    "I could talk for another 2 hours about the gameboy" please do I'd love a 2 hour long mvg video about the gameboy

    I loved developing for the Game Boy. I developed Lemmings 2 GB (and GG + MS) and thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of figuring out ways to overcome the limitations of the tile-based graphics system, display RAM size, and maximum number of sprites on a line. Race Drivin' at anything approaching a playable framerate was an incredible accomplishment by John Mullins.

    Whoever tackled drawing polygons with tiles must have been a borderline psychopath.

    RIP to probably hundreds of AA batteries in my childhood. I’m sure the overall cost of ownership of this thing was higher than most full consoles when batteries were accounted for
  • @novelezra
    Links Awakening is truly one of the most beautiful and charming Zelda's ever. Every part of that game oozes with love; it's truly something special when you can feel how much the developers loved making the game just by playing it.

    Some of my best childhood memories go back to that green screen brick:
    - Wario Land 1
    - Mega Man V
    - Six Golden Coins (SML2)
    - Pokemon Blue
    - Link's Awakening
    - Tetris Attack
    So many great memories ❤

    At 11:20, when that Robocop title music kicked in...wow. Nostalgia hit hard. I've always loved that tune and was surprised no one ever mentions how great it is.
  • @garydustin
    I love how the GB development scene has had a rebirth over the years. I recently bought the special edition of Deadeus and couldn't be happier with it. Super cool to have that scene alive and well.

    When I saw the first screenshot of mario on the Gameboy in a magazine, the outline of the pyramid in the background looked like it was a path indicator of Mario's jump and I for some reason my young child brain assumed that the game would somehow show you how your jump would occur.
    So I guess that's why I became an engineer...

    You're timing on this is amazing. After 48yrs the Z80 production is finally being stopped. Wild that the Gameboy and it's cpu heart were so legendary they persist into 2024.

    Thanks for showing GB Studio and GBDK! Happy to also see bbbbbr’s Canyon Racer. His work has bolstered many parts of the GB Homebrew community.

    Graduated high school in ‘89. Started a full time job that summer. My first game system I purchased with my own money was Game Boy… then a Genesis, a TG-16, and a Lynx. A lot of great gaming came out pretty fast in 1989.
  • @clashclay
    11:20 aww man the sounds are amazing I grew up with the Gameboy so this is all nostalgic.
  • @SteelSack
    Wow, that Metal Masters theme SLAPS
  • @AriesFireTiger
    Alberto Gonzalez was a f'ing wizard on the Game Boy. His tracks are sooooo good 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
  • @JameMarius
    The gameboy is 35, and I will be 30 this year. I never played OG Gameboy back in the day. I've mostly played OG Gameboy games with my Gameboy Advanced since my uncle gave me his old Gameboy games. But I still have a lot of fond memories of the OG games since I only had like 4 or 5 Gameboy Advanced games but like 25 Gameboy Gameboy games.
    PS: Nice video btw

    The GameBoy sound chip is one of the best 8-Bit synthesizers after the mighty SID of course😊
  • my childhood right here. OG GB did magic as devs learned the platform.
