My first game boy was the original, which I still have. I remember how great it was to have it. though now it looks almost ridiculous in size, and shape, but to think how revolutionary it was then.
    I can say without a doubt the most hours I have put into a gameboy game is tetris. I still play it on my GBA SP! Its a timeless classic, and the gameplay is always great no matter if it is in color or not.

my first handle is Gameboy Advance . the game i play the most was “Super Mario advance” . It was so much fun. I played that game as much as I could for like 3-4 weeks .

I didn’t own any handheld until the GBA. The only two games I ever played on it were Super Mario World and Zelda: A Link to the Past. So total man hours would be whatever it took to beat both of those.

I just haven’t had time to play it anymore, seeing as how I’m always the one driving on trips. So the only game-playing I have time to do is at home, and then I’d rather be playing Xbox or PS2.

wen i was younger my parents bought me 1 of those big ol gameboys in the summer holidays, with pokemon red. i didn’t cum out of my room for 5 weeks. i was determined to get all 151 pokemon before i stopped playing. then i found out mew wasn’t in it…...what a waste of time that was…sob

my first nintendo was the old school Nintendo system..the one with the flippy slot
and the huge ass game cartridges. I spent like days at a time playing Megaman games cuz i was so hooked on it

My first hand held game boy was the Original Game Boy, which I played day and night up to 18 hours a day. My first game was Pokemon Blue Version. Which I played it until the batteries went dead. So then I would grab 2 more batteries and start playing again.
Then after 4 weeks later I completed the game including all 151 Pokemon on the Original Pokedex. Today I own all the Nintendo hand held and Nintendo Systems, except the Nintendo DS, which I would love to have.

cool hmm

My first nintendo system was n64. My first game for that was mario 64, which I played straight for 26 hours, no joke.

thanx 4 evry hoo sed my first console and game not evry one hoo did huge stories

original gameboy my bro and sis’s all got grey ones i got a see through on and it came with tetris and 104 games cartridge even though it had three games and they were just renamed on the menu screen and when u got in the game it sed the real title (my favorite was bomb jack) im doin wot i hate but i dont care… anyhoo and never really played it because it always ran out of batteries and im to lazy to replace em

ive got a nintendo Orginal GB GBC GBA n64 (possibly the greatest console ever (possibly excluding sega megadrive)) and a ps2… THE BEST GAME EVER CREATED WAS ZELDA OCARINA OF TIME I BOUGHT MAJORA’S MASK BUT IT SUCKED BALLS

i love ds because the are fun and u can take them out and with a help with the touch screen.

My first nintendo system was the great FAmicom, and the game was the best! !!! !!! Get this- it was Most Extreme Elimination challenge!

confused how the heck can u catch mew???? confused . o yah my first nintendo system was the Gameboy Color then for my birthday my mom bought me my Gameboy Advance SP   grin i still have my pokemon crystal game that i got a loooong time ago (it is the game i play the most, next to my The Pirates of the Carribean: The Curse of the Black Pearl game

The first handheld nintendo console I got was a gameboy color which I bought like 2 years and I ended up buying pokemon silver right after and played that game for 3 weeks straight during the summer, barely got any sleep and had to pause (unfortunately) to get some. It was fun though.

When I look back on my first handheld, I wonder if I ever noticed how thick and unwieldly it was in my tiny, adolescent hands.  The first Nintendo handheld was a brick, but it was MY brick, and some of my fondest memories are of me on the hours long drive to and from the military hospital, where I would recieve my annual checkups or if I felt sick, or needed shots.  No matter how sterile and dull, I had a tiny, yellow screen where I was in charge- a place where I could defeat evil or simply fight in the name of glory.  Often, I would make up other stories to go along with my games, such as Super Mario Land 2.  I was young, and my imagination was wild.  That game, I would beat it over and over, never growing tired of it.  Nowadays, a game wouldn’t hold that much interest in me…  Leave it for a child

My first nintendo handheld was a gameboy color, the game i most played on it was pokemon blue virsion

My first Nintendo Handheld was the Original Gameboy! Dang that thing was fatty but at the time blew everyone’s mind away! I had Batman for it and it was by far my favorite game. I beat it 3 times and loved everything about it. I would love to give my son a DS so he can waste countless hours on videogames!

Thanks

My first handheld was a Game Boy Advance Color, my favorite game was Super Mario.  I played it everyday for 4 months until I got stuck at a level.  A year later, I’m still stuck at it.  I play it until I get frustrated and give up again for a few weeks.

MY FIRST NINTENDO HANDHELD WAS THE GAME BOY COLOR. I PLAYED IT WITH POKEMON YELLOW.MAN I LOVED THAT GAME

My first one was a gba and along with it i got Pokemon Silver and Gold. I hated both of them.

gameboy color, pokemon red, and pantera on a loop in my old sony stero. ahhh the good ole days…..  smile

My first nintendo handheld console was Game Boy Advance… with the blue color, of course my favorite color…
and…
the game that I like the most was power rangers, but I also like Mario and Pokemon…
Those games are so cool!

I remember the first Nintendo video game system I ever had; a Nintendo 64. I would spend hours upon hours playing Super Mario 64, and, back then, we were all astounded at the “amazing graphics”

My first nintendo handheld was a Game Boy Advance and i spent most of all my hours playing Po-Ke-Mon

I Hope I win it will be like special 16 b-day

My son had the first original gameboy. At the time it was pretty amazing. He and many other kids around the world thought it was the most amazing thing ever.

Nintendo DS <3 Perhaps one of the best handhelds around? : )

My first hand held was the original Game Boy.  I logged too many hours to play was Tetris.  That game consumed a lot of my time, but it was great.

I never had a handheld but i had a boyfriend that had an original gameboy and the only game he had was Tetris.He was addicted to it.

I really had a great time with your post! I am looking forward to read more blog post regarding this! Well written!
