I've always been a gadget freak. A significant portion of my disposable income constantly flows to the latest toys and gizmos. Sometimes I wonder if my endless fascination with anything electronics will someday be chief cause of my failing @_@.
Nintendo's Game Boy is one such obsession.
Tonight as I was tidying up my bedroom I stumbled on a shoebox where I keep all my game boys (I have every Game Boy incarnation Nintendo ever produced). For no particular reason I decided to take them all out of the box to look at them. Boy did they bring back memories.
Suddenly it dawned on me that Nintendo Game Boy has always been my gaming sidekick since the my early gaming life.
I still chuckle when I think of the times I carried around the first generation Game Boy aka "the Brick" to school (I was in highschool at the time). Man oh man was that thing the subject of envy among my buddies! I also remember being blown away when I saw Game Boy Pocket for the first time. "Whoa! Now I can slip my Game Boy in my pocket!" *head explodes*
17 Years and 7 generations later, it appears that Game Boy era may be coming to an end. I felt a tinge of sadness, but at the same time- hope and excitement. The times have changed, and the passing of one great portable gaming system has given way to the birth of a new generation, passing to the newborn everything that made it great and then some. I, for one, welcome our new dual-screened portable overlords!
Game Boy may be fading away, but its legacy and legendary success story lives on.

It's about time Nintendo face a worthy competitor in the handheld
market. Fierce competition will keep both sides always on edge and push
them to make quality games.
I own both DS and PSP and I couldn't be happier. Looks like good times ahead for gamers everywhere.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like chronobyte.
chronobyte must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could chronobyte possibly have for not rating a single film?
