Thirty years ago today, the Game Boy was released in Japan by Nintendo and made a huge impact in the gaming world. Despite its weak hardware and washed out pixel graphics with fast movements, the Game Boy captured the hearts of children in the 90s. Even though Sega released the Game Gear and Atari released the Lynx, both of which were more powerful portable consoles with color displays, they couldn’t keep up with the success of the Game Boy. This was partly due to their reputation for draining batteries quickly, while the Game Boy could run for over 20 hours on a set of batteries.
