1. 30 years of Game Boy

April 21st marked 30 years since the introduction of the gray, boxy, monochrome handheld gaming device: the Game Boy.

• Nintendo's Game Boy was about $94 at launch, in 1989 money, or about $190 in today's money.
• It was like a NES in your pocket, and launched with four games available: "Super Mario Land," "Baseball," "Alleyway," and "Yakuman" (a mahjong game).
• Later that year, an $89 bundle was launched, featuring Tetris – selling more than one million units during the Christmas season, and an icon was born.
• Nintendo sold more than 118 million units of the original Game Boy – not including the later Game Boy Advance – worldwide.

Tech and longevity:

• The Game Boy was not the most technologically sophisticated device of its time, a deliberate strategy from legendary game designer Gunpei Yokoi at Nintendo.
• Competitors had color displays and better graphics – including the Atari Lynx (a 16-bit gaming competitor) and Sega's Game Gear, which had a full-color backlit screen.
• But the Game Boy, with its small form factor, great battery life, and low price, had the edge.
• Chiefly, it had 10 to 30 hours of battery life on four AA batteries, double or triple competitors which used six AA cells.
• In terms of longevity, the Game Boy continues on to this day with enthusiasts.
• That's a mark of the power of single-use technologies that continue to live on: any calculator you own will outlast your iPhone or Android smartphone.

Three great reads on the Game Boy:

• The story of getting "Tetris" onto the Game Boy, via a Russian government agency responsible for all hardware and software exports, plus the introduction of Pokémon to the world outside of Japan, via Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue in 1998 (Polygon).
• "Game Boys have infinite lives. At 30, they live on in unexpected ways," as retro tech oozes cool – (LA Times).
• "The Game Boy helped me become who I am today, even if I never had one," from Android Authority's Williams Pelegrin.
