Game Boy

Game Boy is a portable videogame console created by Nintendo. I never owned a Game Boy during its heyday in the late-1980s and mid-1990s. Instead, I had to be content playing my friends' whenever they were tired of it. I played a few games on it during those years, mostly Tetris, and desperately wanted one of my own.

Later in my life, after Game Boy emulators matured, I started playing games for the system and found that, other than a few gems made by Nintendo, the bulk of the library was garbage. So, now I'm glad that I never did get a Game Boy, as the cost of batteries and money wasted on lame games would have prevented me from getting games for the NES.

Of the games I've played on the system, I have particularly enjoyed:

• Bionic Commando
• Final Fantasy Adventure
• Metroid II: Return of Samus
