I got my first game boy when I was very young. i remember being really excitied about getting it, as it was the first type of computer I'd ever own myself. At the time, it was state of the art, top of the range technology. It's weird to look back now and think how popular they really were. I don't think there was a single child in my class who did have one or who didn't have a brother or sister who had one! they were quite expensive when they first came out, compared to some of the competition, but it was a well known manufacturer an dit had been popular elsewhere beforehand. There were the great classic games like teris and the car racing games, then more and more came ... Read the complete review

Ah the Nintendo Gameboy. I first got given one of these as a christmas pressie when I was 9 and I absolutely loved it! My mum had bought it second hand (they were very expensive to buy new at the time) and it came with 9 games, most of which I can't remember but I did have Tetris (excellent), Mario Land (excellent) and Bubble Bobble (rubbish!). I couldn't have been happier on christmas morning. The batteries lasted around 5 hours and thats 4 x AA batteries! Kids would laugh if you told them that now. Because the console was so big too you used to get hand ache where the corner would press into your palm! The games you could get for this were really ... Read the complete review

The original nintendo game boy revolutionised gaming as we know it. It was the first hand held console of its type and children and adults everywhere had it on their christmas list. The standard game that it came with was tetris, which was great fun and to this day people are still playing more modern versions on all sorts of gaming consoles including PCs. There were various accessories available which could aid the gaming experience. You could get a magnifying screen to stick over the original screen if you had bad eyesight or didnt want to strain your eyes. You could also play two player games if you had another friend with a game boy (and you both have to have the ... Read the complete review

I had the game boy ages ago, with the screen magnifier and light and a load of games. At the time is was worth quite a bit, but now not really worth much at all. It was a great size, with quite a good screen, altho it being black and white, it looked quite good and the screen can be adjusted with the brightness, altho it looked more black and yellow. My favourite game was Mario, with the coint and the little boxes you had to head-but and them little ant things that get you. I had a other games, like: Garfield, Kirby, Donkey Kong and many more. The game were like cartridges of a fair size, which slotted into the back of the game ... Read the complete review

Note this review covers only the black and white Gameboy, now superceded by the Gameboy Advance system, but I think you'll learn a lot about the Gameboy itself and why it became so popular in the 1990's. The Nintendo Gameboy originally came out several years before it's 1989 us debut and Japanese debut in the same year. There were many portable games and console before the gameboy. Sega of Japan (not the US Sega) actually released a couple of portable consoles before the game gear came out. Then later of course came, those cheap, but mildly entertaining Tiger games that cost like $10 at the supermarket. However, those consoles were ... Read the complete review
