On April 21, 1989, the Game Boy saw the light of the day in Japan.
I think all of us can agree that the Game Boy was one of the most influential consoles of all time, and it's what really brought handhelds to the popularity they have today. Ahh, the memories of playing some Super Mario Land on the backseat of the car while the family is driving to vacation. I still have an old b&w Game Boy at home. I bet it would still work if I gave it some batteries. I could fire it up and play some Tetris or even Pokemon... What are your memories with the Game Boy? |

Oh wow. It's that old?
I remember playing an original GB once. I then owned a GBC after. The world could always use more heroes! |

The cartridges for the GB weren't tiny..
I don't think I'd easily lose one of those. The world could always use more heroes! |

I remember, I got my first Game Boy Color just for the Pokémon games, back in 1998 Had it until recently, although the speaker died on it... still own all the classic generation Pokémon games, but not the Game Boy Color anymore (at least the SP can still play GBC games ) "Miracles happen, when you believe..."

I still have all my old GB/GBC games. They're in a box. The world could always use more heroes! |

Gameboy had a crazy long lifetime, in those 25 years it was probably relevant for at least 13 years with games still being released (a lot of games that were marked for GBC still worked with the orginal GB). I actually went straight from a fat brick GB to a GBA SP as I never saw a reason to get a GBC. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org, YouTube
