Game Boy Review

Brief Description:

The Game Boy was Nintendo's very first ultra-portable (hand-held) console. And it's well-known for it's screen (informally known as the pea-soup screen). There have been many different variations of this console, including the Game Boy Color (some people may consider the Game Boy Color to be a completely separate console). It was released in 1989.

The Positive Points:

-It only required 4 AA batteries (which for it's time was really good), and it's battery could last a whopping 10 hrs or more!

The Negative Points: -The graphics were NASTY. And I don't mean the positive slang. Sure, I know this thing is old and was popular for it's time, but the fact that people sometimes had to use a magnifying glass just to see WTH was on that tiny green screen, is absurd.

-No colour? Are you kidding me!? Even it's competitors the Game Gear and the Lynx had colour screens, and the Lynx was released a couple months before the Game Boy.

Innovative: No

Affordability At It's Release (affordability for it's time): Cheap

General Public Rating: Overrated

Success: Very Successful

My Personal Final Rating: OK (3/6)
