Re: A89: Re: 4-channel sound
I already have two GameBoys, well one GameBoy and one "Special Limited Edition Ice Blue" (whatever)
GameBoy Pocket, and I already have both Pokemon game paks, so I tried it. It sounds neat, but two
GBPs (my brother has a GBP also) sound better than a GB and a GBP.
I have this really neat 2-AA powered pocket amp. I hooked it up at school, because I wasted 4
freash AAA batteries in 4 hours playing "Light! with Sound" on my 89 last night. I thought sound
was the coolest thing since sliced bread, and then my calc went dead. Don't get me wrong, sound is
still cool, but you wont catch me dead hooking regular headphones to my 89 without an amp between
them.
