They were big, those four AA batteries it needed made it annoying

I never saw the original Gameboy - only started noticing them when GBC was starting to be advertised...But I heard about the size...Yes they are handhelds, but they're too big to put in your pockets. ^^;

the reason the older ones are so big is because they didn't have the micro technology we have now.

Nice game choice with the Pokemon selection I have to say. Although I'm not much of a Tetris fan myself.I think the old gamboys are to big its so big you have to jump on each button to press it.

If you think the original GB was big, you should try playing the first Atari Lynx!
These things were nearly a foot long, and the first few made had some kind of alloy shells that weighed a good bit (but were pretty near indestructible!) The next generation Lynx looked the same but was made of a lighter plastic (the paint had a bad habit of wearing off that model) and then the smaller Lynx II was released about a year later. Still, I don't think there was ever a larger production handheld than the Atari Lynx. Great machine in its day, and a great design despite its size - you could actually flip it and the screen image if you were left-handed and wanted to play with your right hand on the + direction pad...

They weren't big when they first came out. Althought back then we still couldn't stuff them in our pockets.
