Retro Tech: Game Boy

The Game Boy is the most popular handheld gaming console ever. It allowed us to take games like Tetris, Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda with us on-the-go, changing the gaming industry and our free time forever. On the 30th anniversary of its release, Marques Brownlee unboxes and explores how the Game Boy came to be, it's impact on society, and why it's leaving us feeling so nostalgic.

[Ammarx]

finally a YouTube Originals series that is worth watching

I've watched this kid's videos since the beginning, and it's so rad that he's now making these beautifully edited documentaries like this. It's like this dude's career is an example of Moore's Law. Insane. He's advancing at the same lightning rate as the tech he reviews.
And by the way, perfect video length for this kind of thing. Really like a video-podcast.
Nailed it, man.

[Calmfries]

The quality of this video, or I should say documentary is so crispy. 12/10.

I just love the fact that they had a surprise tech underneath their chair and still they came prepared to talk about gameboy.

[cunningham-code]

"Look Under Your Chair"
MKBHD is the tech Oprah. Change my mind.
