The Game Boy platform (which includes the original unit, the Game Boy Pocket, and the Game Boy Color) came to market when most video game consoles had a life expectancy of just a few years. More than a decade later, the system is still going strong. How did the Game Boy successfully compete--and in some cases bury--an onslaught of faster, more powerful handheld and home console systems? Let us count the ways: affordability, a huge library of games that consistently made the most of the hardware's limitations, smart power management that extended battery life, and uncluttered controls. But perhaps it was the system's ultraportable design that allowed devotees to play video games around their schedule, making it the must-have system for kids and adults alike. Less

Nothing is cooler to a little boy than owning a Nintendo DS Lite and my 5-year old son really loves his! This has not only been entertainment for him, but for the rest of the family as well.

He had a black one before that eventually gave out, they would only play Game Boy games in... Read full review »

My son has upgraded from this but we decided to keep it around the house & it still works as good as day 1.  I think it would be more for younger kids (10 & under) due to the games that are available. Read full review »

I like the configuration of this Game Boy the best out of all of them.  Unfortunately, the non-backlit screen is a real downer for me.  We'd take these on long car trips and they'd be useless unless you had one of those light accessories and even then they were difficult to see. ...
