CRAZY Nintendo Game Boy Color Accessory

#shorts
There have been many weird accessories made for the Nintendo Game Boy and the the Game Boy Color alike throughout their respective life spans. Somewhere along the line this beast the "Handy Pak Color" was made and I was lucky enough to pick one up! What accessories did you use with your Game Boys?

Had something similar that would let u play in the dark

[kryptokrypto]

had this as a kid. it was handy, magnified the screen, and had a built in light. It was awesome to use at night secretly or long road trips when lighting was not consistent. The sound actually was quite decent as well. heavy but worth it. 4/5 stars, 1 star less for being a fast battery drain.

Why do I discover all these amazing accessories for my all time favorite systems 20 years later!?

[tookayever]

I actually had this and loved every minute of it. Works best under the blanket late night

[Skorch]

I had one of those. Bring back memories.

I have an earlier version for original gameboy same color tone, but no button upgrades sound magnification and lights was awesome

The magnifying part comes out more than you think and that really helps being one handy pak color owner.

Interesting to think thar someone, someday in the 90's(I think), said "you know what kids need for their tiny portable game? A magnifying glass, a flashlight, and big ass speakers, mountes on it"

Just like the Handy Boy I had for the OG Gameboy.

I had this thing for the brick. Loved it. Let me play in the dark. Cut off the joystick tho, it was just a t shape that could rotate between the dpad.

[Lost_n_Found_]

Yeah, I used to use one of these, but even if I hadn't, I'd make sure I knew how to lift the screen magnifier before making a video about it!

[Shinobi]

I always wanted one as a kid. But for the original gameboy

[EatSleepSkrrt]

Pinball was the only game I had and I had a purple colour, thank for the nostalgia 💜 I really miss it now, and I am going to safe it just so I can hear that awesome tune

I never felt that the magnifying lense actually made the screen bigger. Just distorted it enough to seem bigger. Especially since the dimensions were exactly the same as the screen lol.

[krtsg.]

That magnifying screen is telescopic actually. Just pull it up.

[chrisallen]

I definitely have one of these still to this day, if you grab the magnifying glass by the sides and pull out it’ll make the screen bigger and you can reach those switches better

[christophermorin]

Had one of those. You extend the screen magnifier by pinching the sides of the lens and pulling it outward. Don't break it off trying to get to those switches lol.

The only accessory I had for my gameboy color was one of those bendy lights you plug into the link cable port. When I got a gameboy advance I got another one of those lights but this one had a port behind it so I could use the link cable while the light was plugged in.

[seditexx]

I remember playing Pokemon Blue with this on road trips as a kid.

All this and Nintendo STILL didn't put a light in that shit till the SP. As far as design and portability, the SP by far was my favorite. I played my advance like a fiend and as a child I could see the very obvious improvements and treated it alot better because I didn't want to go back to begging my mom to buy batteries, and not being able to see the screen without an immediate light source. I really remember watching those full cartoon network episodes on it and thinking it was so bad ass because it was night time, I was able to see, AND I was watching one of my favorite shows. Life was simple back then, now it's more complicated but I like being an adult alot more. The toilet paper is good quality, and my mom never would have gotten a surround sound, 4k tv, or any of the new consoles so yeah. Good memories, but I'm glad I'm here now 😅
