The 20th anniversary of the Game Boy‘s release was this week. It was originally a simple device with a green monochrome screen, four buttons (A, B, Start, Select), and a four-way directional pad, much like the original Nintendo.
It was bundled with Tetris, and with that, and a few other games, we spent many an hour during our youth. We still have it in a box somewhere, ready to relaunch a wave of nostalgia, the same way we recently pulled out our Nintendo.
Our gaming time has reduced as we’ve grown older, and limited of late to nostalgia. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing. For the Gameboy, it has launched a wave of portable game players as successors that are still popular today.
