Nintendo GameBoy (1989)

The Game Boy was a huge success for Nintendo. It was the second portable system
created by Nintendo (the first being the Game & Watch series starting in 1980). The
original Game Boy was released in 1989 and allowed game players to play a huge library
of games away from home. Games like Super Mario Land, The Legend of Zelda: Link's
Awakening and Tetris proved that quality games could be developed for portable use.
Nintendo later released the “Play it Loud” Game Boy series in 5 colors, and the redesigned
slimmed down Game Boy pocket version was released in 1996.

Known Issues:
