    Advantages Advantages Vast range of games, excellent quality of games and sound.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No backlight and low volume through speaker.

    I thought it was about time I put my newly acquired gadget down and write an op on it! So here are my views on the great little device from Nintendo: ~Memory Lane~ During the last decade many large gaming companies such as Sega, Atari and Neo Geo have contributed their feeble attempts to the market, failing miserably in one way or the other. The Atari Lynx was the successor many years ago, but faded away due to it’s small range of games and low battery life. The Sega Game Gear was to follow, with it’s vast range of titles, but soon died a slow death over the years, due to it’s poor “Master ... more

    Advantages Advantages Lots of fun

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can get a big obsessive

    I was 17 in March, and I'm indesicive to say the least, so I always get completely random birthday presents to save the hassle of actually asking me! From my parents I got lots of lovely clothes and jewelery, driving lessons, quality digital camera and money. Friends got me an assortment of smellies and other girly stuff. My brother got me a battery charger and lastly, my boyfriend got me trainers. And a Gameboy Advance SP. A Gameboy might seem like a strange present to get a 17 year old female, but I'm hooked on champ manager and play gamecube almost obsessively, so it made sense in a way ... more

    Advantages Advantages Graphics are amazing

    What is it? ----------- The Gameboy Advance is the latest handheld games console from Nintendo. It is available in blue, white, clear blue and clear pink. I bought the clear blue console and it is apparantly the most popular. Unlike the Gameboy which was longer in height than width, the Gameboy Advance sits much more comfortably in the hands as it is much longer in width. The console is very uncluttered, on the right hand side you have the round A + B buttons, on the left hand side is the up-down-left-right button and 2 smaller round Start and Select buttons. On the top of the console ... more

    Advantages Advantages The power of the SNES in the plam of your hand.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Screen needs a backlight.

    The Gameboy has always been a success for Nintendo. They have relied on it in their darkest hours and it hasn’t let them down yet. Not so long ago the Playstation One couldn’t be dislodged from its dominant position at the top of the console market and the critics said that Nintendo had nothing left in the tank, they thought that Sony had won. How wrong they were, while the N64 went down like a fart in a lift the morning after a curry the Gameboy continued to sell in its millions. There is one dreaded word that tells everyone why they continued to sell: Pokemon. The success of Pokemon took ... more

    Is this the SNES reincarnated in a portable and super slick new shell? Can the newest incarnation of the Game Boy stand up and fight of all that stands before it? Can the games compete against the newest in the ’next generation’ consoles? Well anyhoo meet the newest Nintendo creation…The Game Boy Advance. The hype surrounding the release of the latest in hand held technology suggested this would be a huge success. But can it out do it predecessor all 4, or however many there are of them? Over 120 million of the original Game boys, (including GB pocket, colour and all them!) ... more
