This thing's got good music.

It's fun to watch, considering most of the demos (fish, triangles, chalkboard) are in Tetris DX, too...

Simplicity v1.1
If it's what I think it is...'old'.

But I'd agree with the summary. It's better designed than most games considering it's mostly a diagnostic.

No, it's a tech demo:

- Nintendo logo with flying color triangles
- Chalkboard from Tetris DX reading "Nintendo Game Boy Now in Color"
- Tetris DX demonstration
- Wario Land 2 demonstration
- Various cutscenes with the Nintendo logo and various effects like gradient bars, cubes, color rotating, etc
- Link's Awakening demo
- Constant (and rather annoying) interjections like PLAYS OVER 400 GAMEBOY GAMES, ESCAPE TO COLOR, MORE PROCESSING POWER, INFRARED TRANSFER PORT, etc.

There's no diagnostic or even interactivity in it at all; it just loops the same pre-programmed scenes over and over.

What's the origin of this? Was this used to show off the GBC when it was first released?

I believe so; I got it off Lost Levels today, but it was posted a few months ago.

Someone recalls it being in a Target behind a case to show off the new system

. . .

I just didn't think that such a thing would have ever existed, much less lasted this long.

If you would've read...

Most new devices like this come with some sort of demo; just lately they're more interactive and not an overglorified slideshow, like this.

I had one (1) message in Discord deleted and proceeded to make a huge, huge mess about how it was a violation of free speech and how moderators are supposed to be spam janitors and nobody should have the right to tell me not to talk about school shootings
