Great video on the engineering of the original Gameboy: https://youtu.be/BKm45Az02YE?si=USM_f-djEHK1hF2x

Really shows the level of user-focus Nintendo puts in.

Truly a game changer

Every hand held that came in its wake couldn't live up to what this device did.
GameGear (terrible batter life & clunky) 
Lynx (terrible frame rate, came off as a bad GameGear clone)
NGage - ahead of its time, but also suffered from the same sluggish issues

To this day, Nintendo still reigns supreme in handhelds

Haha - my sister had a Gamegear and it was suuuuuper fun!

...but I mainly played with the AC Adaptor because it sucked up batteries like no one's business.

And it took 6 AA batteries! 2 more than GameBoy and had a fraction of the lifespan. It made more sense to have the adaptor, but that really kiboshed its portability aspect. Might as well just stick with the Genesis at that point.
