🌍️ Wikipedia :
The Game Boy, is a 8-bit handheld video game device developed and manufactured by Nintendo. It was released in Japan on April 21, 1989, in North America in August 1989, and in Europe on September 28, 1990. It is the first handheld console in the Game Boy line, and was created by Gunpei Yokoi and Nintendo Research & Development 1—the same staff who had designed the Game & Watch series as well as several popular games for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Redesigned versions were released in 1996 and 1998, in the form of Game Boy Pocket, and Game Boy Light (Japan only), respectively.
The Game Boy is Nintendo's second handheld system following the Game & Watch series introduced in 1980, and it combined features from both the Nintendo Entertainment System and Game & Watch. It was originally bundled with the puzzle game Tetris.
As part of the fourth generation of gaming, the Game Boy competed with the Sega Game Gear, Atari Lynx, and the TurboExpress. Despite these other technologically superior handheld consoles, the Game Boy was a tremendous success. The Game Boy and its successor, the Game Boy Color, have both combined sold 118.69 million units worldwide. Upon its release in the United States, it sold its entire shipment of one million units within weeks.
Hardware
The Game Boy has four operation buttons labeled "A", "B", "SELECT", and "START", as well as a directional pad. There is a volume control dial on the right side of the console and a similar knob on the left side to adjust the contrast. At the top of the Game Boy, a sliding on-off switch and the slot for the Game Boy cartridges are located. Nintendo recommends users leave a cartridge in the slot to prevent dust and dirt from entering the system.
The Game Boy also contains optional input and/or output connectors. On the left side of the system is an external power supply jack that allows users to use an external rechargeable battery pack or AC adapter (sold separately) instead of four AA batteries. The Game Boy requires 6 V DC of at least 150 mA. A 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack is located on the bottom side of the console which allows users to listen to the audio with headphones or speakers.
On the right side is a port that allows a user to connect to another Game Boy system via a link cable, provided both users are playing the same game. The port can also be used to connect a Game Boy Printer. The link cable was originally designed for players to play head-to-head two-player games such as in Tetris. However, game developer Satoshi Tajiri would later use the link cable technology as a method of communication and networking in the popular Pokémon video game series.

🌍️ Wikipedia :
La (ou le) Game Boy est une console portable de jeux vidéo 8-bits développée et fabriquée par Nintendo. Elle a été initialement commercialisée au Japon le 21 avril 1989, puis en Amérique du Nord en octobre 1989 et en Europe le 28 septembre 1990. Elle est la toute première console portable de la lignée des Game Boy, et elle a été conçue par Gunpei Yokoi et Nintendo Research & Development 1 — la même équipe ayant conçu la série des Game & Watch ainsi que de nombreux jeux popularisés sur Nintendo Entertainment System.
Malgré la sortie d'autres consoles portables technologiquement plus puissantes que celle-ci durant sa longévité, la Game Boy connut un franc succès. À elles seules, la Game Boy et la Game Boy Color ont totalisé un total de 118,6 millions d'exemplaires vendus à travers le monde. Dès sa sortie aux États-Unis, plus d'un million d'exemplaires ont été vendus en quelques semaines. La production de la console portable a d'ailleurs été achevée en 2003.
