First released in Japan on April 21, 1989, the Nintendo Game Boy was developed by the same team behind the Game & Watch series of handhelds.

3. Nyko Worm Light
Released in 1999, the Nyko Worm Light had to be hooked into the Game Boy’s accessory port to power the single LED. For those who didn’t want to deal with accessories, there was the Game Boy Light in 1998, which was a Japan-exclusive model and the only one to feature an electroluminescent backlit screen. The second Game Boy to have a backlit screen wasn’t released until 2005, the Game Boy Advance SP.

2. Game Genie
Just like its NES counterpart, Game Genie for Game Boy has a slot for cartridges, yet still needs to be inserted into the cartridge slot. Two face buttons can be used to toggle codes on / off or return to the code input screen. A small compartment in the back can be used to hold a small code booklet. If you still want one, they can be had for around $25 – $30 used on eBay.
