Not having to work. I was 12 or 13 at the turn of the millennium. So not working was nice.
I probably miss my Gameboy Pocket (and Pokemon). Yeah the screen was tiny, not in color, and it wasn't backlit, and I have a Switch and Steam Deck and of course an smartphone, but...Idk, the Pocket was just so quaint and cute. I could just play that play Pokemon for hours on end, anywhere I wanted, without disturbing anyone. Which I did, sometimes even at school, which eventually got it confiscated by a teacher; I got it back at the end of the day.
It was such a paradigm change in gaming (Yes, I know the original GB or even Sega GameGear existed, but I knew few people who had one and they were bulky as all hell).
get a miyo mini
Ooh that's pretty neat and inexpensive. Thanks for sharing!
there's a whole market for these pocket sized (and non pocket) emulators. My MM+ w onion os is great for gba games. been grinding out the battle network series and this just lets pick up and go.
I recommend Retro Game Corps the most for recommending these types of systems.
