How Dayzee met GameBoy

Today I decided to go through my stack of GameBoy games and add them to my collection list on this website. Aaah, what a marvelous walk through memory lane! *insert sappy music here*

Well, me and my GB go waaaay back! It was the year 1989.. I was 9 years old at the time. It was the best Christmas Eve ever, because my brother and I both received a GB from Santa! I still remember the tv commercials: it was amazing this hand-held gaming system, you could fit it into your back pocket! Yeah, you COULD fit it into your back pocket, but don't try to sit down or anything :wink:

Anyway, with the GB, the most awesome classis game, Tetris was included! Plus we received two more games from Santa: World Cup Soccer and Dr. Mario! And here we are, 17 years later, and I still enjoy playing these games! 8)

Over the years the GB has evolved, and I have bought several versions: GBPocket, GBColor, GBAdvance (what a horrible screen!!) and my current GBA SP Tribal Edition. I still have the old ones in my posession though. Everytime when I go through my closet and come across them, especially my first one, it makes me smile.. HAH you can put it in your pocket they said! *snickers* :wink:

So today I listed and counted my collection, and the total adds up to 35 games, of which 20 are classic GB games and 12 are GBA games. And I still play a lot of the old games, even after all these years they still rock! :wink:
