Nintendo could not have had any idea of what they were in store for when they released the original Game Boy. The handheld market was relatively new but players flocked to this green screen brick like there was no tomorrow. With launch games like Super Mario Land and Tetris it’s not hard to see why. This hardware was Nintendo’s main handheld for over ten years until they upgraded the unit with a color screen. Though the screen is hard to see it’s a real classic.
