Hurrrrgh. Yes, hurrrrgh. I need to wake up. Wake up wake up. Anyways halfway through this, and I’m still having fun with it :) Onward!
1989: Nintendo Gameboy. Designers have created hundreds of games for this mini video game player, which gave kids across America a digital way to twiddle their thumbs. The primitive screen — basically black and green — wasn’t anywhere close to today’s standards, but for simple titles like Tetris, the first game packaged with the Game Boy, color wasn’t a big deal. Game Boy has morphed into today’s DS model and faces tough competition from Sony’s PlayStation Portable (PSP).
I remember when this came out, everyone had their noses stuck to their gameboys. In fact during that time, when I thought of technology, I thought about this device.. since most of my friends (and my brother) had one. And yes, I didn’t. My brother let me borrow sometimes though. Ah Tetris, the classic. Even today there are new versions of Tetris, just some new modes or rules or ways to make the game a little more challenging, but basically the same old game. And it’s awesome, in this way I can really say that Nintendo is more concerned about the gaming experience itself. About having fun. :)
