game boy camera alive 2026

My Game Boy Printer still has plenty of life left in it.

Essentially a receipt printer for kids, the Game Boy Printer uses thermal paper (and 6 AA batteries) to print stamp-sized images from a surprisingly robust list of games. Of course, I had to run a few tests using my favorite subject with the classic Game Boy Camera/Printer combo, such as this multiprint test with 0 margin.

Just for fun, here are some images from Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (top/middle) and Austin Powers: Oh, Behave! (bottom), the latter of which has a modes where you can just print whatever you type on screen, and even a "realtime" calculator feature that prints as you enter calculations. Developed by Rockstar, the game is presented like a mobile "OS" and is bizarre in its own right, but maybe I'll write about it another time (plus its companion game, Welcome to My Underground Lair, because every Game Boy title needed two versions in a post-Pokemon world).

Finally, a handful of games have illustrations that you can print, such as Link's Awakening DX and Pocket Puyo Puyo~n.

Some of the fun is lost without the sticker backing of the original printer paper but hey tape exists.
