Game Boy Turns 20 This Month
by April 3, 2009 @ 1:29 pm
Twenty years ago from this month, the 8-bit monochrome Game Boy was born. While not very aesthetically pleasing compared to portable devices of today, the grey brick radically changed public perception of what an on-the-go portable gaming device could be. For that, it deserves props. With sales eclipsing the 60 million mark, worldwide success of the handheld lead to numerous hardware revisions, including a slimmed-down Game Boy Pocket and the eventual next step, the Game Boy Color.
Feeling old yet?
Thanks, 1UP.
