I was 12 years old when I first laid my hands on a Game Boy. That grey chunky plastic shell, with its interchangeable game cartridges and tiny dot-matrix screen. Sure it was a bit clunky, and there was no backlight on the screen, but at that moment in time, 35 years ago, it marked the beginning of a revolution.
It brought video games from the living room TV and put them in the palm of our hands. Gaming had gone mainstream as a legitimate form of entertainment for all ages.
