I always remember getting excited when Nintendo announced the game boy camera was going to be compatible with perfect dark on the n64, so you could make characters out of yourself and friends. Awesome for multiplayer. But then they got cold feet and took out the feature out of fears of kids practicing shooting their school friends etc. apparently the mode is still in the code! But it put me off buying one back then. :(

Don't get me wrong the stories themselves weren't bad, save for one or two, but the illustrations were among the scariest images I've seen to this day.

I've never seen the gameboy camera in all it's glory. It's really giving me the heebies-jeebies.

I liked seeing the GB Printer in action here. I always wondered how it went. I still have my old blue GB Camera somewhere though I don't know if the save battery has died yet. I never had the printer but I remember figuring out a way to transfer pictures from it to PC, from which I could print them on a regular printer if I wanted. I took a "snapshot" of the camera's save file using a GameShark (Action Reply in EU), then loaded it in a GameBoy tile data viewer -- all my photos were there, including some deleted ones if I'm remembering right. You can also transfer them to a computer using a DOS-only program that emulates a GB Printer using a link cable wired to the parallel port, and saves everything "printed" to it as a .BMP file. Also, if you rig something to hold the camera steady and have red, green and blue filters, you CAN take color photos. Take identical photos with each filter, transfer to a computer, and combine them into a single color picture in Photoshop/GIMP/Paint.NET/whatever.

What the heck...? This is like something you'd expect to be a creepypasta, not to have actually been made...

I remember getting one these brand new at the store for surprisingly only $10 back in the day and I've never regretted it. The Running game was extremely addictive from what I remember and the ball game actually became kinda fun when it got to levels that made the juggling extremely fast. My favorite thing though was making stop motion looping animations with LEGO figures and clay and then making my own DJ mix for it to play to. So much simple fun from what was essentially a cheap webcam.

fun fact!! first watched this video when i was 13 in February 2015 and the faces that pop up in the gameboy camera software gave me horrible nightmares for about a month :D

"What are you running from?"

Dug mine out a while ago with the intention of selling. Found my camera had pics of my cat that died a few years ago on it so didn't want to let it go then. Also, I had left batteries in the printer which were now leaking all over it leaving a crystal like mess. Still had some printer paper left in it's box though all sealed up. It's kinda weird how I got such a nostalgic feeling for the camera though. It's quite a fun little thing. I kinda felt like the 3DS was paying a little bit of a homage to it with some of it's camera games and functions.

Alright those faces were fucking terrifying...I mean holy shit especially in the context of a shitty little Gameboy peripheral menu. This is like a Creepypasta come true.

i remember me and my dad looking for a shop that sold the camera and printer, one shop offered to sell us just the paper for the printer but none of the other things. my dad and i were pretty incredulous why anyone would think we would want the paper if we didn't have the printer.

with the music feature I now know that the gameboy printer is the mother of dubstep

"Most of the joy comes from the shootings." Stuart Ashen, 2015.

The Game Boy Camera was released in 1998?! The Nintendo 64 had been released for 2 years (in Japan at least) at that point, amazing.

I remember wanting the Game Boy just for the the camera and printer! I wanted to take pictures and play with the toy thingies. I also remember reading in the instructions that you could plug the camera into a Super Game Boy to record your "animations" on VCR and even make them longer by having them on tape. Though, I imagine that'd create jumps in the video from each time you stopped and restarted the recording... Also wish I had the printer, but that never happened. You could print panoramas you took in the trick shot mode. I'm pretty surprised there where never any followups to the Game Boy Camera, no Color Camera, no GBA Camera. You could say the DSi and 3DS cameras are followups, and they are pretty nice, especially the 3DS letting you take 3D photos and video, but what about all the toys you had on the ol GB Camera? Would've been nice to have seen it evolve with more features, more pictures, more colors, more resolution, etc, but the GB Camera was one of a kind, the first and the last.

I love your vids, Ashens always keenly waiting for the next. Cheers from down under :)

I loved the music in this game when a was little

Why does ashens know what the Moomins is? Hell, why do I know what the Moomins is?

Loved that thing so much. Spent hours making short animations on it. Even the time lapse function was interesting, because while you could only take 30 shots, you could have them at really long intervals. If you kept it plugged in you could take 30 photos spread over 12hrs or something like that.

the frame rate gets faster (up to around 15-20 FPS) in bright conditions but it also uses more power in bright conditions in fact if the battery is low enough you can see the power LED flickering as the image is updated
