Happy 25th Birthday, Game Boy! Top 5 Favorite Games

View fullsize

I remember getting a Game Boy when it was first released in 1989. I spent hours upon hours playing that thing. It was just so damn cool! It was a Nintendo in the palm of your hands, how could it get any better than that for an 11-year-old kid!? The Game Boy was first released in Japan on April 21st, 1989, and I thought I'd celebrate by giving a rundown of my top five favorite games. 

I haven't played these games in years, but as I was looking around for them and watching the gameplay videos, so many great memories came flooding back. I played these games over and over and over again. It was really fun revisiting these games, and it makes me want to go on ebay to buy myself a Game Boy!

Look over my list below, and let us know what some of your favorite Game Boy games were!

Hey all, just wanted to share my favorite GB game as a kid. I hope the random mob fights don't make the video too boring. I considered showing only the boss levels but I decided to give you the full game. Hope you enjoy it!
