"A lot of the Gameboy library holds up better than the N64 and PS1 library IMO. It was so mins blowing at the time to have something like this on the go. Plus it still has the best boxart for any console ever. "
"Remember sitting in the car at night holding the screen up so the lights from cars behind would light my tetris game. I can play games and I don't have to be in my living room?"
"This transformed gaming into what it is today. Now this is a really bad thing to play on but for its time it was very advanced. This has a lot of og games on it."
"Looking back, this is far from a perfect system but for starting Nintendo's handheld consoles and giving the world Pokemon, I give it 5 stars. It had many other classic games as well. I remember struggling to play on long car rides without the light attachment - good times."
"I played multiple games on this, after it was already outdated, mostly pokemon games. However this system transformed how people played games due to the ability to game on the go! That alone is worth 4 stars."
"I loved my gameboy. It's actually the only one I ever owned. I played Turtles, Mega Man, Wario. The 4 AA batteries to play was a big draw back. I remember several arguments about whether I took the batteries out of XYZ (I always had). Then you couldn't really play in the dark without a couple of different attachments. I could take it anywhere though, and that helped may day care survivable."
"I still have the Tetris music in my head. I still have the system even though the screen is a little worse for wear. Groundbreaking stuff back in the day!"
"My first experience ever with video games was with the Game Boy. It was at my grandparents house and it was always a race out of my siblings to see who could get their hands on it first. The Game Boy will always hold a special place in my heart."
