I’ve gone from the original gray, monochromatic, fat Game Boy to the Pocket and Color versions, all gifts from my favorite gaming partner. When it comes to handheld consoles, I’ve owned almost all iterations of the Game Boy line. Almost 34 years of friendship later, 24 of those married to each other, he and I continue to hold many of the same passions in life, Nintendo still being one of them. And while he was not my “first love” as I was not his (we were just great friends in high school), it was our shared history that led us to rediscover one another as we transitioned into young adults. In my adolescence, I met a young man who shared many of my interests and obsessions. Somehow, I ended up with all of them, perhaps because of the five of us, I was the one most addicted to them. She then brought home a couple more (a second fat one and a pocket version) when she came back to visit with her kids. I was fortunate to have an aunt who lived in Japan so the very first one I owned was sent in as a gift for my siblings and me. I’ve had a Game Boy since it was first released in the eighties.
