Greetings human gamers, howâs it going...
Recently, I had to go downtown to run a personal errand, and I stumbled upon this kind of flea market where I found this boxed Nintendo GAMEBOY SP. The seller was asking for $10, but I managed to snatch it from his hands for $5. I wasnât sure if it worked, but I liked it because it came with the original box.
He gave it to me without a charger, so I went to a friend's place to see if he could give it some power, and to my surprise, the Gameboy Advance SP turned on.
Inside the box were these games, and I thought, âWow, what a great deal!â But my excitement didnât last long because when I inserted a game cartridge, the Gameboy wouldnât read any game.
Iâm not sure at the moment if the problem is with the Gameboy or with the games since they were pretty dusty, and my friend has been too busy to check if it can be repaired. So for now, I have to wait or try to fix it myself.
Among the games, I want to highlight this PokĂ©mon cartridge which looks legit (I mean in terms of its rarity), so maybe it could be worth some money. As for the others, thereâs one cartridge that seems to have multiple games in one. I think the PokĂ©mon cartridge might belong to an older console, and the others seem to be for this one.
The Gameboy has light, sound, and apparently all the buttons work, but Iâll have to wait to see how this story unfolds. If I manage to fix it so it works, I could definitely say it was an investment. And well, if not, then I basically lost the equivalent of buying a piece of cake and a soda, haha. Either way, I think itâs super cute and of very good quality. After cleaning it up, it actually looks pretty good considering this handheld console came out back in 2003. Wow.
Overall, I feel like it was a good purchase for the nostalgia. Besides, something must still work either the games or the Gameboy itself. I don't think I have that much bad luck, haha.
One more thing Iâd like to add is that physical games are slowly disappearing in this century since everything is going digital, and honestly, I donât feel like those digital games really belong to you. But anyway, if I manage to fix it, Iâll make a post about it.
Something I really liked about gaming in the past was that we could actually collect our CDs with games or even these much older cartridges. I also feel like the components were of better quality and lasted for many years.
To wrap things up, I think itâs definitely worth owning this console sometimes even as an investment since items like this in good condition can really increase in value and are highly prized by collectors.
Now tell me, what do you think about my purchase? Oh, and if I see good support, I might get motivated to start a series of buying gaming stuff from the streets, but thatâs all up to you guys.
Thatâs all for now, friends! Thank you so much for your time, and as always, I remind you to learn something new, exercise, and chase YOUR HAPPINESS.
Blessings, and have a great day!

Saludos humanos gamers como van...
Hace poco tuve que ir al centro de la ciudad a hacer una vuelta personal y me encontré en este tipo de mercado de pulgas este GAMEBOY SP en caja de la marca nintendo. El vendedor me estaba pidiendo 10 dólares pero se lo pude quitar de la mano por 5 dolares, no se si estaba bueno , pero me gusto porque tenia la caja original.
Ăl me lo entrego sin cargador, asĂ que fui donde un amigo haber si me le podĂa dar corriente y para mi sorpresa el **Gameboy Advance sp **prendiĂł.
Dentro de la caja estaban estos juegos y yo dige wow que buen negocio, pero la emociĂłn me duro poco ya que al momento de ingresar el cartucho del juego el gameboy no lee ningĂșn juego.
No se al momento si esta malo el gameboy o los juegos ya que tenĂan buen polvo y mi amigo anda muy ocupado como para mirar si se puede reparar, asĂ que me toca esperar o intentar repararlo yo.
Dentro de los juegos recalco este de pokemon que si esta bueno ( me refiero a rareza del cartucho ), quizĂĄs puede valer un dinero y bueno los demĂĄs hay uno que tiene como varios juegos en un solo cartucho. Creo que ese cartucho del juego de pokemon puede ser de otra consola mas vieja y los otros deben ser de esta consola.
El gameboy tiene luz, sonido y al parecer todas los botones le funcionan pero tocara esperar haber cual es el desenlace de esta historia. Ya que si se repara para que funcione podrĂa decir que fue una inversiĂłn y bueno pues si no pues perdĂ la compra de un pastel y un refresco jeje, igual me parece sĂșper bonito y de muy buena calidad, incluso despuĂ©s de limpiarlo se ve en buen estado y eso que esta consola portatil salio en el año 2003 wow.
En general siento que fue una buena compra por la nostalgia, ademas algo debe de estar bueno o los juegos o el gameboy no creo que tenga tan mala suerte jeje. Algo para añadir es que se esta perdiendo en este siglo los juegos fĂsicos ya que todo es digital y creo que en realidad esos juegos no te pertenecen. Pero igual si lo areglo traerĂ© un post sobre ello.
Algo que me gustaba del pasado en el gaming era que si podĂamos coleccionar nuestros cd con juegos o estos mucho mas viejos que eran esta especie de cartuchos, como ademas siento que los componentes eran de mejor calidad y duraban muchos años.
Para finalizar considero que si vale mucho la pena tener esta consola, a veces hasta por inversiĂłn ya que este tipo de artĂculos en buen estado se pueden valorizar mucho y son muy preciados por los coleccionistas.
Ahora cuéntame que te pareció mi compra? ah si veo buen apoyo me animo a empezar una serie de comprar cosas gaming por la calle, pero todo depende.
Eso es todo amigos, muchas gracias por tu tiempo y como siempre te recuerdo aprender algo nuevo, hacer deporte y buscar TU FELICIDAD.
Bendiciones, que tengas un bonito dĂa.
