My dad got me a GameBoy Pocket many years later. Still got it and still works. Was my pride and joy, even though GameBoys weren't all the craze anymore by then.

I had the original, but the games were super expensive, so I had three of them: Tetris, Super Mario World and Batman, to my enjoyment as a kid, in that level of suckitude. Tetris was fun until I beat it every time. The other two were too hard for me. Also, Batman just sucked as a game.

By the time the GBC and then the Pocket came out, I was in college and "too old" for "kids games," so I played "real" games on a computer. Never had an NES and never bought another Nintendo product until the Wii. Now I wish Nintendo would put out a modern version of the Wii.

You'd think they would it was amazing how that system specifically reached such a large audience. A lot of older people even liked it.

I will forever wonder why they just abandoned the whole idea after it had so much success.

Right? Nursing homes were putting it in. Both my parents and my in-laws got them and they were all retired by then.

I really don't get it.
