Well, I've done a new article for my site (portablevideogamer.com). It's a rundown through the history of the Game Boy franchise. It's pretty cool; take a look and judge yourself!

INTRO
On January 10, 1989, a patent was filed that would lead to the creation, distribution, and ultimate enormous success of the world's most popular videogame machine: the Game Boy portable gaming series. Nintendo's previous handheld experience with the Game & Watch (a watch that included mini-games for quick play), led to the invention of a fully-developed, portable gaming system. Many people imagined the Game Boy would play just like the Game & Watch systems, with different games available for purchase but featuring little differences amongst them. Surprisingly, the Game Boy allowed for development of sophisticated games of many **** and genres. The Game Boy has had many different variations over time and eventually led to the creation of the Nintendo DS. Hop along as we explore the history of the Game Boy franchise and take a look at how things have changed along the way.
