Adapter. The Advantage isn't cool like you remember.
Agreed, not a fan of the 026.

hahaha I get it, I'm frustrated with plenty of stuff in this hobby...like when people call the standard version of a game "vanilla"...drives me up the fucking wall...but original Gameboys are LITERALLY "DMGs"...it's almost the scientific term for them. But on the other hand, it's like calling them Vanilla Gameboys....so I get it.
I don't like "DMG" because it's a example of people in a hobby feeling the need to have their own little language because it makes them feel cool. (Not saying that you're doing that, but I think that's how the term gained a foothold on places like Reddit.) No one said DMG until retrogaming went pseudo-mainstream with the hipster/millennial crowd, and nobody outside of that scene knows what a DMG is. People try to use the excuse that the term exists to avoid confusion as to which model someone is referring to, but that's horeshit.
There was only one Game Boy. Everything else is a "Game Boy ________", just as DZ outlined. And if you want to avoid clarification questions, just say "original Game Boy", because that is completely unambiguous. "DMG" only works if the person that you're talking to is just as much of a hipster millennial scumbag as you are.
- Great Greed is a fun little Namco turn-based RPG where everything is food-themed.
- Ultima: Runes of Virtue 1/2. Overhead action RPGs. Kind of rough/basic but okay if you like the franchise. Dungeons have lots of puzzles.
Make sure you don't read the thread title before responding.Survival Kids (GBC) is a decent RPG survival game, if you're into that kinda thing. Worth checking out.
When did this trend of referring to the Gameboy as the DMG start? I should go dig my MGB-101 out of the closet.

On topic, I was always a fan of the Konami games (Fall of the Foot, Operation C, Nemesis, etc.), though the re-released collections on GBC might make most of them somewhat obsolete a la Link's Awakening. Tetris Attack is always a winner.
"Gameboy (DMG, DMG-01, MGB-001 *** NOT AGS-001, AGS-101 or CGB-001) role playing games?"
How does Fall of the Foot, Operation C, Nemesis, Tetris Attack relate to Role Playing Games hmmm?
Survival Kids is actually listed as a RPG Survival game. Try to pay attention.
