A look into the past... GameBoy

My first Gameboy 

Pink GameBoy Pocket Edition

On a sunny day in August 1998. It was my first day at elementary school, when I got my pink GameBoy Pocket Edition. I was so happy. Back then I already loved getting new electronic stuff. And still it's something special for me to switch on new stuff for the first time.

Somehow I can't remember the first games I played on my new Gameboy. I only know that I played a lot. The game I remember playing on my Gameboy was released one year after I got it, in 1999. Pokemon. My mom bought the Red Edition for me. An I loved it! I played this game so much, but somehow I never finished it.

Unfortunately I don't own this GameBoy anylonger. I think we threw it away when we moved to our new house 10 years ago.

My second Gameboy

Pink Gameboy Color

I think, I got this one for my Birthday, but don't ask me  when exactly. I played even more with this GameBoy. I remember many games I played on this little guy. Lucky Luke - a jump and run - Looney Tunes: Marvin Strikes Back! were my favourites besides Pokemon Silver Edition. I never ever finished any of this games. But I had fun playing them anyway. I had to throw this GameBoy away, couple years ago because the screen was broken.

I really regret that I threw away my old GameBoys because I'd really want to finish these old games now. They were simple and fun.
And it would give back some nice childhood memories. Anyway Nintendo DS games nowadays are fun too. And I think the newest Pokemon game was awesome. But these old guys and the games have still something special for me. That's why I think of getting my third GameBoy soon.


- Well, I bought a "new" GameBoy Advanced before I finished this entry. Thinking about the old GameBoy games, I  just had to buy it. Read about it soon. -
