The other day I was at Five Below and found this candy tin that was shaped to look like a Gameboy from the late 90’s. I got one of these when I was a kid. I bought it myself after mowing lawns and working at The Dairy Tower on Cape Cod. My boss there let me buy it and a ton of batteries from BJs using their membership. I remember that I wanted one not only to play games anywhere but to play with my friend James while we road down to Florida on vacation. The Gameboy allowed you to tether two of them together so that you could play head to head with a friend. So, with a brick of double AA batteries and a day and a half car ride we were set to play to our heart’s content.
This is actually the one video game system that I do not know exactly what happened to it when I left for college. I took my original NES with me but not the Gameboy. I have found a game or two from time to time but never the actual Gameboy. It definitely was fun for the time I had it.
