A digital camera for the Game Boy? True - and it's more sophisticated and more fun than anything you could have possibly expected.
A digital camera for the Game Boy? True - and it's more sophisticated and more fun than anything you could have possibly expected. The Camera plugs into the Game Boy's cartridge slot, its spherical, swiveling lens sticking out of the top. In addition to a Time Lapse mode, a self-timer and a panoramic option, you'll find more than a dozen trick lenses, allowing you to create split-screen and mirror images, montages, and other special effect shots. Once you've got a few images saved (the camera can hold up to 30), it's time to get silly. Load a picture, then flip it, doodle on it, add funny ears, stamp Mario into a scene, caption it, literally put words in people's mouths, and even paint on it in color with the Super Game Boy. You can animate the still frames to make your own mini-movies, complete with musical score. Even better, the camera comes with three built-in games, two of which let you insert your face into the action.
If you'd like to share your masterpieces, you can transfer pictures between cameras with the link cable or give out hard copies with the optional printer. With animated menus, tons of funky music, and endless replay value, the Game Boy Camera is absolutely the coolest peripheral to come out for any system, ever. We're talking hours upon hours of goofy, creative, go-anywhere fun.
