Game Boy Advance. Actually all 3 variants (GBA, SP & Micro) are beautiful consoles.
I love how the SP looks. The original feels better in the hand but the clamshell looks so good and it feels great to open and close.
I'm tempted to get a foldable as my next phone because I miss that design.
I'm partial to the translucent version of the OG GBA.
God damn marketing! That picture makes it look like it had OLED before it was invented. Of course, these days you can make it actually look like that but it's ~$60 and you install it yourself.
It's a worthwhile mod. I prefer this form factor over the clamshell, but it needs a screen that you can see without 1000W of halogen bulbs around you.
Completely forgot I had this until seeing this image. Brain skipped straight to the SP.
I went from Glacier OG to Silver SP. Never got a Micro.
Oh yeah right... the Gameboy advance can legally be considered as a retro console...
Good pick!
