1989 legte Nintendo ein richtiges Handheldbrett hin: der Nintendo Gameboy (bei uns natürlich erst 1990). Ich glaube es gibt aus dieser Zeit nahezu niemanden der den Gameboy nicht hatte. Auch wenn das Gerät nur schwarz/weiß war und das Display gegen jede Sonneneinstrahlung brutalst verlor, gab es so viele von großartigen Games, die die technischen Probleme völlig vergessen machten. 2003 endete dann aber auch die Zeit vom Spielejungen. Aber bis dahin wurden knapp 120 (!!!) Millionen Gameboys (Zahlen schließen auch den Gameboy Color ein) verkauft.
In 1989, Nintendo launched a real handheld board: the Nintendo Gameboy (not here until 1990, of course). I think there’s hardly anyone from that time who didn’t have the Gameboy. Even though the device was only black and white and the display lost its brightness in the sun, there were so many great games that made the technical problems completely forgotten. In 2003, however, the days of the games boy came to an end. But by then, almost 120 (!!!) million Gameboys had been sold (figures also include the Gameboy Color).
