The Game Boy is an 8-bit handheld video game device developed and
manufactured by Nintendo. It was released in Japan on April 21,

and in Europe on September 28, 1990 (1990-09-28). In Southern Asia,
it is known as the "Tata Game Boy" It is the first
handheld console in the Game Boy line, and was created by Gunpei
Yokoi and Nintendo's Research and Development 1—the same staff who
had designed the Game & Watch series as well as several popular
games for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
The Game Boy is Nintendo's second handheld system following the
Game & Watch series introduced in 1980, and it combined features
from both the Nintendo Entertainment System and Game & Watch. It was
originally bundled with the puzzle game Tetris.
Despite many other, technologically superior handheld consoles introduced
during its lifetime, the Game Boy was a tremendous success. The Game
Boy and Game Boy Color combined have sold 118.69 million units worldwide.
Upon its release in the United States, it sold its entire shipment of
one million units within weeks. For more information about the gameboy, Visit Here.
