Behind The Times I am not your average cutting edge gamer. I usually don't run out to my local electronics store and buy the latest and greatest things. Like many people like me, I have a limited budget to work with and quality matters. I've bee ...
If you look back a few months in my review listings, you'll see that I thoroughly despise the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Original for anything besides RPGs. The original GB console and it's pseudo-successor, a color variant, are both consoles that...
Pros: Advanced color, sound and play. Cons: I haven't found any yet.

With all the hype out there about the Gameboy Advance, my kids had the "I have to have it" attitude even though they had just finally gotten Gameboy Color for Christmas, thanks to their grandparents. Seeing the price of the console, we...
Pros: Great graphics and games! Smaller unit, very powerful Cons: Poor lighting, no backlight
Normally, hand held games aren’t my thing, as I find that games simply don’t translate well to a small screen. However, I can honestly say that the Nintendo (and it’s no secret that I am not too crazy about this company), has really outdone themselves...
Pros: Nice system for travel. Good selection of games. Cons: You don't have many choices in handheld.
Playing electronic games ranks right up with scrubbing the toilet in my book. I get enough surprises coming out of nowhere to handle in real life without adding all manner of jumps and hurdles intentionally. Give me a good book any day if I have a...
Pros: Game Boy Color games backwards compatible, best handheld out there. Cons: Uh, I can't see a damn thing!!
I first saw these things in action at the GameCube Press Conference. Some people had been playing these things because they had bought the import, but not I.

GameBoy Advance hit the US market with a bang, which, sadly, did not match the expectations. Once again, a console was released that boasted great processing power, awesome display and handling, but very few games. Therefore, I cannot recommend GBA at...
Pros: Nice graphics and sound. Compatibility. Cons: No backlit display. Pricey games.
"Portable gaming has always intrigued me. I've seen the evolution of many "pocket" systems and how the revert, advance and revert again. Nintendo's powerful successor to its wildly successful GameBoy is now stepped up and revamped." ...
