The Game Boy platform (which includes the original unit, the Game Boy Pocket, and the Game Boy Color) came to market when most video game consoles had a life expectancy of just a few years. More than a decade later, the system is still going strong. How did the Game Boy successfully compete--and in some cases bury--an onslaught of faster, more powerful handheld and home console systems? Let us count the ways: affordability, a huge library of games that consistently made the most of the hardware's limitations, smart power management that extended battery life, and uncluttered controls. But perhaps it was the system's ultraportable design that allowed devotees to play video games around their schedule, making it the must-have system for kids and adults alike. Less

A 100% REAL, AUTHENTIC REVIEW BY A GAME BOY ADVANCE OWNER!

by gerper , Jun 12, 2001
Pros: Great graphics and games! Smaller unit, very powerful
Cons: Poor lighting, no backlight
The Bottom Line: An excellent system! Great graphics and sound. Lots of great games, backwards compatible with GBC games.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Normally, hand held games aren?t my thing, as I find that games simply don?t translate well to a small screen. However, I can honestly say that the Nintendo (and it?s no secret that I am not too crazy about this company), has really outdone...

This reviewer does not recommend this product.
Review: This is the year for the next generation of handheld gaming systems. Nintendo's Gameboy line has had a stranglehold on this market since it launched its first Gameboy system. I have always been a fan of the Gameboy because it's sturdy (which is...
