The Game Boy is Nintendo's original 8-bit handheld, the gray brick with a 2.6-inch monochrome screen, a D-pad, A and B buttons, Start and Select, and a volume dial on the side. It runs Game Boy cartridges, and the screen's low refresh rate blurs motion, which suits slow puzzle and role-playing games better than fast action. It is a collector's and nostalgia piece rather than a daily player: the unlit screen needs good light, and four AA batteries are the usual power source. Compared with later Game Boy models it is bulkier and dimmer, but it is the version most people remember.
