this cassette is not only not repeated, but also has many works with very attractive themes, such as Filey, Batman, Binney Rabbit, Adventure Island, etc., as well as some works that are now unnamed.
Each one is very unique, very interesting, and the criteria for choosing a game when I was a child are actually very simple, and I don't care about the texture and quality, and the works I like for anime and manga adaptations will be attracted at once, but even some works that are obviously quality problematic in retrospect, as long as it is not difficult to play, I will play happily for a while. This kind of pure liking is probably hard to find now...
And the game that carries the most memories is undoubtedly "Pokemon", I remember that the Hong Kong television station was broadcasting this animation at that time, and it is believed that many children have the dream of being able to carry out the journey in the game like the protagonist of the animation.
Turn-based command RPGs seemed so new at the time, and the ability to see archiving for the first time made me no longer have to worry about having to play from scratch after running out of time or the battery ran out, and the rich and huge content suddenly immersed me in it.
Even if the archiving technology at that time could only last until the electronic power in the cassette was exhausted, even if the archive was lost, it was to start over and over again, with a new team to start the adventure and have fun.
And at that time, we were playing the Japanese version, elementary school did not know anything about Japanese, and did not know the so-called Sinicization, but we could remember the name of each Pokemon move and the effect of the props like a symbol, this kind of enthusiasm for the game I liked even the language barrier could be broken, those students who did not communicate much gradually became "comrades-in-arms" through continuous online, exchange elves and deepened the relationship to become a good partner, these are one of the most beautiful childhood memories that GB brings to me.
Seven, a distant childhood
Author: Sakura Yae; Favorite GB Games: Doctor Mario, Adventure Island series
Unlike FC, which has become popular through various cottage forms in China, Game Boy is not a thing that can often be touched in my childhood memories. Although it is also a game machine, at least FC will be draped in the skin of "learning machine", parents will not be so opposed, but GB is a game machine without compromise, and the body is small and easy to hide, very suitable for playing various "guerrilla warfare" with parents and teachers, you can imagine what kind of resistance and suppression will be encountered.
"Dr. Mario"
In my memory, only one well-off teenager in the elementary school class owned a GBP, so every time he arrived at recess, his desk was always surrounded by friends, and in just 600 seconds, a small utopia was formed.
Of course, this utopia would be bombarded by teachers from time to time, because in the eyes of many teachers at that time, even during recess, playing game consoles was not right, and our "illegal gathering" was an extremely conspicuous target, so with the "help" of "pig teammates", the number of confiscated GBP in the teacher's drawer was also increasing.
Fortunately, this local tycoon teenager did not transfer his anger to the "pig teammate", he could find a teacher to come back and ask for it, or he could not come back and say that he had lost it and bought a new one, which was really envious of me, a working-class child.
Later, Nintendo launched a GBC with a color screen, and the toys in the hands of local tycoon teenagers were also updated, and the monochromatic GBP was eliminated. Witty I proposed to him that I was willing to lend him the summer vacation homework in exchange for the right to use the GBP summer vacation, and the local tycoon agreed without saying a word.
Don't look at the summer vacation at home, and parents to fight guerrilla is not easy, even if the summer vacation homework is written early, every day before the parents will be assigned a large number of practice questions, from time to time will suddenly go home to a surprise inspection, so I strictly stipulate myself, each hour can only play 15 minutes, the rest of the time to read well, with such a goal, the learning efficiency is actually improved a lot.
Due to language constraints, there are very few games that can be played, RPG and the like are basically on the sidelines, and the "Pokemon series" has not even touched. The most played is a very old game - "Doctor Mario", this game is similar to Tetris, there is no difficulty, and it is very addictive, almost picked up and played until death.
It is impossible for me to spend more than 10 minutes on this kind of game, but 20 years ago, this simple operation and monotonous game was my only enjoyment after boring learning. To this day, when I hear that familiar melody, I can't help but hum along with it, that simple and immaculate happiness, I'm afraid I will never have the opportunity to experience it again...
VIII. The only "Legend" on GBC
Author:Autumn Sand Rain; Favorite GB Game: Fantasy Legend Dressup Maze
My memory of GB is relatively vague, the first contact with the handheld is GBA instead of GB or GBC, and then because of GBA's "Fantasy Legend", it embarked on the road of no return. GB did not contact later, GBC is somewhat impressed, in order to play "Fantasy Legend Dressup Maze" and contact for a period of time, when I was still a student party, I could only borrow it from friends to play.
Fantasy Legend Dressup Labyrinth is a story that takes place after the end of Fantasy Legends, the protagonists are twin siblings Dior and Mel, the player acts as their guardian in the game, guarding their growth on the road, and the background of the final boss, Daos, is also completed in this game.
Looking back now, the plot of "Fantasy Legend Dress-up Maze" has been cut a lot in the remake version of "Fantasy Legend Dress-up Maze X", and the original heavy atmosphere has become a little bright but somewhat uncomfortable.
Due to the limitations of GBC's function, Fantasy Legend Dress-up Maze cannot operate characters freely on linear battlefields like SFC or PS, and can only fight like turn-based, of course, I do not expect GBC's function to make "Fantasy Legend Dress-up Labyrinth" compete with "Eternal Legend" released in the same year.
However, "Fantasy Legend Dress-up Labyrinth" does a good job of restoring the original BGM, so that the music of the original work is well integrated into the function of GBC, and my favorite series of elf war special songs "Fighting of the Spirit" is naturally not absent, and the restoration is very good, and the retro style of "Fighting of the Spirit" now sounds a different flavor.
What impressed me most during the game was not the plot, but that one night I brushed sleepily when I was brushing grades in the dormitory, and I was in a ceiling-facing position at the time, and readers who played handheld games in this position before going to bed at night knew that if they fell asleep in this situation, their faces would suffer.
When I was confused at the moment of hand released the GBC, the result of the machine just hit the bridge of my nose, just fell asleep the moment was smashed awake, scared I almost threw the GBC on the wall, from then on I tried not to brush before going to bed to play RPG, has been hit by the machine, then my nose bridge will become flat.
IX. Laying the foundation for the "slab brick" of the game heart city
Author: Garland
If you want to talk about the favorite GB game, it must be "Pokemon" that is very different from the style of the game I like now, when the "Pokemon" animation was popular, plus it was still the era of Japanese games, basically there was no Japanese-American game to speak of, the most important thing is that a small broken child can play the game, what else to talk about picking the game to play?
Due to the young age, money is a major factor in the choice of games, so in addition to interest in choosing a game, you must also take into account the element of playability, and under the recommendation of the owner of the video game store, Pokemon became my first choice.
I remember that I bought the yellow version of Pikachu without knowing the difference between the different versions, just because I thought that the version with the protagonist must be cooler... At that time, I couldn't understand Japanese, and I actually let me pass the level in the state of three points by watching seven points, and then with some folk raiders with extremely poor printing quality, I was able to obtain all the elves except for the ones that needed to be obtained online, and the later gold and silver editions naturally became the favorite games of my GB era. Until now, there are only a few games that I can passionately devote hundreds of hours to.
My memories with GB
Since there is a national god machine in front of the little bully, the GB is not my first game console, but it is definitely the game console that has inspired my gaming career the most. My GB game road thanks to an upstart, I remember that at that time, my father's friend had a local tycoon who made a fortune by contracting unknown things, that year on the first day of the New Year, we went to his house to visit the New Year, the couple two red envelopes a plug, after going home to open I was shocked, 500 a letter, a total of 1000, which was less than 10 years old at the time was simply astronomical.
Due to the fine tradition that my parents never need to hand in their red envelope money, I bought GB that afternoon, although I felt that there was a wind on the way to buy it, but I did not report to my mother when I went home and was scolded.
All in all, I got acquainted with this "big brick", at that time it became the focus of the boys in the class, at that time there was even their money out of the cassette, I played the machine, through this way I also played a lot of good games, and a few classmates do not know whether they were influenced by me, and finally stole the parents' money to buy one, the result is naturally indispensable rattan resistance bonus ...
In terms of games, in addition to the games that impressed me the most, in addition to the gods such as "Pokemon", there was also a battle game of "White Book", and the days of fighting with the children of the community until dusk with a small online line are still unforgettable.
At that time, all kinds of strange peripherals were also a highlight of GB, and I remember that there was a transformer that was always in bad contact and broke when touched, and a lamp magnifying glass that could hide from the bed after turning off the lights, yes, it was a magnifying glass! This simple and crude way of improving the sensory experience is truly unprecedented.
Ten, my weekly love affair with GB
Author: Sakya
I came from a super anti-game key middle school, don't talk about playing games in class, even if you walk a god, you may be punished for copying texts, so GB this kind of mythical thing was not related to me before going to college. If you don't count the various Tetris, GB is the first handheld I have ever touched, but this handheld is not mine, it was lent to me by a friend. He only lent me a week, plus two games.
The first game was Super Mario 2 Six Coins, of course, I didn't know the main title at the time, so it was simply "6 Gold Goods". It was the first Mario I'd played since FC (I didn't have SFC), and needless to say it felt really fresh.
This game also greatly reverses my bad impression of GB, as the gameplay is much higher than the FC version. The way the game reminds me of Mega Man, and there were 6 areas to choose from at the beginning, which is naturally quite superficial from today's point of view.
However, it is a pity that after playing the initial 6 areas, and then dry over the final BOSS even if the level is completed, I have always thought that there will be 6 new areas, so this also makes me feel a little less favorable about the game.
The second game is the famous "Galactic Warrior 2 Sams Returns". I've been known for this game for a long time. In that era when "under the moon" was not yet popular, it was really unexpected to be able to play such a game. The biggest feature of the game is the various hidden passages, in order to find out all the hidden elements I almost blew up an inch of land.
However, the pit daddy is that I GB still play too little, the game's map repetition rate is too high, and many places seem to have come, but they are actually brand new. This caused me to lose my way in the final stage of the fight, plus I had to return the machine, and I finally failed to pass the level. As compensation, I've been perfect for all the Galactic Warrior games since then.
I didn't have a long time with GB, and I was a standard arcade boy at the time, which made me far from being a fan of GB. However, I was still impressed by the portability of GB, if I could get access to Pokemon at that time, would my taste change greatly today?
epilogue
GB's memories precipitate in the mind over time. Even if we have a newer console, a more advanced means of playing, and a variety of twists and turns in our lives, perhaps some of us will leave the game with the pressures of life. But I firmly believe that as long as the players who have lived through that era have fought with GB, then this memory will not be far away.
