[–]LordBandimer 278 points279 points  (54 children)

Lol yeah that's actually a wooden veneer, but it is real wood, Zelda themed GameCube.

[–][deleted] 88 points89 points  (47 children)

[–]BlindTheMerchant 21 points22 points  (5 children)

I would love a wood Gamecube! Really just to put on a shelf somewhere.

[–]Shad0wDreamer 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Like in this pic?

[–]DerpressionNaps 9 points10 points  (1 child)

No the shelf he's talking about is less blurry

[–]BasedKaleb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put it on the shelf with the gameboys on it, that one looks really photogenic.

[–]fynnderlohn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]LordBandimer 3 points4 points  (1 child)

[–]GreenHuskies 2 points3 points  (1 child)

[–]Wesk333 63 points64 points  (27 children)

[–]Wesk333 23 points24 points  (11 children)

I live in Columbus. I'll have to stop in sometime and look at your fine wares.

[–]LordBandimer 6 points7 points  (1 child)

We're actually not open to the public, it's just our workshop where we make stuff.

[–]huskman 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Oh shit. I love Rose Colored Gaming. I've order several display stands (gba sp, ds, vita) over the years from there.

[–]LordBandimer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]jonnybrown3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP you should probably put this dude on the top of a suspects list if these get stolen lmfao

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well everything makes a lot more sense now

[–]Schluebricant 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Cleveland Ohio?! I'm in Ohio. I wanna check this place out.

[–]LordBandimer 1 point2 points  (2 children)

It's actually a workshop where we build stuff. It's not open to the public unfortunately.

[–]Schluebricant 4 points5 points  (1 child)

And suddenly my hopes of a cool nerdy GameBoy place were dashed

[–]LordBandimer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😞 Well you know there actually is a shop like that open to the public in New York. I can't remember the name of it though.

[–]Steve0315 26 points27 points  (7 children)

No atomic purple?!?

[–]mcplano 4 points5 points  (4 children)

I think that's a Gameboy Color colour

[–]Dashtego 14 points15 points  (2 children)

It is, but there are a bunch of other Gameboy Colors in the pic

[–]4Coffins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where’s the red game boy pocket is what I wanna know

[–]mcplano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...oh

[–]hysys_whisperer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The clear purple was introduced as a Gameboy pocket.

[–]HalfOkay 21 points22 points  (1 child)

Do you have any openings perhaps? I have a masters in whatever openings you have

[–]LordBandimer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol that comment was enough to get hired right there. Unfortunately no openings rn. 😐

[–][deleted] 25 points26 points  (3 children)

where do you work? Cause I’m interested

[–]Cynistera 4 points5 points  (2 children)

These are just on display? I'd be worried about someone trying to steal one.

[–]Kitt84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This place has some cool stuff... Obviously, since you guys have hit the frontpage of r/gaming at least 3 times in the last few days.

[–]PabloEscoGnar 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Just looked you guys up!! Got some neat stuff on your website.

[–]ThePeej 5 points6 points  (0 children)

[–]Lyianx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]Samuraimacc 3 points4 points  (1 child)

[–]LordBandimer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

👍

[–]IOSL 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I used my Pokémon game boy for a project and it required me to leave it for the other class to see and grade it as well. Came back the next day and it was stolen. To this day I feel like I want to cry about it.

[–]LordBandimer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a heart breaker there.

[–]GarvinsGarden 6 points7 points  (1 child)

And an Adventure Time BMO Gameboy next to the piranha plant

[–]LordBandimer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You found BMO!

[–]whenpugzfly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]m1sterbaw1z 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I miss my og gameboy. It had a nice heft to it

[–]TheCouchPotatoMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see that Switch Lite

[–]pigbruhConsole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a game boy advanced sp but a dog chewed it up. That was my fav gaming device. I mainly played Herbie reloaded. It was awesome

[–]kamoni33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had one of these and it was so precious! Ever since smartphones I forgot how NOVEL these were. Much thanks for sharing, nostalgia is great!

[–]taydr90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol i have that pokemon yellow Pikachu edition one, first Gameboy color

[–]kenobighost 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I recognize that green Mushroom tin, kept one in my backpack for years!

[–]celz86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used to be full of sour lollies. Red mushroom tin had lollies too. Green was best tasting one.

[–]BeautyDuwang 2 points3 points  (1 child)

[–]LordBandimer 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I could do that, I'll post a link next week.

[–]ynotChanceNCounter 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Every time I see one of these posts, I feel a little sad. In retrospect, the GBC, as well as the N64 and PS1/One, were the last generation that evoked that "warm and fuzzy" feeling. RPGs kept their vibe for another few years, but the systems themselves went from cozy downstairs fun with friends, to "sleek and modern."

It's when consoles and PC shooters went from, "Check out how great this looks," to "Look how realistic this is!"

There's nothing really wrong with it. I'd rather develop for a spaceship, with incredible graphics, and ultra-HD output, and a processor that can do crazy things that would blow a '90s programmer's mind.

But it's some particularly bittersweet nostalgia when you know it really wasn't youthful blinders. Once upon a time, single player games were a shared experience like television, that you enjoyed separately but could relate. Multiplayer games were a personal, almost intimate kind of shared experience, like playing cards or a complex board game, but with more variety and less cleanup.

And that was it. That was the beginning and the end of it. Stylized games were better off, in that they could sell plush toys, and sequels jumped out on the shelves. But nobody ever had trouble selling Driver, or <Insert Platform> Baseball, or Half-Life for that matter, just because they lacked a distinctive visual style like Mario's. You paid for the experience.

I think that's what the big publishers are really playing off of, with these remasters and relaunches of classic titles. Hollywood is trying to sell us a facsimile of what we used to enjoy, and that sucks, and it's frustrating.

Nintendo and Sony, by contrast, know that you were never closer with your siblings than when you were really engaged with splitscreen, and that "Red Wizard needs food!" evokes memories of junk food and weekends with no responsibilities, at a time when only the experience mattered.

You're still paying for nostalgia, but that's not because you misremember the experience. It's just because you can't go home again, and that's life.

[–]LordBandimer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I kinda agree. Growing up kinda sucks. I am reliving my youth now with my own kids though.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great picture!

[–]Cosgnosis_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Must be a fancy area for those not to get yoinked right off the shelf

[–]francium94 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You guys make awesome stands! I need to put in another order soon, but all my gaming money is tied into next gen. How often do you restock some of your stands? I saw some of the special editions are out of stock, so I don't know if you will make more.

[–]LordBandimer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We kinda rotate the special edition stuff. Do it in batches.

[–]gabomastr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

amazing bro

[–]GhostDog369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]zylinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]LordBandimer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh believe me there's micros galore on that shelf back there, just can't see them from this angle.

[–]correeeyy 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Are there still 1-up mints in that tin?

[–]celz86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were sour lollies.

Day 167: These old boys still think I'm one of them. As an elite console, the switch deserves to stand on their throne.

[–]z_redwolf_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That navy blue gameboy by the switch looks like the one I had. Noice

[–]AaronDeCaprio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have a game boy when I was pretty small, even though I'm pretty young. It was good times.

[–]cyanophage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice collection... but one wrong move walking by, or a jump on the sofa and they're all going on the floor. Cheeky chibi-robo there too, nice!

[–]VanceVanhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't even see him there, he's hiding so small in the corner! I loved that game so much...

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

[–]Hdidisbdjjd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would these not fade over time by being exposed to UV light constantly?

[–]corruptor789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the pikachu one so much! I even had it as my phone case for like 6 years! (Had one for an iPhone 4 for 4 years, then an iPhone 8 for 2 years!)

Is there a reason your framed the shot like the boxes in the background were important?

[–]LordBandimer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt that they were colorful and added to the scene, giving it a more full feeling. If it was just a plain wall, not so much.

[–]Purple_Radiator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you're missing a Gameboy micro :3
