I liked the crisp look the Game Boy color had, but it wasn't capable of the graphics the Nomad could produce, and you could only play it in a lit-up environmnet, so yeah... Nomad all the way.


EDIT: You forgot Turbo Express and the Atari Lynx on your list.
Turbo Express might be right up there with the Nomad (also had a tv tuner).


It's one thing to perfer the screen quality, but your argument lost its effect with me when you compared the graphics of a portable Sega to a CGB...well, of COURSE it will have better graphics, but as you yourself pointed out that isn't what this thread is even about. Anyway, I loved the CGB screen...maybe because of all the memories associated with it, I'm not sure. All I know is, having owned each of these systems, The screen of the GBC served its purpose the best of all for its time. It really gave it that nostalgic, almost NES-like feel to a portable..if only it had a backlight

Game Gear no doubt. I was addicted to those sonic games.

I think it was released in America in 90 or 91.

Anyway, the Nomad screen was pretty sweet, if battery consuming.

Because while it was not introduced in the 90s, it existed and was popular at said time.

I remember when the game gear was around and I was all because I never really got one . I never really asked for it either. Too bad oh well.

I dont know why..but I liked the Game Boy Color. I played my cousins and it was coolio

I've always wanted a portable. I'm still wating for one.

It's possible that they use or he thinks they use the same type of screen.

Alas, I can't pick one because I haven't tried them all to see how the screens look.

GameBoy Color pride, man! I took that thing everywhere with me back in the day.

I remember the days of fighting for a good spot to play so you could actually have some light. It was worth it so I could get my daily fix of Pokemon and Mario! Good games, good times!

Neo Geo Pocket Color was amazing, definately the best until the backlit GBA SP.

Waaa! I don't know which one to vote. GB was my first handheld and i liked a lot of games of it. But in the other hand GBC had all pkmns G/S/C, TCG and Mario tennis...can be multi-volting enabled?

Neo Geo Pocket, it may not be backlit, but it's great and sharp and everything the GBA's had should been.

My vote goes to GameGear/ nomad, backlit, color and you can use the TV TUNER!
