History of Game Boy

GAME BOY

Gunpei Yokoi, the creator of Game Boy, developed a game called Game & Watch. This device, which sells over 43 million units in the world, was a revolution and started the era of handheld game consoles.

Although Game & Watch has only been available for 2 years, the great success it has been achieved with led screens. Yokoi and his team to develop a new 8-bit R & D system. This is called Game Boy and was launched on April 21, 1989 in Japan.

While the device was powered by four AA batteries, it was also able to work with a 6V DC adapter. There was a headphone jack at the bottom. Apart from these, the legendary connection entrance was also on the side. With this input you can connect two Game Boy's or use the Game Boy printer to print the image on thermal paper.
