      The warehouse manager felt so bad about it afterwards, he apologized and worked out a deal where the payments were more lax to help out Iwata.

      1. The Game Gear's design was copied from a from a fake color handheld project that Nintendo R&D cooked up as a "but you can work with us on this next year" face-saving gesture to try to let Citizen down easy after the boss said "I don't care that you signed a preliminary agreement. We're going with Sharp for the LCD." (And, wouldn't you know it, the Game Gear's color screen was made by Citizen.)

      they have no idea that it wasn't that revolutionary. LCD grey screen handhelds had been around all thru the 80s; why this one cost 5 times as much? a lot of gamers ignored it while SF2 was in the arcades and the 16bit revolution was happening at home.

    • @plasmaastronaut

      ​@leonwilcox-tp2jg there was nothing revolutionary about the tech. The Epyx lynx was designed before the GB and was far more powerful, but Epyx went bankrupt and sold the lynx to Atari which delayed the release by about a year.
      Nintendo just realized there was a hole in the market because batteries were holding the market back, so they designed something with early 80s tech to minimize power consumption.
      I understand there were only 2 games worth playing on GB, Tetris and Pokemon, or 3 if u count SML. In Europe Pokemon didn't sell much, so the only game worth playing was tetris; which meant it was effectively a one game system.
      'other game' sale there, more because when u have a catridge system u feel u ought to own other games, but on playing them 99% were lacklustre i.e. not worth playing. To my mind only Dr Mario was worth playing and that was a tetris varient. I was much more interested in 16bit games as were all my friends.
      The catridge aspect effectively wasn't used, and was ineffective when used.
      It was also a massive con; my friend with a GB got hold a pirate cartridge that had 30 GB games on; which just illustrated that GB wasn't revolutionary wrt tech, the catridge thing was a sales gimmick that muppet kids fell for. When we played them we realized they were all crap because the GB was inherently insipid at running games.
      The only thing mentioned about the GB at school was tetris score, who could get 200 lines, that was it, and this wasn't mentioned much.
      Aside tetris and pokemon, GB was a 'look cool' item rather than a fun item, similar to how adults at the time would get their mobile phones out and place them on tables 'look at me! I've got a mobile phone!'

That afternoon, my mother took me to our local pub and I met a girl there who was playing a Gameboy as well. She had Tetris. We swapped GameBoys and played each others games until it was time for me to go home. I didn't get Tetris for it until years later, though.

      If it's oxidation from sitting around or corrosion from water damage you may be able to fix it by opening it up and giving it a good cleaning. Isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush and some cotton swabs will take care of most stuff. If you have corrosion, neutralize with white vinegar, then clean with alcohol. For thick oxidation, an abrasive like a fiberglass pen works wonders. If it's having trouble powering on, you may need to clean inside the power switch. There are a few ways to go about that. The best way is to desolder the metal shield over it and directly clean the contacts with a fiberglass pen, but if you can't do that, trying to spray some contact cleaner in there and then working it back and forth might be enough to get it going again. Game Boys were built rock-solid so most of their issues are just related to being dirty. I have managed to fix a lot of broken ones from eBay. If you have any buttons that don't work as well as they used to, I would also recommend going over the contacts on the board with a fiberglass pen as that's usually from oxidation as well. They're pretty simple to work on compared to home consoles or anything DS or newer.
      I would apply the same tools and techniques to any cartridges you can't get to play or that only works every few times (don't blow in them). Open them up, clean with alcohol and/or fiberglass pen on the pins. Works every time. If you don't have the Y bit screwdriver for the Game Boy or the Game Bit for the cartridges, both are in the iFixit Mako kit in various sizes and that's what I'd recommend most people get. You can also mod better screens into these things if you want. Helps a lot with being able to see.

    Some ppl don't undetstand that with such simple Monochrome graphics, it didnt need more than 8Kb of RAM. The graphics data waa tiny, so other than the bits of game code the data that needed to be loaded to RAM was miniscule.
    Go play Zelda Link's Awakening & you'll understand what can truly be done with just 8Kb of RAM. Also remember that this is KiloBITS, not KiloBytes, so it's literally equivalent to just 1 Kilobyte of RAM, or the size of a small text file.
    Text actually took up more space than the graphics data did back then! It's why games with heavy dialogue like RPG's took up so much data & required bigger ROM chips on the carts, thus often making them more expensive than other games. It's why SNES RPG's were so expensive back in the day when stored on game carts vs CD.
    CD's could store around 700MB of data! That was a HUGE increase over the standard ROM chips. It's why so many game companies chose the PS1 to release their RPG's on back in that era.
    Nintendo shoehorned themselves out of the RPG market by choosing to use Cart media for the N64, and why they tried to release the 64DD. Losing Squaresoft as a game company was a huge blow. They realized their mistake pretty quicky.
    To me the N64 was their first real failure as a game company... Yes I know it was popular, but mainly becauee most kids got one for Xmas & simply didn't know any better.
    Nintendo saw the failure of FMV based games & were scared off from CD based media. But as we know now, that was simply a misunderstanding. It wasn't the CD Media that was the problem, it was the FMV based games. As we clearly know, FMV based games are just not fun to play. They don't work well to base the gameplay itself on the video playback.
    Road Avenger was one of the very few FMV games that was actually entertaining.

      @@Imgema Lol exactly. He would have needed days if not weeks to do so.
      I know it's just a movie, but it is pretty ridiculous to imply that in a matter of moments he could code a working version of Tetris on a system he's never even seen before, even with the basic game data he had on the disc. Not to mention creating the graphical assets for the game, otherwise there would be nothing to display on screen 😅.
      A bit off topic, but Nintendo was able to store more graphical data in later games using a technique known as bank switching, allowing more graphical data to be accessed at a time than the usual limit of 32KB per memory bank. Usually there was just a single memory bank dedicated to graphics but bank switching allowed for some pretty cool effects & more detailed games.
      I believe Mike Tyson's Punch Out was one of the first games to use bank switching, with character assets being stored in multiple memory banks being accessed at the same time, which allowed for the larger character sprites you see on screen. It was a pretty ingenious idea at the time.
