Agreed, that is some killer box art for Conan. 😄 A certified classic, though I never played this version. 😛

Good games. 🙂 I used to like Marble Madness on the NES, how is it on the GB?
Haha that could be, the old heated rivalry. 😛

It's hard for me to get my copy off the high shelf now, so these are not mine. 😛 I technically did not buy them just for the boxes, but had to keep them, and put them on display in my home. 😄

😛 Knowing Jack it was probably the cheapest cereal they could advertise with.

You probably remember William Shatner, Bill Cosby, and Alan Alda promoting computers, but do you remember King Kong Bundy? 😎👍

I actually did it. I purchased this PAL game just because I really, really like the artwork. 

I've got three 2600 boxes with no games...Xenophobe, Moto Rodeo, and Radar Lock.  Great art work.  I hope to someday find loose carts to go inside (I realize they may be PAL). 
 

There is a game because of the artwork and because of the franchise.  It's MOTU for the PS2.  It's a PAL only game, so I cannot play it but I don't care. 

Of course it's "Kellog's START" or some random cereal nobody's heard of. They couldn't have chosen Frosted Flakes or Fruit Loops or Cap'n Crunch for Atari to promote the Lynx. How many kids were eating "START" back in the day? They probably chose it because it had the same name as the ST Magazine.

Great Video. :3 Buran is a beauty even in old age.

I've seen the Russian shuttle design before and it does look good.  There are videos on YouTube of these abandoned shuttles.  This is one of the most recent videos...
 

I love the Buran shuttle. Sad the fate of the Buran programme, but was a beautiful ship. 

There's one non-Trek sci fi ship that I really like.  The Cygnus from The Black Hole...



 

Looking back on it, I THINK he was more one of those cool edgy SEGA types 😝I am guessing not much of a salesperson either, maybe he was secretly jealous of Nintendo sales. 

Not sure I will get into any of the modding at this point though it IS amazing the screens that can be swapped in these days. 

I also never had one...until we got one for kid #1 sometime around 1999 or so.  A teal GBC.  Anyway, once the boy got into it, I did too.  I thought it was so awesome they made them backwards compatible for older games. 

I didn't have one either.  My cousins did and I played it but much preferred my Lynx at the time.  I got a GBA many years later, though.  🙂

Nice! The GB Pocket is my favorite form factor.
I never had an original Gameboy, could never afford one. Then in 1996, I finally got one, it was cheap enough at Toys 'R Us. I got a Silver GB Pocket and Mega Man II for the Gameboy. Played the heck out of it. Weird that the older boy hated the Gameboy. Plenty of good NES games like Castlevania, Zelda, and Final Fantasy on there for older kids.
My brother and I wanted both Pokemon Red and Blue, he got Blue, I got Red, we shared my Gameboy every 30 mins. That cramped the style of playing Pokemon, but we made it work. 😛
The IPS kits for GB Pockets are easy to install. I installed an older backlight in my Black GB Pocket, but the IPS ones blow those old ones away. I am going to put one in mine once I get an extra $60. They are a nice quality of life improvement, though I don't mind the original GB Pocket screen it's nice.
I read a paper I wrote in High School, about my time from Primary School to HIgh School. Apparently in 7th grade Science Class, I'd just sit in the back of the class and play my Gameboy. 😛
