So what is it that makes the nation so addicted to the gameboy? For all of you who haven't heard of it, errrrrr....... no-one. I'll explain.
In a land long long ago when you I was young and you was evem younger there was no such thing as Playstations and Good pc's. We we're all stuck playing on Doom or minesweeper. And it didn't matter because we were happy, but then disaster struck and suddenly a new craze came along. This new craze was the Gameboy!!! Cheaper than it's riveal the Gamegear and a more wide and better choice of games then anything seen before it swept the nation and took us by storm. Now hundreds of years on it still remains one of the biggest selling console's in Britain if not the world, out selling the PS1 and PS2 put together. So I ask you. Yes you, what makes it so successful?

Because Nintendo know that Nintys will buy anything no matter how bad it is, as long as it's got a plumber on it and the word 'Nintendo' stamped on it.
It rocks as a hand held.
As a console, I'd rather have a Saturn.
