Oh, my good ol' Game Boy Color. Not counting the computer, it was my very first video game system. I got it for Christmas back in 1998, I think, along with Donkey Kong Land 3. The next years would see the death of countless AA batteries as I played hour after hour of Donkey Kong, Pokemon, and other gaming goodness on it's tiny, non-backlit screen.
Not that I would play it today (the screen really is TINY and not being able to use rechargeable batteries is lame), but I find it cool and a little surprising that it still plays perfectly. A little surprising because my DS Lite broke a couple of years ago, which in itself isn't that surprising because I kinda broke it myself, but still... surprising.
So yeah, flash back a dozen years ago and I was on the bus from school, grabbing hundreds of bananas for extra lives in Donkey Kong Land 3.
Love the illustration of the Game Boy. Very wicked!
