I used to have one. Lost it though. :(

What was it? lol

Basically it let you print things from certain games, like your Pokemon stats in Red/Blue, the photos in Link's Awakening DX, etc.

Awsome! How about a gameboy Camera? :)

Never had one of those. Can't tell you about 'em. :cookie:

They look cool...kinda

No, they suck. Well, I guess they were cool for the 1990's, but man. The camera was black and white, and had a terrible resolution output. The output was sorta dot matrix which exaggerated the fact.

The printer could be used to print photos that could be made into photos. Photos printed out about the size of stamps. You could also print stats from various games, or "awards" once you beat certain parts of games.

I still have both the printer and the camera. :cool:

I have a camera and a Gameboy Printer. They both still work, too. The printer/camera was the coolest Nintendo accessory since, well, the Gameboy. I can still impress people by printing out a sticker with their picture on it.

The sticker paper was a very smart idea on Nintendo's part...

So the camera just took pictures and printed them?




Posted by GameMiestro

And letted you edit them, animate a series of pictures, put them in some minigames, and put them in a slideshow.

Wow they had stuff like that back then? Wish I knew about em :(

If you've ever seen a b&w picture printed on a receipt from a store, you've probably seen about the equivalent of GB Camera/Printer technology. I remember it was a fun thing for my friends and I to use at school.

In one of my Nintendo Power issues, I read about a band that GB camera's as synthesizers, it's pretty cool.

I had Mew's Pokedex entry stuck on the back of my GameBoy for ages, it was awesome.

[COLOR=Navy]Oh lawd, are we talking about Game Boy Camera/Printer in this thread? I should bust mine out some day and see if they still work. The printer was great, it took SIX AA batteries to work. You could get slightly colored paper and **** for it, too. I doubt that you could find it anywhere anymore, though.[/COLOR]

Let me know when you do that, I want to see it.
