The Game Boy was a damn good platform, in the end.  Built for battery life and technically inferior to the competition, but time after time developers (well, first party mostly) embraced the limitations of the system to bring us some of the best entries in many long running series... and yeah there were plenty of developers who missed the point to hilarious effect too, in attempting to shrink 8-bit and 16-bit console experiences down with no no forethought. Goddamn it why did I forget to mention Revenge of the 'Gator.
