Game Boy is inducted into toy hall of fame above all other game systems

http://gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2009/11/05/game-boy-inducted-into-national-toy-hall-of-fame.aspx

Besides the Atari 2600, apparently.

The Game Boy made my childhood. These little awards and recognitions for it always make me smile.

You have to be a hardcore fanboy of any other system to deny it that title

It deserves it the Gameboy was revolutionary.

Makes me want to head over to my parent's house and look for mine in the attic. Then get pissed at my mom because she more than likely threw it away to make more space. :P

Gameboy color/Poke'mon where key phases of my childhood. I really miss these good old days :( /nostalgia

Nice, like many, i had many fond memories with mine.

And i hope its not the end for the Gameboy franchise. I wonder if Nintendo will continue it after the current DS is over.

On another note, i still REALLY want a Gameboy Advance Micro. Looks so cool and its so small. Having that and Wind Waker on the go would be amazing. Yes i know the other gameboys are portable but they're too large for me to carry around.

Screw it, Amazon here i come!

EDIT: Just snagged a Famicom coloured (The one i wanted) GBA-M with Sonic Advance Mario, Advance 3 and another game i cant remember. Woot!

It deserves it, it single handedly made the handheld gaming market.

It obviously deserves it.

Ah, i forgot to put the price. It was £20 and totalled at £24. Not bad at all. Although it is used, however the listing stated its only been used once.

It had the best handheld library imo. I just wish that the pixel refresh rate was better and the screen had a light because Its like impossible to play some games like Super Mario Land 2. Everything is just like a blur

Best handheld ever, i still have mine.

It deserves it the Gameboy was revolutionary.

Back on topic, cool. I remember playing Zelda, Pokemon and a whole lot on that system. I still have some old Gameboy games in my collection.

saw mine yesterday in a drawer. missing the battery cover plate and probably doesnt work but i still have it! so many memories... quite possibly the best xmas ever

I still have my Kiwi Green Game Boy (favorite fruit was kiwi when the gameboy launched) as well as Pokemon Crystal (dead battery), Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX, and a recently re-purchased version of Pokemon Yellow. Oh, the memories.

I've owned one of those since day one, and I want you to know that that is indeed the sexiest looking handheld ever. The famicom theme version ;)

Ahhh Pokemon Red on a rainy day while laying on my bed covered with blankets...Good times...Good times. :)tagyhag

Blue was, and will always be better than Red.

I had the original fat Gameboy and my Special Pikachu Edition Gameboy Color where the light lit up in the middle of the Pokeball. I was pretty cool back in the day. 8)

Blastoise, use withdraw!

Good job, Blastoise! Now, finish the Tagyhag off with Bubblebeam!

Critical hit!

It's super effective!

Enemy Tagyhag fainted.

Blastoise gained .000000000001 experience. shoryuken_ got $9028903849209384092384092 for winning.

Tagyhag's trainer, "Damn, you're too good. There's no way I could have won. I accept your superiority."

A SW rarity...we all agree.
