Did the caption for the Simon mention anything about Ralph Baer? Title: Re: Video Games in a Historical Museum Post by: Tynstar on November 30, 2005, 11:33:53 AM C&C Tiberian Sun!!!!!

Actually they are not GBC games. Those ones where the Gameboy versions. In anycase as you said it is pretty cool. I remember Den saying something about this before.

Yeah, that's what I said. Title: Re: Video Games in a Historical Museum Post by: Izret101 on November 30, 2005, 01:46:41 PM Oops i misread what you said.
I thought i was confirming an assumption you had. Title: Re: Video Games in a Historical Museum Post by: CatchFiveBats on November 30, 2005, 04:21:52 PM I would love to have that Gameboy carrying case CIB. I have a Gameboy and Gameboy battery pack that are both CIB, and that case would complete the set (the battery pack and carrying case are both advertised on the Gameboy box).
