This group is for the discussion of the Nintendo Game Boy range
(including the Game Boy, the Game Boy Pocket, the Game Boy Color, and
the Game Boy Advance, plus any future handhelds from Nintendo bearing
the "Game Boy" name) and its games and peripherals.
Links to UK focused web sites, relating to the GameBoy are welcome,
but should not be repeated more than once a month.
Reviews, hints, tips and cheats are welcome, however spoilers should
be protected with spoiler space of between 10 and 25 lines. Long
reviews or solutions (100 lines or more) should be placed on a web
page, and its URL posted.
Discussions related to piracy are strongly discouraged as they tend to
quickly become inflammatory and should be avoided.
