I remember when it first coming out, my brother bought it (he still has it in pretty good condition too). I played Pok

who else thinks that the gameboy is the best console ever?

 

[Adiuvo]

I think it's a great machine, but nowhere near the best console. Definitely had fun with it though. It's strange to think that the Gameboy is actually that old.

 

[Hanzo_f19]

ahhh...the nostalgia...still have it, in perfect condition

 

[eldiablov]

Aah, I remember my good times with the gameboy. I remember playing Super Mario Land 1 - my first handheld game. It still remains a favorite to this day.

Yeah, that game came included when my brother bought his. We played that for a very long time until Pok

Nostalgia Explosion!
I remember getting my first Gameboy for my 7th Birthday (10 years a go come June 3rd).
