    this was a camera that you could put on your game boy and it would take pics, but they were in black & white and often grainy. did anyone else have one?

        No. The convenience store surveillance camera-quality look didn't impress me much. Realizing that I could draw what I was seeing better than what the camera could produce, I didn't find much reason to have one.

        ..but little did we know that they acted as a distant pre-cursor to the "wonderful" cell phone cameras of today. THOSE look great! :roll:

        If the DS had a camera attachment, at least you could use the stylus and touch screen to draw mustaches and sombreros on people.

              I tried one of them in My Wal*mart, and when I tried to take a picture, I'd get this retarded face of some fat person. There was 3 three retarded face when you do an error (Fat, Girraffe and kiss reject) I wondered what was up with that? I wouldn't want somthing that take pictures and shows somthing like that at you when you F*** up plus with the whole sticker thing , It was the start of those damm Sticker prints machines. OMFG the music is playing in my head. Thanks you made me think up that Damm music

                  And remember how you could get the printer to go with it too? :)
                  I was always desperate to own one but I never did in the end.

                    I love the GameBoy Camera, especially making short stop motion movies on it. I still have mine, in fact. I hope the make one for the DS!

                      Same here.

                      PS: I found a piece where you can have a GB Camera on Gameboy advance (in 32,768 colors 8)) I think this is the closest you're going to get to a GB Camera for DS.

                        I think I saw that same article. Didn't it have something to do with putting different colour filters over the camera?

                          Yea they were very grainy. When it first came out it was really cool, but with SP out and stuff, it seems real tacky and junky just because you can barely see what the hell you just took a photo of. I mess around with it from time to time. Mine is red but I wanted green :(

                              Ahhh..the GameBoy Camera!
                                [img]http://www.cenocide.de/_img/gbcam/signs/aldi.gif[/img]

                              One of my favourite gadgets of all time

                              I got 4 of them: a red one, a yellow one and two blue ones.

                              I bought so "many" because you can always only store 30
                              pictures on one Camera and when I'm walking around the
                              city in order to take some pictures, that just isn't enough

                              I also made a little "sub-page" on my website dedicated to
                              the GB-Cam. There are also some galleries containing pictures
                              I took with the GameBoy Camera.

                                Cenobite your pics came out nice!
                                How did you get it to move though?
                                You've inspired me to take mine out again :lol:
                                Good idea about keeping four.

                                  Nevermind, I just figured out how to do that. I didn't know you could do that!! Now I see why you'd carry around 4 :lol::oops: How did you get them onto your computer, though?

                                    Thank you very much ^^

                                    I also wrote a little "tutorial" on how to get the
                                    pics from the GB-Cam onto your PC.

                                    You can find it here.

                                    But as most of you probably won't understand
                                    German, I'll give a short explaination in english,
                                    too.

                                    All you need is a SNES, an Super GameBoy,
                                    a TV-Card in your PC and, of course, a GB Cam.

                                    [list=1]
                                  • Plug the GB Cam using the Super GameBoy into your SNES
                                  • Connect the SNES with your PC's TV-Card
                                  • Grab a few screenshots
                                  • Crop them and resize them correctly
                                    (GB Cam pictures use 128x112 at 4 shades of gray)
                                  • Enjoy Hope that helps..

                                      Haha, remember the commercial for it, where the teenager comes into the living room, and his father is like, reading the paper or something? The teen took a pic of him, and they both ended up laughing. At the end of the commercial, they'd do the little Candid Camera type music. . .

                                        To cenobite: Awsome, I think you changed my mind about the GBCam,
                                        So they have Aldis in Germany? Interesting and that's a nice colection of games there. And to finish in the words of Beavis and butthead.

                                          Hey thanks :)

                                          Yeah, there are Aldis in Germany. But that's not surprising
                                          if you consider, that it's two german brothers who invented
                                          that whole Aldi-Chain
                                          (Karl and The Paul Albrecht. The Name ALDI stands for
                                          ALbrecht DIscount.. but enough useless knowledge).


                                          I still have to upload some GB-Pictures. Maybe I will this
                                          weekend. The Cam's really a hell lotafun
