More than thirty years ago today, the Game Boy from Nintendo appeared in Japan and hit like a bomb. Actually, the hardware was very weak, the pixel image was washed out with fast movements and Tetris was tough after a few levels: Nevertheless, the Game Boy captivated the kids of the 90s.
Although Sega with the Game Gear and Atari with the Lynx a short time later released more powerful on-the-go consoles with color displays, they could hardly keep up with the success of the Game Boy. Last but not least, it was also because they were considered battery hogs, while the Game Boy could be used for over 20 hours on a set of batteries.
