This year a got a DS lite and was immediately brought back to childhood and the memories I had with my Gameboy. I only had the original version, which meant that I saw seaweed green. It was the best Christmas ever! My parents also got me Super Mario Land to go with it. They even had enough money to get my younger sister one too. It was such a huge deal to me to have my own handheld system. You could play it whenever you wanted and play what you wanted. I also saved up and bought the TaleSpin game for mine. It wasn't a very good game and rarely played it, because it was so hard and some stages where so dark that you couldn't see very well, especially when everything was in a black or greenish color. My favorite game by far was Super Mario Land. I'm not a gammer and don't pretend to be one, but that game was challenging, but was also a lot of fun. (I still don't think that I have ever beat it)
I remember being very jealous of my cousin because he had an NES in his bedroom, a Gameboy, and a Sega Game Gear. My Gameboy still works, and just sold the system, the Super Mario Land game, TaleSpin game, and the carrying case on ebay. I desperately needed the money and if I knew how little I would have gotten for that lot, I would still have them in my possession.
