Nintendo Game Boy [1989] 

Nintendo Game Boy Pocket [1996] 

The Game Boy was the world's best selling video games system and was the biggest breakthrough made by a handheld console. It had surpassed efforts made by the Sony Game Gear, NeoGeo Pocket, and Turbo Express and has been the standard ever since.

The good thing about this console is that it has lasted for so long - since 1989, along with its colour version until the early 21st century. It was only really being phased out due to the release of the Game Boy Advance. Its success is shown when the original games, such as Mario and Tetris still exist in its latest consoles, albeit with a slight revamp, but mainly still in the same format.

Additional accessories include: AC Adapter, Link cable, Game Boy Camera (external & inserted), and GameBoy printer.

The Game Boy came with an LCD screen that could only produce four colours. Because of this problem Nintendo came out with a more advanced screen in the GameBoy Color.
