NINTENDO Game Boy

This was a huge technological advance for the gaming industry, as it was the first portable device to game on.

Nintendo Game Boy 1989

The Game Boy was played and enjoyed by many people of all different ages. The basic graphics and controls were at the top of the market for the time.

Different variants of the Game Boy were introduced such as:

Advance, 2001                 Colour, 1998                       Micro, 2005

These variants offered different designs, screen sizes, graphics, and increased portability, as well as different and new games.

Game Boys have not been produced for the past 8-10 years. Nintendo moved on to creating their next portable gaming device, the Nintendo DS. This was created which much more advanced graphics and processing power. It included touch screen with a stylus to create a more interactive experience for gamers.

Game Boys are stilled played today, but more for nostalgic reasons as they are no longer made, no new games are released, and they are extremely out dated compared to today's video game consoles.
