    I always remember getting excited when Nintendo announced the game boy camera was going to be compatible with perfect dark on the n64, so you could make characters out of yourself and friends. Awesome for multiplayer.
    But then they got cold feet and took out the feature out of fears of kids practicing shooting their school friends etc. apparently the mode is still in the code!
    But it put me off buying one back then. :(

      we "yanks" as you like to say larry (lol) where under a lot of pressure with our video games at time due to the school shootings..in particular the columbine massacre which was not helped when it became well know that harris and kleboild where huge gamers and avid doom players and had modded quake maps to resemble their school so thats kinda what gave nintendo cold feet

    It's really giving me the heebies-jeebies. Just something about the way it animates pictures and all those random doodles and bizarre pictures and animations.
    It's like if Cyriak was the consultant for this game/software It's really making me nervous for some reason.

    On the topic of disturbing images did anyone else have the misfortune of opening the book Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark? No joke I was scared to go upstairs alone for months after seeing some of those images. On one particularly bad night I got like 3 hours of sleep because I was too busy sweating my ass off in fear under like 4 bed sheets because I was so damn scared. Don't get me wrong the stories themselves weren't bad, save for one or two, but the illustrations were among the scariest images I've seen to this day.

    Oh, and dear all of us ashens fans; I've recently discovered that if you're in the DJ menu and in the mode where you can scratch on the record and what not, by pressing select it brings up a keyboard that allows you to configure the background beat and music. It's actually quite advanced for just being a little toy thing.

    I remember getting one these brand new at the store for surprisingly only $10 back in the day and I've never regretted it. The Running game was extremely addictive from what I remember and the ball game actually became kinda fun when it got to levels that made the juggling extremely fast. My favorite thing though was making stop motion looping animations with LEGO figures and clay and then making my own DJ mix for it to play to. So much simple fun from what was essentially a cheap webcam.

    Dug mine out a while ago with the intention of selling. Found my camera had pics of my cat that died a few years ago on it so didn't want to let it go then. Also, I had left batteries in the printer which were now leaking all over it leaving a crystal like mess. Still had some printer paper left in it's box though all sealed up. It's kinda weird how I got such a nostalgic feeling for the camera though. It's quite a fun little thing. I kinda felt like the 3DS was paying a little bit of a homage to it with some of it's camera games and functions.

    I liked seeing the GB Printer in action here. I always wondered how it went. I still have my old blue GB Camera somewhere though I don't know if the save battery has died yet. I never had the printer but I remember figuring out a way to transfer pictures from it to PC, from which I could print them on a regular printer if I wanted. I took a "snapshot" of the camera's save file using a GameShark (Action Reply in EU), then loaded it in a GameBoy tile data viewer -- all my photos were there, including some deleted ones if I'm remembering right. You can also transfer them to a computer using a DOS-only program that emulates a GB Printer using a link cable wired to the parallel port, and saves everything "printed" to it as a .BMP file.
    Also, if you rig something to hold the camera steady and have red, green and blue filters, you CAN take color photos. Take identical photos with each filter, transfer to a computer, and combine them into a single color picture in Photoshop/GIMP/Paint.NET/whatever.

    I remember wanting the Game Boy just for the the camera and printer! I wanted to take pictures and play with the toy thingies. I also remember reading in the instructions that you could plug the camera into a Super Game Boy to record your "animations" on VCR and even make them longer by having them on tape. Though, I imagine that'd create jumps in the video from each time you stopped and restarted the recording... Also wish I had the printer, but that never happened. You could print panoramas you took in the trick shot mode.
    I'm pretty surprised there where never any followups to the Game Boy Camera, no Color Camera, no GBA Camera. You could say the DSi and 3DS cameras are followups, and they are pretty nice, especially the 3DS letting you take 3D photos and video, but what about all the toys you had on the ol GB Camera? Would've been nice to have seen it evolve with more features, more pictures, more colors, more resolution, etc, but the GB Camera was one of a kind, the first and the last.

    I remember having the Game Boy Color game Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and you could unlock pictures that you could print with the Game Boy Printer. I never actually had the printer, though.

    It's really quite amazing that they put this many Easter eggs in a game like this, I wish people still did that kind of stuff. It might be "just a print game" but it looks like somebody put a lot of thought into it.

    Damn you Ashens, my router glitched and i lost connection so in the middle of the video it said that stupid message "An error has occurred, please try again later" so i thought it is one of your shinenigans and stared at it for 20seconds like an idiot in vain hope the video will resume.
    Somehow this is your fault so you should be ashamed!

    Loved that thing so much.
    Spent hours making short animations on it. Even the time lapse function was interesting, because while you could only take 30 shots, you could have them at really long intervals. If you kept it plugged in you could take 30 photos spread over 12hrs or something like that.

    Oooh. The moomin rating scale. Truly has Ashens brought out the big, somewhat blurry, guns for this review. In a less sassy tone, we never got these in our closest stores growing up. I remember hearing about them, but living in small rural areas sometimes means you don't get access to the newest tat you can bug your mom for. Still remember seeing the adverts in stuff like nintendo power or the commercials (Smile! You're on gameboy camera!).
    Fun fact: in the commercial, the newspaper the dad reads while being all grumpy has the articles "Astronauts save satellite" and "Drug charges dropped after key witness dies"
