They should have had more than Tetris to show them. Tetris, Pokemon Red/Blue, and Super Mario Land would have been nice.

It was the game that came with the Game Boy, and is pretty much the first game people think of when some one mentions the Game Boy. I would've prefered if they used Super Mario Land instead, but Tetris is still a good choice.


No. Pokemon is what most people think of when someone mentions the Gameboy.


Pokemon isn't as "pick up and play" as Tetris. Most kids will not know what to do in Pokemon without explanations. Tetris is a simple puzzle. Besides so many people associate the Game Boy with Tetris.



The kids are naive guys.Don't take them serious.



I loved my gameboy as a kid :) such fond memories.



A little depressing, but not as bad as I thought it would be. The kid that played Pokemon Red and recognized the system for the profound effect it's had on the industry made me feel better. I was rather sad to see the 3DS and Vita not get mentioned, while the DS and PSP got mentioned as though they were the current thing. The kid who talked about having to press buttons instead of being all touch pissed me off and made me think of that scene in Back to the Future where the kids in the future are confused by a game that requires you to use your hands.

Woah, that girl has strong eyebrow game.



This is a great example of why technology and my generation's parenting is ruining our kids future of socializing and basically respect for past generations. I think four kids actually showed some kind of respect and knowledge of how technology changes. I remember being a young child through the eighties and my adolescence and teen years in the nineties and always understood the past technology was COOL! Like the old rotary style phones, black and white T.V.s, old film projectors, etc. Finding them not Garbage or a Waste like most these kids were saying shows there true laziness and lack of basic intellect, which is common sense.

Granted there were few kids a little too young but you can tell that they are the same path as most those kids. MY GENERATION PARENTING SKILLS SUCK and that is the main problem. I see all the time kids not taught to respect adults, parents trying to be the cool parents and be there friends, and lastly parents passing on technology to keep them busy instead of playing with their kids or having their children go outside.

You know how annoying it is when you soon to be 10 year old daughter keeps bugging for a smart phone because Susy at school just got one and you have to say no you will not get one until you are in high school. Even then it will be a standard flip phone for phone calls and texting.



Well this is depressing, atleast that kid in green actually knew something about it, and appreaciate it, and some other that while playing it begun to like it, the others would just die if they spent more than 10 minutes without a smartphone or tablet.

"Why is it called a Game Boy, girls can play it too, why can't it be called Game Boy Girl" or whatever she said, that girl either is a Tumblr feminist or will sadly grow up to be one -__-.
