Here's to the portable handheld game machine everyone loved.  My favorite game on the system was probably this:  So yeah go gameboy and your limited colours  |

Final Fantasy Adventure, Link's Awakening and Super Mario Land 2 are awesome.
but Tetris will forever be the main thing I remember my gameboy for.

The Game Boy Was released in Japan (followed by a North American release on July 31st of 1989) Trailer is cool, who knew space aliens would bring us the game boy |

I never got an original gameboy but one of my best friend did... and I was jealous as hell... He also got the SNES before me... the jerk  I didn't get a gameboy until Pokemon came out... and I got a blue Pocket to go with Pokemon Blue |

I just tried booting up my original Gameboy alas some old batteries left in it appear to have leaked and it no longer seems to work  I have a spare black one, but my first ever game system appears to be dead, damn. EDIT: It's not dead! If I use the AC Adaptor it work fine .. phew. |

LOVED the little thing, actually finished SMB1, got many games out of the local shop where they ranted out games aplenty
adored DYNOBLASTER and TOP RANK TENNIS and still have them

I have a colour somewhere with Pokemon Red stuck in it. I'd try to fork out my old games, but they're probably lying in about a dozen old discarded couches right about now (never did put them back in their boxes)

Seriously. Dude's one of my heroes. The only reason I own a WonderSwan is as a tribute to this man, as it was his final project before he died. I've always wondered if he were alive today if he'd have returned to Nintendo at any point and how different their handheld direction would be f he did. |

So let's talk about the games I'm going to kick off with the classic: Tetris  Even after all this time I do find other versions of Tetris not quite as fluid as this one. So what was you high score? Did you get a rocket? Was B Mode better and should I change the music to B or C? |
