although the GameBoy CPU really uses a mix of i8080 and z80 instructions, the mnemonics are all z80. I'd love to hear more about this if anybody knows and feel

  It's a Z80-like core with some modifications; not all the Z80 instructions and registers are present and some instructions are completely different. Most instructions are the same as the 8080, but all 3 CPUs are not completely binary-compatible. It's neither truly an 8080 with added instructions, nor a Z80 with omitted ones.
