Who could ever forget the original Gameboy, especially those among the young adults of today`s generation?

The portable video game console was designed and developed by the same team which was behind the successful Game & Watch and the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), with some major features from these two incorporated into the Game Boy. Instant success met the introduction of the Nintendo handheld video game console in the U.S. where the entire initial shipment of one million units was sold within weeks. All told, the Game Boy and its Game Boy Color iteration generated sales worldwide totaling almost 20 million units during their lifespan. The puzzle game Tetris was originally bundled with each purchase of the console. As an interesting tidbit of information useful for anybody interested in classic titles for Gameboy download, the Tetris game sold 30.26 million units as either pack-in or separately. So significant has been Gameboy`s impact on the video game industry that the Nintendo handheld was elevated to the National Toy Hall of Fame in 2009.

Most video gamers would of course be familiar with the Pokemon series which are role-playing games.
