Gameboy First Commercial, Japanese (1980)

Man, when I first heard the concept of portable video games that were like the NES I just couldn't get the concept through my head it was so neat. When Game Boy came out I was just blown away by it. I never did have one, although later on I did have a Sega Game Gear. When you look at the Game Boy now it's almost funny. Games on cell phones today are 100 times more amazing than that now. And games for the PSP and Game Boy DS and Advance are 100 times better than the home systems back then. Blows my mind to look back at how much technology has changed just in my short lifetime.

I went to go buy one, and it cost $25. TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS WTF?

the kid sucked so bad he had to zap the robot to win. lol

lol priceless

I miss that big-ass gameboy

It's American . Juet ported to Japan for some reason or annother. would've thought They'ed just use their wacky ideas for game boy. any way I'm still trying to figure out why a battle with a robot playing tetris and the robot has to use headphones? what is that!, "Game bot?

I know it's a Japanese commercial, but I just wanna know why that teenager from America doing in that commercial...

OMG I STILL HAVE ONE OF THESE!!ahh the good ole days
