Ah the GameBoy, you make me feel old.

I had (well, have) a transparent one. The coolest thing ever. I had (well, again, have) a decent collection and I remember playing Super Mario Land, Alleyway and Tennis a lot. Tennis, probably the first game to piss me off because I couldn't win. I always brought on holidays and every kid used to be in awe that I had such a thing.

Innocent times, which drastically changed once I got Link's Awakening and Pokemon Blue together with a GameBoy Color. Then handheld gaming became serious bussiness. All three of these items got eaten by my dog once, and the Pokemon cartridge still bears the scars. As a real Nintendo product would, it still works. Though it's screen needed replacing. Both Link's Awakening and Pokemon Blue would go on to become two of my favorite gaming experiences, with the former ranking as high as fifth on my all time list. Of all the brilliant games GameBoy had, that one is the greatest.

Considering the Color, it's still my favorite handheld system ever made. The 3DS though has proven itself to fibally be an equal, and that I'm even contemplating it as a replacement for the throne is a testament to it's own glory. I hope I will remember it as fondly as I do the GameBoy .
