Game Boy Original. Man, I logged thousands of hours on that thing. It was the beginning of my videogaming, and will always have a special place in my heart.

Ok, I'll admit I haven't played them all. In fact, I haven't even played the one I voted for. But the fact is, this is the most universal of them all. It will play the original gameboy games, as well as the GBA ones. Only this, the SP, and the GBA original do that. Aside from the screen, the SP+ (my new shot nickname) is the same as the SP. since SP+ screen > SP screen, SP+ wins (GBA original is obvious, since it doesn't have any lighting and is hard to see)
Bottom line: compact system, with a big, beautiful, backlit screen... it's hard to go wrong there

GBA, 100% compatibility with all gb games (to my knowledge), and not too small.
I'd actually like it if it was bigger though

The best Gameboy was bar none, the GBA SP NES. You can not beat retro look, specifily when you're playing an NES port, Zelda, or Medtoid games. You all know I'm right!

I like the GBA Micro Famicom's retro look, myself. That said, I have an original GBA, in black. Since I'm most likely using my Game Gear for a pocket NES (Those pockets have to be HUGE!) I'm going to try a custom Afterburner mod with the Game Gear backlight on it. Mixing Sega and Nintendo hardware is blasphemy, you say?
