Handheld: Introduction!

[Handheld]

Hey, CEers! I've been involved in video games, and more specifically Pokemon games, since I was born in 1997. By older brother was a die-hard collector too, but he grew out of it. I live in the Eastern part of the US, and am currently a Sophomore in High School. Well, onto the collection. I have mostly Pokemon items, but also have some Zelda and other games as well. My favorite item in the collection would have to be my Original Gameboy, which I inherited from my older brother in '01. As you can see from the picture, I have kept it in somewhat decent condition. On to the pics!









































That is everything for now, but I will be picking some other stuff up later in the week.

I plan on getting every one I can. I also collect/restore vintage lawn and garden tractors, and that hobby takes up a lot of cash, so I am trying to transition towards this one instead as I have almost everything I want for that stuff. I have never heard of an Olympic Edition GameBoy... May need to do some research...

Does anyone know the difference between the GB Original and the Play it Loud series?

Nah play it loud was a campaign about the gameboy now having loud new colors, i think there were about 6 colors in total and really simple to inderchange the innards of a standard grey gameboy incase you get a dead colored one
