The Game Boy launched on April 21, 1989, but it wasn't until June 14 that Nintendo's handheld console found its true raison d'être: a port of a 5-year-old puzzle game from the USSR.
Happy 30th birthday, Game Boy TETRIS!!

We are spoiled that videos from as far back as 2006 are still watchable right now. But youtubes are just files on some reckless corporation's server. They will be lost at some point. 👋

It’s been years now since I moved from Xbox 360 to PS4 as my primary home console and I am still not over the shock of play style differences. Most high-ranked PS4 games feel like mediocre movies in which I am occasionally, grudgingly allowed to do something.
