Pros: This is more than a game, it is a creative application, where you can take literal photographs in 8-bit black and white form. But... This is more than a creative application, it's also a game! A very very good game! And also just plain old FUN! Boundless modes of creativity here, from decoration, to stamps, to unlockable album pics, to an entire DJ mode, and several minigames like G&W Ball, a vertical shooter, a button mashing runner, all of which you can put your face into. Several modes and features, like making animations set to music, all within menus and folders with tons of personality and incredible presentation to them. And my favorite part of all, you can make your own GAMES! Well, sorta, there's this mode called 'HotSpot', that lets you put hidden buttons behind specific spots on a pic of yours in your album, if you click one of these spots you could make a number of actions happen, like moving to a different picture, creating a sound, an effect, etc. And by piecing all of these elements together, you could make your very own games! I made several HotSpot games for friends and family to play, and they made several for me to play, this was a super fun social game.

And I didn't even mention the Game Boy Printer! You could print anything you took a photo of or drew or decorated in here, print from the unique Game Boy Printer peripheral that took 8000 batteries, but didnt' require ink for its paper rolls! Hah! They were fun little prints that you could sticky anywhere you'd want, good times

Cons: WHO ARE YOU RUNNING FROM?

What it means to me: As you could probably guess from the pros section, I had a lot of fun with this one. Friends, family, we all shared photos of each other, made games, played around with this device for years and years and years. It's a very special game. Thanks, Hip.

(side note: this is the game that introduced me to Pokemon, as several of the monsters were included as stamps in the game, including Mew!!)
