The original Game Boy and Tetris are both iconic elements of gaming history, having played a significant role in shaping the portable gaming industry. You were pretty cool if you had one of these bad boys I can tell you. By modern standards of course they are pretty basic and the graphics are uninspiring displaying only four shades of green but heck we thought they were amazing didn’t we?
Tetris
My GameBoy print shows four of these retro handheld devices featuring the iconic Tetris game created by Alexey Pajitnov, a Soviet computer programmer. An absolute classic and just the mention of the word Tetris and you start to hum its wonderful and, let’s face it, slightly annoying tune.
Put a bit of nostalgia up on your wall and hear your kids laugh when you tell them that this was what you used to play. Queue annoying Tetris music…
