20 Years

[Macawmoses]

I can't believe I almost forgot. Good thing I got an Editor's Reminder about this one!

The Game Boy was released 20 years ago today (MTN time :P )....in NA. That's quite impressive, being that the game boy brand lasted quite long.

I also think the Game Boy era saw some great titles and ideas. Pokemon being notable, Golden Sun, Tetris, etc. We also saw neat things like the Printer get released - and cheating became even better than ever with the Gameshark working wonders on the line.

So, care to toast the Gameboy?

To that big gray brick that only had shades instead of colors. How on earth did we play games by having to change contrast? The days of IMAGINATION in lack of effects will sorely be missed. Not to mention Missingno X_X:;

Well, here's to the Game Boy. It shall never be forgotten, just like the Virtual Boy.

M&L:SS was one of my favorites.
The DSi needs Game Boy games on the DSi Shop.

The gameboy was/is definitely one of nintendo's key factors in being such a succesful company

Aye. I recall playing Donkey Kong for the first time - it wasn't an arcade version, but the gameboy one.

Now I'm really confused as to why you posted a thread on this.

That's easily the best version of Donkey Kong.

I forget, did it have the pie factory level in it or not?
