Either Gameboy or NeoGeoNintendo has created quite an image for itself in the video game industry. Why let that image stop at consoles? Here we have the Nintendo Gameboy, Nintendo's entry into portable gaming.
Graphics
For its reign of the era, the Gameboy hosted decent graphics, if used to the correct extent. The Gameboy did not offer color graphics. That would be saved for the Gameboy Color. Instead, the Gameboy offered shades of black upon a greenish-tinted screen. This combination appealed to the eyes, but gamers were often heard wishing for more. For this, it truly depends on the developer to how well the graphics of the games are presented. Many games' graphics were in the middle of superb and lackluster. Although, you did have a few games of those two calibers. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening used the graphical capability of the Gameboy superbly, while, say...Robocop 2 did not. Overall, the Gameboy's graphics were impressive for the time.
Sounds
The Gameboy had many a game with many a great sound. The Gameboy was capable of giving the old, classic sounds, and also new, unique sounds. The music of the games it had available were of nice quality. Though, as with graphics, you had games with great sounds and music, and others with annoying, horrible sounds and music. Tetris is an example of a great combination of sound and music. The sounds of the blocks landing are not annoying, and the repeating background music are likable. Fortunately, in the case of a game to the contrary, the Gameboy featured volume control, so you could turn the sound and music off, if you so wished. All in all, the Gameboy had favorable sound and music capability.
Controls
The Gameboy had a simple, but favorable control interface. It featured Start, Select, A, and B buttons, and a directional pad. These were spaced just enough to accommodate for small and large hands alike, and gave the Gameboy a neat look. The Start button usually paused the game, while the A and B buttons provided actions. The directional pad was most commonly used to move, and the Select button was given any other thing the game makers seemed fit. This interface allowed for a wide variety of games, and allowed each to use a unique control scheme if they so desired.
Game Library
The games the Gameboy hosted were of a large quantity, mostly due to the fact that the Gameboy was one of the only portable gaming units in the industry. For this, the Gameboy had many genres, and appealed to many gamers. Great games include Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Land (1, 2, 3), Dr. Mario, Kirby's Dream Land (1, 2), The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Pokemon (Blue, Red, Yellow) Super Mario Land (1,2,3), Tetris (1,2), and many others. Though, there are many mediocre, and waste-of-time games, but there are those with any system.
Closure
The Gameboy was the prime of the time in portable gaming. The offerings and deliveries were of top quality most of the time, and the Gameboy became a household name.
Judgement
Graphics: For its time, they were great. Although in many a game, it was a little difficult to see the whole picture. [9/10]
Sounds: The Gameboy offered great sound and music, with most games featuring excellent examples of both. Although, there games that were annoying examples of both also. [9/10]
Controls: The controls were very easy to get used to, were nice ont he hands. The interface was simple, to-the-point. [10/10]
Game Library: The Gameboy had many great games, and a lot of games in the middle, but suffered from an overdose of lackluster games that would not be found elsewhere. [9/10]
Overall: It was the best of its time, and is still better than some handhelds today. [10/10]
Final Recommendation
With this being an old system today, and with the Gameboy series growing every few years, I would only recommend this to collector's, as there is a far better model of the Gameboy available today. So Not GameBoy Only To Collecters Neo GeoThe Neo Geo console itself is compact, sleek, and surprisingly lightweight. But its controllers are what won me over. Large and sturdy, they feature an old-fashioned ball-handle joystick and four large buttons (not counting Start and Select). The system was the first to accept memory cards that let you save your game, and these cards were also designed to fit the arcade machines. Apparently SNK envisioned gamers playing their games both at home and the arcade, which may be the most idiotic concept ever conceived. The memory cards would have been better used to save high scores, but alas, that would have made too much sense. But I Do Not Like Both Of Them Would Not Recommend .

 

   I have to agree with with XxJ0K3RxX10.  The Virtual Boy was pretty bad.  It was awkward to play, if you played it for too long you couldn't really see the color red when you looked away, and people could easily sneak up and switch the thing off while you were playing it.  However, the 3DO was pretty bad, too...

The worst console I have ever gotten must be the Philips Cd-I, what a steaming pile of goat ship that was. The games were so bad, the games pushed me to the limit of madness and the game play of the hotel Mario game, was atrocious, you can say there is no bad Mario or Zelda games, but this console just spewed out crap, and if that wasn't enough, the console was so expensive for how worse it is, $700, plus all the extra add-ons, and all you get is a spoon controller, a stiff controller, a TV remote,( just naming off a few ) and just to top it off, the most annoying game, hotel Mario is the best selling game of the console.Then, the console was shut down to the successor, the Ps1. This console makes the NES look like the Wii U, this makes my cat look like Godzilla. The games got negative support, so the developers quit, even some the Zelda games are ranked 5th top worst games of all time, the console is ranked among the worst consoles of all time.I have no more words to describe this because this console is so bad, but its in my opinion, so try it out for yourself and see if you like it. Just stay away from the game "The Legend of Zelda Wand of Gamelon".

I was going to offer twenty bucks for an Atari 5200 from someone I bought a Commodore 64 from but they just gave me the 5200 for free. So far no games interest me and it sucks because I can't even find a controller because there to damn expensive. Is it even worth the price?

I have never HATED a game system, I would say that the one I enjoy least would be DSi,  but I make video games, when you make video games you love video games so I enjoy having a lot of systems lol. 

Out of the game consoles that have come out or have been popular in my lifetime i will make a top however any made

1.PS2
2.Xbox 360
3.Xbox 
4.Ps3
5 Wii (because of SSB Brawl)
6. Gamecube 
7. Dreamcast


Wii U (have yet to be decided)

bsubroncos11 :   People have different opinions, but I think Gamecube should be the number one on your list! Its my favorite console!

skippercapt : Oh No i didn't mean to offend everybody has their own opinions i love every console on this list but i love more than others but the PS2 was awesome so was the gamecube i never had a good amount of games for it i had better games for the PS2 and Xbox

bsubroncos11 :   I'm not offended. I said people have there own opinions. Did you ever play Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door gamecube?

bsubroncos11 : But the mario games it does have are good. Do you still have a gamecube or do you have a wii?

Probably the Play Station 3. I barely have any games for it, and the only game I play on it once in a while is Oblivion. I have a lot of Game Cube games, so the Wii comes in handy, because you can play those on the Wii. I haven't touched my Play Station 3 in several months, because I have no real interest in it anymore. I mainly play Game Cube games now, so yeah.

I have a Virtual Boy. And not just any Virtual Boy, but one that's half beat up.

Beat that.

I can't say that I've disliked a console I got, because I'm poor and getting it was exciting even if it sucked.

But for general lack of play, I'd have to say my Gamecube. It had some pretty neat games and I really liked Mario Sunshine (*ducks the flying boos*) but there were just hardly any other games on it that I wanted. I never really got around to buying many games for it. I should check the pawn shops and see if I can dig it out of hiding and dust it off.

Edit: I just remembered something else: the original robot thing that came with the original Nintendo deck. Does anyone remember that thing? It was literally good for one game-the column game-and nothing else,and even then, after the novelty of controlling the robot wore off, we usually just pushed the buttons with our fingers. Wish I still had it though; it's worth a mint to collectors.

skippercapt : well Super Mario Sunshine was alright but i think it tried to hard to be mario 64 and it just wasn't it was not at all the water blaster was overused and shouldn't have been an integral part of the game.  Luigi's mansion was the 2nd best "Mario" game on the console you know thats not a good thing the zelda games were fairly good if the console had a longer lifespan the console could've been the best ever but it lasted for 4 years and wasn't good compared to the N64. I actually got rid of both my gamecube and my wii but i got a new gamecube free from my friend and the Wii U is out so i don't need a wii

Probably the original DS. The thing had pretty much lost all it's popularity by the time I got it, so it was nearly impossible to find accessories or even a replacement stylus! Plus the touch screen became completely broken later on, so it became impossible to play a lot of my games.

Well we were always too poor to afford much, so a console was a rare thing to come by, so I never really had a console I didn't like. I mean, I just appreciated it too much to dislike. However, as far as consoles that I got the least enjoyment from would probably be the NES simply because we had fewer games that I enjoyed as a kid. Not that it was actually a bad console. It was a good one really.

The sega saturn was the lamest console system that i ever wasted money on when I was younger.

My least favorite console that I have received is a Xbox 360.  All of their accessories and the hardware itself is hard to take care of.  My Xbox that I got wouldn't even turn on the first time I got it!  Now, I usually tend to stick with Sony and their PlayStation 3.
