(IMPORTANT!!!)
I've had this for quite a few years now, that's why it does not look brand spanken new in the above photograph!!!

This product does not emit light of its own, so the standard review format will not be used and the product will not be assigned a rating. This website is mostly about light-emitting products, but occasionally, you'll see non-light emitting products on it too if it's something I really like.

Also, I'm not a reviewer of video games or video game consoles, and don't play one on TV or on the internet -- so please bear with me here.

This is the Gameboy Advance by Nintendo.
Its purpose is to allow you to play any of a number of video games; it's on this website because I've played some Digimon games on the product...actually, Digimon games are the ONLY ones I've played on it to date!!!


Size of product w/hand to show scale SIZE


I'd be lying if I didn't say that I was 45 and still liked Digimon -- but I like SpongeBob SquarePants and Viva Piñata as well.

To use this product, plug a "game pack" into the opening on the upper edge of the console, then slide the power switch on the lower left edge to the "on" position (to the right), and from that point, gameplay will differ depending on what game you're playing.

Here's the Gameboy Advance User Manual in .PDF format.

To change the batteries in the Gameboy Advanced, unclip & remove the battery door.

Wait until Digimon Data Squad is on TV and Shinegreymon Burst Mode is about to fire his Torrid Weiß, then huck it at the TV so that it gets melted...O WAIT!!! YOU'LL NEED THAT!!! So just set it aside instead.

Remove the two used AA cells from the compartment, and dispose of or recycle them as you see fit.

Insert two new AA cells into the compartment, orienting them so that their flat-ends (-) negatives face the springs for them in each chamber.

Place the battery door back on, and be dome with it.
Aren't you glad that you didn't chuck that battery door at your boob tube now?

Both files are somewhat limited in audio quality; this is because I captured the sound with my camera's mic (with the camera set to video/movie recording mode), and used a computer program to strip the audio (sound) component from the resulting .AVI files and subsequently saved the audio as .WAV files.

I cannot provide this video in other formats, so please do not ask.








TEST NOTES:
Product was given to me by my sister when I was in a convalescent center recovering from brain surgery in late-2002.

Product was made in China.
A product's country of origin really does matter to some people, which is why I published it on this web page.
