In case you hadn't heard, Nintendo's trend-setting handheld, the
Game Boy, just had its 20th birthday -- and that's no small
thing for a game console. We won't bore you with stories from
our childhood about wasted time and missed opportunities spent
chasing the dragon that was Tetris, but we will entertain the
hell out of you with this vintage ad touting the system's launch
from way back in the totally excellent year of 1989. We know
what you're thinking: does the robot create the kid or just warp
him there? And if he does create him, does that mean he's some
kind of metallic god? And does that mean that the kid kills god?
And... why is the robot dancing? Hey -- now you're playing with
power.
