That's right, today is the anniversary of the Game Boy! The handheld was launched on Friday, the 21th of April of 1989 in Japan.

The very first console to pass the 100 milion mark.

So let's celebrate it! How many of you had it? And which version? Which is/was you favorite game(s)?

Please excuse my bad English.

Former gaming PC: i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Current gaming PC: R5-7600, 32GB RAM 6000MT/s (CL30) and a RX 9060XT 16GB

This thread gets my endorsement. Great system, and I still love the games today.

Party time!

So, my brother's (and my) beloved black original model turns this old already? Damn, time just flows by so fast. Pokemon Yellow and Red along with with many others made the system into what it's known for today! (The original Pokemon games are also my system favourites)

Long live the Gameboy!
