The Nintendo Game Boy, a handheld gaming console released in 1989. The relatively simple and monochrome Game Boy faced off against multiple handhelds and dominated the portable gaming market for almost a decade. This system has a 4.19 MHz CPU, a 4-shade LCD and ran off of 4 AA batteries. It was a very long-running system, only seeing a minor upgrade with the Game Boy Pocket in 1996, then later the Game Boy Color and the Japan-only Game Boy Light in 1998.
