When did you get your first one?

My first Game Boy was the chunky gray original one. I got it about ten years ago I believe. Probably longer than that. I loved that thing, it went everywhere with me.

I never had a favour of having a Game Boy, I pretty much got into games when Game Boy was already starting to get old and I wasn't very interested in it.

Good question. I had one and I was way too young to have bought it myself. My birthday is kind of close to Xmas so I think it was one of those "we got you a nice gift for both" kind of deals, but I don't remember which relative forked up the cash. I was probably about 7 or 8 years old. I bought my game gear with some acting dough I scored though.

Never got into Tetris. I was all metroid.

I never had the original gameboy mostly because it's older than I am but I did have a gameboy color and i loved that thing it was big the screen was small and the games weren't actually in color not to mention the screen wasn't lit and you had to be in a light room tilting it toward the light.

I did have a lot of the pokemon original gameboy games on it though those were pretty fun even if they weren't in color like at all.

"Ohh! OOOhhh!!!-Oh and again! I made it. I know it. I can't see it but I know I made it. Oh my God I made it. Alright, don't give up. This is for everything. This is when I don't have to do it. This one right here is when I don't have to do it, which leaves nothing else but the one. No I don't think so. Not there. God I wish I could turn the volume-OH **** Aahhh son of a **** I talk too much. ****." - 00vega -

Honestly I have no clue exactly how long ago it was... At least 10 years ago, though... Maybe 12... I don't know.

I had the yellow one... They bought be Super Mario Land and Kirby's Dreamland II with it.
