Just brought out the ol' Gameboy Color...

It's been a while since I've touched the thing... so I brought it out again. I've started back up on LoZ:Oracle of Seasons/Ages as well, and I'm starting to remember how fun they are.

Has anyone else done something similar (or are doing something similar)? It just makes you realize how fun those oldies can be.

i just started then finished those games last month so yea i know what its like that nostalgic feel you get right when you see the gbc when ur searching for your lost jump superstars
its been allot of fun but i should get back to finding jump! its been a whole month

I love playing the older games; I find that it actually makes them more enjoyable simply because they are older and/or you haven't played them in a while.

^ ah my friend that is what they call nostalgia

The Game Boy Color was my first Nintendo system... what memories. I remember getting Pokemon Gold and not knowing how to get out of the house, LOL. It turns out you have to walk out the door. :XD

I did recently play a GBC game. Tarzan, of all things. The intro movie is impressive considering it's nearly full-motion video, but everything from the movie was redrawn it seems. I remember I tried giving it away, but I eventually took it back (I can't clearly remember it).

I know that my friend and another kid (who I can't really consider my friend) played the Oracle games together at a summer day camp (which was called just that). One had Ages and the other had Seasons. I tried watching them, but I could barely understand what the point of the game was.

I no longer have my original, clear, see-through GBC though. It was sold, or traded in, or something at a Toys Я Us store. I used it to get a GBA (also see-through) and then eventually for a GBA SP and then a DS, but I still have the SP (or else I couldn't play my GB or GBC games without using the Game Boy Player).

Well, the main reason for me playing my Gameboy Color again, is because it's been 4 months and I still can't find my DS... so I'm prolly gonna have to save up my money for another one.

Correction! Nostalgia at its finest

I love my Oracle of Seasons cartridge a while back, and was not able to complete Oracle of Ages

But yeah, they were pretty damn fun.

a ds can't play gameboy color games anyway

I know, that's why I brought out the Gameboy Color... or else I'd be too busy with the DS!

I played a little of Link's Awakening a couple of months ago. I remember playing that as a little kid and getting stumped by the darn raccoon guy in the woods; I felt so proud of myself when I finally figured out how to get past him! Now when I look back it doesn't seem that hard, but the game is still a majorly fun nostalgia blast.

I haven't actually played this game since like 1998; I haven't seen a copy, nor does anyone I know own one. I'm a little upset that they didn't allow the DS to play GB and GBC games either.

My apt was robbed two days ago and they stole my wii, 6 games, my ds, and 15 ds games, but they left me all my gba and gamecube games, so I still at leat have some old zelda games to get through this awkward transition.

i do this every so often, usually after i beat a LoZ game i try and forget where i left it so months or maybe even a year later i find it and i dont remember how to beat it as well so its a challenge all over again.

I have the same prob, I beat both Ages/Seasons a couple months ago, & now I can't find them. I'm working on ALttp rite now, & I finally got my hands on MC. So I'm doing great.

yeah i love the feeling of playing link's awakening over 4 years it just feels good when you say "hey I remember that" or "last time i did that it took me 10 tries now it seems so easy"
