The original Game Boy was roughly 1.5 lbs with a screen size of about two and a half inches. It was originally bundled with the game “Tetris,” which was the first Game Boy game ever created. The Game Boy was a revolutionary piece of technology selling nearly a million units before its third year of production. Though this is not much by today’s standards, when handheld gaming was still a new industry in the late 1980s, this was considered a huge success.
The original Game Boy would go on to sell well over 60 million units worldwide.
I and many others still play with my GAME BOY to bring out the nostalgia of my
childhood. Playing with it reminds me of my younger memories.
It was the first gaming console that I got as a birthday gift from my father. The feeling of the grip, pushing in and pulling out the game cartridges, and the analog gaming melody are still lovely.
