The Grey Brick, my First Big Crush. What's there to say? This is an iconic piece of hardware that continues to be loved all over the world by nerds and collectors who know what's good for them. Released in 1989 in Japan, and only being beaten by its successor the [Game Boy Color](/games/gameboycolor) nine full years later---and the more recent [Analogue Pocket](/articles/analogue-pocket)---the GB has a _massive_ collection of good and not so good games.
