Oh those things were crazy. Unfortunately nobody ever had one at the school I went to. 

I still regard my Gameboy and Gameboy color games as some of the best in existence.

All the good memories I had with the GameboyGB Color

 

Pokemon RedYellow

 

Pokemon GoldSilverCrystal

 

Donkey Kong Country(GBC version)

 

Super Mario Land

 

Wario Land 3

 

among other games

My favorite game on the Gameboy is The Legend of Zelda Oracle of Ages.I also had a lot of fun with Wario Land 1 and Pokemon Yellow

I never had the original Gameboy, but I've had the Color for as long as I can remember. I still say that Pokemon Silver is one of the greatest games of all time. (You know, if you couldn't tell by my avatar.)

This classy series started on the gameboy, rip you fantastic battery eating machine

It dismays me that I've never laid hands on a Gameboy.

You poor bastard.

My first game was Super Mario Bros for the gba. I still have it too. I loved the pokemon gba games too.

 

Donkey kong, powerpuff girls games i had a few of. a sim game called Dogz i love when i had it. OMG the kirby games!! Those were awesome! 

 

I was born in 95 so i missed out on the original craze of game boys and stuff, but i still miss the game boy, and the game cube days. I remember waiting to be picked up from school on the school steps watching kids trade and battle. Dont get me wrong i love me some wi-fi but i miss when if u wanted to play with someone else the only way was to meet up in person. ah nostalgia
