Nintendo GameBoy [1988] 
Nintendo GameBoy Pocket [1996] 
The Game Boy was the world's best selling video games system and was the biggest breakthrough made by a hand-held console. It had surpassed efforts made by the Sony Game Gear, NeoGeo Pocket, and Turbo Express and has been the standard ever since.
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.
Additional accessories include: AC Adapter, Link cable, Game Boy Camera (external & inserted), and GameBoy printer.
VERDICT |
| The good thing about this console is that it has lasted for so long - since 1989. The old original games made by Nintendo have had a revamp or can still be played. |
