When my rival's cousin was currently playing Tetris in Senior Kindergarten.

I don't recall the first time I saw a Game Boy. I do remember when I got one though! We got it with Tetris, Boxxle and Garfield. I think it was before we got a Super NES.

The first time I ever saw one was when I was 6 and my grandparents bought me one with Wario Land. A few weeks later my mum bought me Kirby's Dream Land 2. Great games!

I saw one on TV once, then went to my cousin's house to find that he had one (a gray chunky Game Boy to be exact). Then I got my own, which was a yellow Pocket Game Boy.

My grandma had the 'brick' GB w/ Super Mario Land and Tetris. Later it became mine. I sold the unit to my aunt since then, but I still got the games to this date.

I think the first time I saw a Game Boy was on an episode of an old Nickelodeon show called Total Panic. They did a segment on the original Game Boy and the Atari Lynx. (Both had recently been released.)
I was impressed that the games could be changed. Before that, the only portable games I knew of were those Game & Watch style LCD games.

My older brother bought an old gray Game Boy with Pokemon Red one day.
First game I ever played. And I don't even like Pokemon!

I also first saw one at my cousins house. He had Super Mario Land let me play. Later, my sister got one for Christmas with Tetris and Space Invaders. I got a Gameboy Pocket the next year with Donkey Kong '94 and Super Mario Land 2!

I can't remember seeing where I would have seen my first GB before my older brother got his brick GB with Street Fighter 2. His GB was one of those see through ones (entritly clear no colour tints all anything) and you could see all the circultry inside.
A few years later I got my own brick GB that was coloured black.
EDIT: 800 posts! Finally!

First time I saw a Gameboy was when my brother got one of the original ones for Christmas. I wasn't really interested, probably because I was 5 at the time. He kept pushing me to try Links Awakening but I didn't want to know. Eventually I tried it and he still hasnt got it back to this day  |

My mother had it first, and it was an original colour GB with Tetris in it. I was 3 then. She kept trying B-TYPE 9-5 and did beat it a few times, while my dad preferred A-TYPE more. Given GB's dot matrix technology, the graphics was not good and level 9 was pretty hard. Of course, such difficulties are gone as soon as I got my own GB Color (and Tetris was STILL the only game I had). Still can't beat 19-5 though... Such good memories... You know, these would be things that a Tetris DS can't replace. (Yeah... by saying that, the DS one was way tooooo easy with infinite time given for thinking before locking!)

I first saw the original white Game Boy on this commercial, then my brother got one for his 6th or 7th birthday with a carrying bag and only one game: Tetris 1. The second game we got was Bill Elliot's NASCAR Fast Tracks, probably because my sister, my brother or both watch NASCAR races on television. I never did get anymore Game Boy games until I saw the commercial for the Ice Blue Game Boy Pocket with an African-American woman shouting things like "I got ooonnneee!" with the style of saying "Nananananana, you can't catch me!". I got an Ice Blue Game Boy Pocket at a Media Play store in Chattanooga, Tennessee (which was the first thing I bought there. It is also where I got myself a Nintendo GameCube and the last one I got there was a preordered copy of Metroid: Zero Mission. Right now, the Media Play store was changed to an Ashley Furniture store). I still have the same Game Boy my brother got for his birthday and the Ice Blue Game Boy Pocket. |

I really wanted the Ice Blue Game Boy Pocket when I was younger. |

I don't remember the first time I saw a Gameboy, to be honest. I've just had them ever since they came out, you know? My earliest memory is me playing with my Brick Gameboy on a swingset near my cousin's apartment and then dropping it in the dirt by accident. All I needed to do was pick it up and dust it off and the thing worked perfectly, which is pretty much a testament to how sturdy Nintendo handhelds are. (I've recently dropped my DSLite twice onto concrete and, aside from some scuff marks, there's no damage to it.) That should be something Sega (with the GameGear and Nomad) and Sony (with the PSP) should have/ought to try and outdo, because their handhelds were/are fragile pieces of crap.
I do remember beating Kirby's Dreamland for the first time, though. And Super Mario Land. And Super Mario Land 2. And Megaman II...fun times, man.
