Gadget Hall of Fame<br />
1989<br />
Few gaming platforms, portable<br />
or not, have had the enduring legacy<br />
of that little bricklet of fun, the<br />
Nintendo Game Boy. It arrived at just<br />
the right time to take advantage of a<br />
confluence of adolescent boredom and<br />
the national obsession with Tetris,<br />
which was bundled with each unit<br />
sold. With its simple controls, monochrome<br />
screen, low price tag ($90),<br />
and AA-powered, go-anywhere ability,<br />
the Game Boy was so ubiquitous and<br />
successful that it spawned several<br />
add-on peripherals, including a<br />
camera and a printer. This Boy still<br />
refuses to grow up: The Game Boy<br />
Micro, the series’ sixth major version,<br />
was released in 2005.<br />
