Also Tetris. =D
Still got the original one with my Black and White Gameboy
As do I, although it's not the original.

[mode=classicgamecollector]

The original was for NES, which I have as well. Anyway, it was ported to be the pack-in for the original "grey brick" Gameboy. I don't own the grey brick, myself, but I do have the black "sport" model and the translucent model.

NES version:

Gameboy port:

As you can see, there are differences, but it doesn't affect the gameplay.

[/classicgamecollector]

Ah, OK. Bit of a temporary blip for me there, but either way, I do consider Tetris to be one of the finest things the Soviet Union gave us.

In terms of which GB I have though, I've currently got a working Gameboy Pocket (Clear) which I've recently started collecting games for, but I do also have one of the originals, albiet missing the battery and screen covers, and is yellow with black buttons rather than grey with purple buttons.

I have an original grey brick Game Boy somewhere, a green Game Boy Colour, and a Tribal SP. Used to have a black Advance, but that was broken when I headbutted it in a fit of rage.

Oh, hey, I'm not the only one that broke a GBA by headbutting it in anger at a game. I have an original Game Boy that I bought from a charity shop for a tenner, came with Tetris and Tetris 2, then I bought The Pokemon Trading Card Game a short while later. I think that my Yellow Game Boy Colour is at my dad's with a Yu-gi-oh game in it...probably Dark Duel Stories. My SP was stolen along with all games bar Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Super Mario World, and Pokemon Crystal (which I can't find now). I also have a black DSlite with an L button that you have to press a lot before it will work properly, a PSP 1000 (it dented a wall when I threw it), a 3DS, an Xbox 360, Wii PS3, and my dad has an Amiga with a load of games on it (Cannon Fodder, Wizkid, Eye of the Beholder, and suchlike)...oh yeah, and there is a PS2 gathering dust in the front room.

I'm not going to even attempt to list all the systems I have collected. The system count was roughly 15 different systems and the game count being well over 500, with about 300 being NES and Atari VCS.

Need to update my inventory, though.

My mum found a Commodore 64 up in the loft. =D Never tried seeing if it would work, though, it probably wont. Still in its original box and everything.

Has the forum suddenly become slow for anyone?

Nice find- reminds me of when I found my Dad's old ZX Spectrum in a box in the Garage a few weeks back

Considering the fact that it is in the original packaging, it either never got used much or it was well taken care of. I would venture to say that it would, in-fact, still work. Those old machines can take a beating. Some are even fine after exposure to high moisture or even submersion.

Although, if it does still work there is a good chance that any software or games are long gone. So unless you know how to program in BASIC, it won't be very amusing. Still cool, none-the-less.

The C64 was more of a computer than a game system. I have a TI-99/4A and a Commodore VIC-20. The TI-99/4A is fairly interesting to play with, but I've never had the VIC-20 hooked up to mess with it.

If there is anything that resembles phone wires in the box, that would be how early internet access worked. I'm not sure if the C64 had this feature, but I know the VIC-20 did. Essentially you plugged a land line phone into the C64 somehow and you had to manually dial out like a dial-up modem would do in a PC before broadband was widely available. Pretty much all you could do was use email, if I am correct.
