    So I’m from a very poor family and I knew we’d never be able to afford the Gameboy. My Karate dojo offered one as the top prize to the kid that sold the most candy. I blew that competition out of the water in 1990 and got one! Such a good memory

    Favorite memory: I'm 13 and my uncle got a Game Boy Pocket ice blue edition for Christmas in 1996 and I went into my grandma's attic and found a bunch of NES and Genesis game boxes. I went into a different box and found that Gameboy with Kirby's dreamland in the box and ring rage.

    One of my first gameboy memories is definitely not one of my favorite memories. Took my gameboy on vacation with me to a beach rental house and we were halfway back from the beach when I realized I left it in the night stand drawer of the vacation rental. Begged my parents to turn around to get it but they insisted it was probably long gone since the cleaning service was literally coming in right behind us as we left. This event is why I probably triple check vacation rentals and hotel rooms to this day before leaving. 😂

I could not take my eyes off of it. Surrounded by people afraid for their lives, and I'm just in awe of a Gameboy. Lol.

I ended up playing it for a bit and it was pretty decent but not the best game I ended up selling the two of them together on eBay for $40 + post.

    Some of my best memories are playing my game boy pocket on road trips. Every time we hit the road our family dog (tiger) came with us. We had a suburban and my brothers and I would all sit in the back 3rd row playing our game boy. The middle row was folded down and the dog kennel was there on the right side. It happened every road trip to our grandparents that Tiger would throw up on the trip. This one particular time tiger threw up and it created a chain reaction. I was facing Tiger and I threw up on my pillow. My little brother next to me saw me throw up then my older brother next to him threw up. We were probably on the link cable because Pokémon was our thing. It was hilarious and my parents still crack up when we bring it up!

    When I was about 8 I went to goodwill and my dad said "woah look a game boy!" i got it for 5 dollars with super Mario land included. I played that for about 5 years until my mother got angry and threw it and it broke in pieces. I got rid of it on craigslist about a month later. I was heartbroken. Then a year passed and I got a game boy for Christmas! That was the best Christmas ever.

    I had the original gameboy as a kid. I have lots of good memories playing Toy Story and Tetris. I would play nes or snes at home but always had the gameboy with me in the car. Good times!

    My first memory of the Gameboy was playing Tetris with my cousin. Possibly my best memories are going to daycare as a kid and trying tons of games from my friends. We use to always swap games for the weekends. Warioland and wave race were always my favorite.

    Best memory of the GB, I used to play the heck out of Looney Tunes. Each level featured a different character and I think it was the 4th or 5th level that was Porky Pig and I could never get past that level. I was addicted to trying to beat it and even though I never could, I still loved it.

    • @retrorick

    my first memory of the game boy was 7 years ago when i walked into my local value village (still a collector at a young age :)) and they just brought out a gba with metroid prime fusion, super mario bros dx, tetris, 007 nightfire and lttp and they sold it all to me for 30 bucks. That was my birthday gift from my parents and to this day i still play the crap out of it. That was the best birthday ever. My best memory however, was easily when my parents got me pokemon cib for xmas and I spent my whole winter break on it.

    Best memory that i have from Game Boy was definitely Burai Fighter. It took me almost an entire Christmas vacation to unlock all the difficulty levels. Also my parents and my grandparents were actually grateful because i wasn't messing around with them and i was playing beneath the Christmas tree right next to the window almost the entire holiday!

    I have so many memories of the game boy, the game boy was my childhood, I took it everywhere. Many summer holidays on the campsite where spend playing the original DMG. This is the reason I’m a Game Boy (systems& games) collector now. One memory though was one summer on the street in front of my house I played Tetris multiplayer for the first time of my life with another game boy of a neighbor and OMG it was amazing. I still play Tetris multiplayer on the game boy to this day and it still holds up very well!

Favorite memory is when my little cousin (15 years younger) would come over he’d always ask to play with it so one visit I just gave it to him, that 4 year olds face just beamed liked I’d given him the whole world.

    My first memory with the gameboy was getting the red gameboy pocket, exactly like the one you picked up in this video for Christmas. I was so excited. They bought me two games. Bomber man GB and Pac-Man. I played it all day and night. I always played my older brothers systems like the Nintendo and Super Nintendo, so it felt great to finally have my own system. So many great memories I had with it. I even bought the gameboy camera and took pictures everywhere I went and printed out my pictures.

    This memory might be wrong since I was about four years old, but I remember when I went to the chiropractor’s office they had a bin full of toys and one of them happened to be a game boy which I absolutely loved. Soon after I stopped going to that chiropractor and I grew up playing the DS, but I still remember the amount of joy I had playing that first game boy.

    I didn't have one growing up, but I would often lend a 64 game to a friend in exchange for his GBC with Wario Land II and R-Type DX, I have great fond memories of carrying it around and playing everywhere, became a huge fan of the Wario games since.

    Oh man my first memory of gameboy. I was at my cousins house they had got one for Christmas. I was soooo jealous. When I heard that start up sound. That loud pitch of "Ba Ding" and saw the scroll of the nintendo logo. I knew i had to have one. But unfortunately I didn't get one. Mom said "No. You have a regular Nintendo". 😆.

    Collection is looking good with a lot of quality titles. If you're looking to set new goals you could do something like, when the game collection fund hits a certain dollar amount, like 500, you spend 100 on something rare that you never see in the wild. It's always cool to see holy grail items added to a collection.
