System Info

The gameboy: The gameboy is a handheld video game system that can fit in
your pocket. In the back there is a slot for games. There’s a screen and some
buttons. It’s 3 inches wide. It’s 5 inches long. And it’s 1 inch high. This system
runs on 2 double A(AA) batteries. You put them in at the bottom on the back of
your gameboy.
The buttons: On the top of the gameboy there are some buttons. The A and B
buttons are the ones you use most often when you’re playing a game. In most
games A is jump. B is usually something else that’s different for all games.
There’s a direction pad. That usually moves you in whatever direction you want
your person to go. It also scrolls down when you have a list of what you can do.
On the side that faces you when you play a game there is a slot. That is where
you insert your headphones if you have any. On the left side there’s the sliding
button thing.
That controls the sound level on your gameboy. There’s also place on the left
side for an extension cord. I’ll talk about that later. On the right side there’s a
switch. If you’re smart enough to read it it says on and off. So obviously that
button turns your gameboy on and off.
Games: Games go into the slot at the back. Put them in so that the picture
faces you and it’s not upside down. That’s simple so you should be able to
figure that out. When you play a game use the direction pad, A, and B. For most
games if you’re in the middle of a level and you press start it will pause your
game. In most games to save your game you go to start or select.
Accessories: Here are some accessories. One good accessory is a connector
cord. This allows you to connect your gameboy to another person’s gameboy
and you can fight eachother or whatever your game lets you do. Note: You both
have to have the same game or type of game. For example you have to have
the same game unless it’s something like Zelda whereas you just need two
Zelda games. Antoher good accessory to have is a light. It connect to the
extension cord place and it’s a light that shines on your gameboy if it’s too dark
somewhere. Note: This uses your battery. One other accessory is a handipack
color. This is a magnifying glass and a light at the same time. It just slides
over your gameboy. It has stereo sound too.
Well that’s pretty much all I have to tell you about gameboy. I could tell you
much more about specific games but that would be a whole nother FAQ. So I
hope you liked it.
