Happy 20th Birthday, Game Boy!

In April 1989, Nintendo released the Game Boy. How time flies when you're having fun, because it's now April 2009, so a rousing chorus of "Happy Birthday" is in order for the venerable little machine.

Having sold around 120 million units in its 14-year production run (that's including sales of the Game Boy Color), the Game Boy gave way to the Game Boy Advance, which begot the Nintendo DS. Which isn't anywhere near as great because it's not called the Game Boy DS.

Being near-indestructible, easy to carry around and with plenty of battery life, the Game Boy saw off a number of competitors in its lifetime, from Atari's Lynx to Sega's Game Gear, before finally being retired in 2003.

It brought us portable gaming. It brought us Tetris. It brought us Pokemon. So drink up, old man, and enjoy your special month.

Aah, I remember when I got my Game Boy. I was 3, and with it I got Tetris, Dr. Mario, Jurassic Park, and Power Rangers. Best part about it? What they said about it being nearly indestructible is true. I'm going to be 23 this year and my Game Boy still works! And so does the magnifying glass with lights!!!

In honor of this occasion, I'm breaking it out for a few round of Tetris and Dr. Mario, and a few hours of Pokemon Blue Edition. Heck yea, happy birthday!!!

Happy 20th Game Boy! I've never personally owned one, but my brothers have, and I probably played it more than them. Ah, how I remember those days of playing Pokemon with friends at recess during school.

Thought I'd mention that yesterday was Dreamcast's 1-0 Year Ani!

...... Now, who's up for some Phantasy Star?

Ah, Phantasy Star Online, what a great game. The Gamecube and Xbox versions were just as great if not better. But my favorite Dreamcast game was Skies of Arcadia, one of the best turn-based RPGs I've ever played.
