Ahh, Nintendo's first foray into portable gaming, hard to believe it's older than I am. It definitely shows it's age with it's pea green graphic capabilities, big brick shaped design, and susceptibility to getting browned like mine was.
But with any console, the merit of the system is measured by it's use, and the games. The Gameboy has a fantastic battery life on a measly pair of AA batteries, decent sound, and a clear picture despite the fact that it's green.
And of course, in it's lifetime this puppy had some fantastic software. Sure some of it may have been ports of earlier NES titles but they were good ones, and they were made even better by the fact that they were now portable. And how can we forget any system that gave birth and gave publicity to some of Nintendo's most lovable icons like Kirby, Pokemon, Wario, and the Game & Watch series. It's a piece of gaming history, and it rocks.
