NINTENDO GAME BOY

Oh look, everyone's top retro handheld. As long as they like green. And motion blur.

It's easy to scoff at the Game Boy's dot-matrix display, with its four shades of murk and visible ghosting. And yes, next to the Sega Game Gear and Atari Lynx, the lack of colour - and clarity - was stark. But while falling short in terms of visual clout, the Game Boy excelled where it mattered and quickly became a handheld for the masses. It didn't munch through batteries; it was affordable and light; and most importantly, it had those stellar titles that you really wanted to play.
