    The original Gameboy was my first. I remember playing Tetris as the “tower making game” I was about 5 at the time, so quite naive. I’m still not great at it.

    The games I played the most were Pokemon ones. I played a lot of Red, and my poor parents couldn’t explain the English screen text to my little Dutch mind. It gave me the motivation to learn English. I remember beating the game with a lv. 100 Blastoise who suddenly used the secret move “struchel” (struggle), kids in my class were amazed that I beat the game at the time.

    I would still use my original Gameboy into the second Pokemon generation with Pokemon gold. My grandmother was very confused when I freaked out when I faced “myself” (Red) in the caves of Mt. Silver.
