  • Hey guys, this is Austin and today I’m here with a review of the

  • original Game Boy. Released by Nintendo in 1989 I think it’s safe

  • to say this was one of the most important video game console

  • releases ever. Let’s see what it’s all about. The first thing youll

  • notice is that the original Game Boy was big. It’s still pocketable

  • but by today’s standards it’s a brick. While you definitely won’t

  • forget it’s in your pocket there are some advantages to its size.

  • It fits well in the hand and everything has a very solid feel that

  • you don’t find often in newer systems like the 3DS. Most Game Boys

  • came in gray however in 1995 Nintendo released the Play It Loud models

  • which brought new colors to the line including black and my favorite,

  • transparent. While the Game Boy wasn’t the first portable console to

  • use cartridges it was the first to bring it into the mainstream.

  • Compared to its bigger brothers the carts are downright tiny with

  • storage between 32 kilobytes and a whopping 1 megabyte.

  • Unsurprisingly, face melting graphics weren’t part of the equation.

  • The Game Boy rocks a 4.19Mhz 8-bit CPU and 8 kilobytes of RAM. Despite

  • entire games taking up far less space than a single low quality MP3

  • they weren’t half bad looking at all. With over 800 games made during

  • the 10 year lifespan of the Game Boy you had everything from racing

  • games to RPGs. One part where the nostalgia machine gives up a bit is

  • with the screen. The OG Game Boy sports a 2.6 inch screen with a

  • resolution of 160x144. The size and resolution are just fine, the

  • problem is that’s it’s green. Really really green. You can adjust the

  • contrast with a dial on the left side of the system but even then youre

  • limited to four shades of green. Like most Game Boys it’s not backlit so

  • youll need to play near a source of light but for most games it works

  • alright. Something that made the Game Boy a bit unique was the addition

  • of a link cable port. This allowed you to connect two Game Boys together

  • to compete or trade, something that Pokemon took full advantage of.

  • One of the reasons the Game Boy is so large is because it needs four AA

  • batteries. This might seem like overkill today but this along with the

  • modest technical specs gave the system anywhere between ten and fourteen

  • hours of battery life whereas competitors like the Game Gear and Lynx

  • required six AA batteries and only managed four to five hours.

  • In fact the Game Gear and Lynx are great examples of the Game Boy’s massive

  • success. How many of you have honestly heard of either of these consoles

  • before? With games like Tetris and Pokemon Nintendo had a runaway success

  • for nearly 15 years before Sony finally entered the PSP into the ring to

  • compete and even today the 3DS is still the most popular dedicated console

  • of this generation. It may not have had the best screen or been the slimmest

  • console, but there’s little doubt that the Game Boy helped shape gaming as we know

  • it today. Now if youll excuse me, I’m going to go back to being six years old again.
