Loved reading all the stories! I actually fell in love with the Gameboy in my adult life. Never could afford it as a kid. In fact, we couldn't afford much so I didn't really play too many video games except 3 or 4 NES titles that we would borrow.
As an adult, traveling here and there for work, I wanted to play some games during my travels that I had some connection with. The gameboy was the only choice since I always wanted one as a kid. About 7 years ago, I bought myself a gameboy and a few games, Tetris, Alleyway and Contra. I haven't stopped since. There are sooo many great titles for the gameboy. I still think it has the greatest library of any handheld. Almost weekly I discover some new game that I have to acquire and play at some point. Right now I'm playing Flappy Special. It's a Japanese exclusive puzzler. It's a fun little title...and allows me to kill time while I wait for my flights.
