One of my most prized possessions through my childhood was my GameBoy.
I didn't just have any GameBoy though..
I had a GameBoy Color and the power light was Pikachu's cheek.
Yeah, I'm awesome.
Perhaps it was just a 90's kid thing, but GameBoys were our bonding tool. We watched others play Gameboy, we played them in the car, on the bus, everywhere....
That is, until the lights were too bright and your screen had terrible glare problems.
It was released first in Japan, then in the US in 1989 by Nintendo
It sold over a million Gameboys in a matter of weeks.
They seemed to be the first very successful handheld game.
With advancing technology, like Nintendo DS, the GameBoy seems incredibly bulky...
But the moment someone pulls out those little square plastic games,
you know...
GameBoys will always hold a special place in 90's kids' hearts.
