This is the most romanticized depiction of the gameboy I’ve ever seen. They’re acting like it’s the second coming of Christ. It was revolutionary, but not that revolutionary
8-bit graphics, 4.19 MHz and 8kb of RAM was considered highly advanced and impressive for its time. To put it into perspective, my custom PC has a Ryzen 5 5600X with max speed of 4.5 GHz and 32 GB of RAM with a Radeon RX 6600 (28 ray accelerators, 8 GB VRAM, GDDR6, 128-bit interface) Other people have better specs than I
I remember getting my OG Gameboy. We got three games with it and Tetris was one of them. I swear that game rewrote something in my brain because I quickly ignored the other two games. It wasn’t until Pokemon came out that I cared about any other Gameboy game
I had received 3 gameboys in my life from various people, One as a gift from my dad, one as a hand me down from my uncle, and one as a give away from a friend. All theee had Tetris. And im talking about the original gameboy from the 80s or 90s im not sure when it came out.
Oh this was super cool! Such a revolutionary point in gaming history. The development and release of the Game Boy! Along with the most sold popular puzzle game Tetris! It proved a long time ago to this day, everybody loves puzzle games!
My Uncle Did had the OG Gameboy But he got it from a yard sale in 1998 and it was used. But it did come with tetris when he got it at 10 years old in 98. So yeah hes not that much of an OG gameboy player (if im right) also My uncle Was born in 1988 and year before the Gameboy was released in North America and gaming didnt get to him until 1992 or 1993. And the SNES was his first console before the Gameboy
The game boy was the first of it kind in home entertainment no one had ever thought a video game something that by this time had only been to game consoles an arcade an pc a hand held game was something out of this world
The hours of game play I put into my old Gameboy throughout my childhood and into my adulthood. I never stopped playing it, the games, the memories, this scene gives me a smile and a tear of nostalgia to my eye.
I am glad that Tetris became a biopic movie about licensing agreements between the USA and the Soviet Union. There are some inaccuracies, but it felt real to us. *10/10 Would play Tetris again*
I was moving out of my house a few weeks back and found my old gameboy colour behind some shelves, the thing still works and would you knew it the cartridge was tetris.
I watched this movie at home. When the Game Boy was presented, I immediately pressed pause. I went to my store room and dug out this old box that hasn't been open in over 15 years. My Game Boy was in there along with about 50 cartridges. I put in fresh batteries but it wouldn't turn on 🤣
I remember when the Gameboy first came out and I got one, I couldn’t care less that it wasn’t in color. The fact that it was a portable gaming console was already enough to blow my mind.
A revolutionary console, the game boy. I wasn't born when they came to the world, but knowing what I know now.. the technology is nothing short of amazing. For its time, that's an incredible feat of engineering.
The device that changed everything, the entirety of this scene is what gamers all around the world can relate to, being told about this new device and being given a chqnce to try it, the emotions on tarons face looking at the device are what every gamer feels when they see a console or handheld for the first time, for them its the moment that changed everything
