I used to finish Tetris within 10 minutes in the mode where you start
with a lot of blocks already on the screen. I loved the different little
Rockets and the space-shuttle. After the gameboy was lost for a few
years, I bought a GBPocket. A great little gadget with the best design
of all game-boys. I like the case better than the case of the CGB. I
also lost my Tetris game. I used to love Tennis with the Link-cable
against my girlfriend.
I was very dissapointed with Nintendo when they changed the
Link-conectors. I had to pay 3 times as much to be able to play a
link-game. The litte converter-pieces you need for GBPocket are very
hard to get in Holland and rather expensive (£ 6.- each, and you need 2)
Now you think that £ 12.- is not that much, but I think it is when it's
for something you don't even should have to buy imho.
At the ECTS I was also rather disapointed with the quality of the
colour-screen. And I heard that it suffers from slow processor speed. Is
that right? is it slowing down some games in colour?

My GBP can be found on my toilet. I have Wario Bomberman in it. This is
the comon bomberman. I think I play the first 3 levels at least 2 times
a day... depending on what I ate the day before..

I like these bit's of information, I would like to collect these little
bits for my PDF-book.. I'm also thinking of making a games-enceclopedy
in PDF-format. I know this is impossible to since there are a zillion
games around and every day there are about 150 new games hitting the
market. But I would like to get a file with the most comlete list of
games on all platforms.

Cheers,

DEnnis..
