    The Game Boy was pretty much “that thing” that everybody eventually had. It was mainstream whereas the Lynx and Gamegear were pricey, and the TurboExpress was just plain obscure.
    Before the Gameboy, my friends and I were playing those Tiger handheld games, and we thought those were freaking awesome at the time.

      Lynx wasn’t that bad, though. I remember playing Rampage on it, I think a puzzle or whatever it is where the ball just flies getting rid of blocks. GameBoy Color was also good when out in the sun so the sunlight pixels’ reflections bring out the color brightly. If I had the backlit model GB Advance SP I could make a call on it, but mine were front lit with a weird horizontal whiteness and it was harder to see then it made clear.

    This video definitely takes me back.
    I got the original Game Boy as a Christmas present back 1990 when I was 5-years-old from my Aunt who unfortunately passed away a couple of years ago after an almost 20 year on-and-off again fight with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It became a running joke in the family that she was my favorite Aunt because of the gift she gave me.
    It came with Tetris, and she got me Super Mario Land and Balloon Kid. I still have the system today and it still works great despite it's age since I try to take care of all the games and systems I own. I still remember journeying through Mario Land 2, swapping sweets in Yoshi's Cookie, and I'm sure I don't need to tell anyone about the popularity of Pokemon.
    Thanks for an awesome vid Rich. I've been watching your stuff for a few years and this definitely one the best vids you've put out in a while. Stay awesome man.

    I started my Game Boy journey in '94. I was so hooked on it. Later I got the Pocket, then the Color, then the Advanced SP (I skipped the non-SP). Then when I got a PSP, I kinda forgot about the Game Boy stuff, until hacks and emulators came to my attention. Game Boy emulation rekindled my love for that system's library. To this day, all of my GB experiences are via emulation and really I have no complaints about it.

I found it at my Nana's where she had all her puzzles because I knew Nintendo from the N64 which my cousins have, it's a red original that she only got it to play Tetris which I also enjoyed, then after telling my Dad about it, he brought out his with some games to go along with it including Mario Land one and two, Donkey Kong Land. Was playing that all night.
