# Summary
This is the official software component to the GameCube's Game Boy Player accessory. It produces a blurry picture, especially considering the hardware is a real GBA. While valuable from a collector's prospective, there is better software out there to leverage the Player and Cube.
# Acquisition
I got this for my 10th birthday. My parents were both out of the country on separate mission's trips. It was the only birthday where I got everything I wanted. 😅
# Memories
Untold memories of just playing Game Boy games on the big screen. I always loved that concept. It became a huge driving factor in my GameCube setup and journey as well. I do remember seeing it behind the glass at Walmart and being captivated by the promise of portable games on the TV.
