Congrats to Gameboy. The memories with all my gameboys will always have a place in my heart.

Game boy is one of those things that don't make you think what the word means, but you take it as an entirely new name. Hard to explain, but it just is :P
It's so legendary, but pokemon made it divine.

The Game Boy is what brought me to the world of portable gaming.

Super mario land and Links awakening got me into gaming

Great memories! Got my Gameboy in 1990 after my first flight back from Mauritius. Who else got a story, that he actually bought his gameboy in Africa

- The best thing: it still works!!! The safety plate over the screen is gone for long and good, but the thing itself won't die.

- And all those games: the mighty Tetris, World Cup, Super Mario Land 1 & 2, Mario Tennis, The Turtles, Robin Hood many more and my special love for a game nobody else had: Magnetic Soccer (brilliant table soccer/ foosball-sim).

- Playing rpg without understanding english etc.

-The desperate need for light, if you wanted to play and and this strange peripheral called the light boy, who solved this problem, with a small lamp attached.

- The cries, when the contact of my charger was broken again

- The incredible earphones, which I still used until 15 years after.

-All the meetings with friends for gameboy-sessions (I'm still desperate, that I never found 4 friends who had f-1 race or rc-pro-am to play it against them all)

-The need, that everybody owned the game to play it against them

HAPPY TIMES ======> Happy birthday old mate!
