everything's gone green

heya

well, here we are. another, or yet another, post on a car wash that i recently had gone done, look you see. but with a slight difference. in a previous, quite possibly the last (before this) post i suggested or implied that i might go ahead and document it in a different format. by that i do indeed mean not present it in the greater good and glory of Commodore 64 mode. 

this, as it happens, is exactly what i have gone done. behold, or if you will enjoy, the usual sort of car wash pictures what i put here, but this time in Gameboy (Game Boy?) format.

of course it is the classical, traditional or first Gameboy format used, which means everything is presented in a way that is vaguely or decidedly green. no, i have no idea why the original Gameboy was all shades of green, possibly to do with battery life, or ease of design, or something. just how it all was, really. still is, i suppose. 

yes, i either had or have a Gameboy. not sure which is correct these days. it got packed away, then the boys found it, and sort of took it as a given that it was theirs. which is absolutely fine, for i was not using it. but, then, when they fired it up, yes, i had a play on it again, and found that it remained quite good fun to play with. 

some animated Gameboy footage from the carwash? or car wash? why not. 

a history of the Gameboy is probably not required from me. i doubt that i could tell the story proper, as that would need me to read up and research, which i am not going to do. from what i remember, though, it was the first portable, self-contained handheld game what you could change cartridges on. very handy, as you didn't have to buy a device per game. what was even better was when the pirates started making cartridges what had dozens of games on them for it. 

no, i am not going to describe the various stages of the car wash pictured here. for that you can look at any of the dozen or so (at a guess) other posts on the subject, in Commodore 64 mode. the purpose or point here, if anything, is to appreciate how the world looks from a Gameboy perspective. 

progression to different machines what did the same as the original Gameboy, but ostensibly better, was fairly quick. after the Gameboy of green came the "colour" version, then the advanced, then i think them what made it, nintendo (possibly) gave up on it and made other machines what more or less did exactly the same, with different colours and sounds. so far as i am aware all are pretty decent. 

right, that's that. actually this has not been so bad, or painful, to write. or look at. perhaps, as and when journeys take me past a car wash, i might look at using another, different format so as to document it all. well, possibly. 

be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
