...:::FrecruZ:::...: Nintendo Gameboy/Color

Originally launched in 1989 the Nintendo Gameboy came bundled with the classic tetris game. Worldwide it was a massive hit due to its simplistic design and ease of use. As always with Nintendo the games were superb and by 1990 it was the must have yuppie toy in London. Gameboy and Gameboy Color combined have sold over 11 million units. It is undoubtly both a gaming and design classic and defined a generation.

I compiled the following library from several partial rom sets and am confident that at 1.4GB this is the most complete Gameboy and Gameboy Color rom set available anywhere.
