When we’re considering the most iconic images of the 20^th century, the one that catches our eye most isn’t some sailor returning from the war and getting action in the street, nor is it that Marilyn Monroe upskirt shot that everyone thought was racy because Lindsey Lohan hadn’t been invented yet… No, for us the most visually stimulating and emotionally evocative image of the last century is the Game Boy, the clunky NES Jr. that saved handheld gaming from the tyranny of Mr. Game-and-Watch.

Just look at that simplicity, the functionality, the aesthetics.   A perfect machine really, at least for the time.  There were no eye warnings or numb hands back then… Just you, your video game world, and the long drive to grandma’s.  But now Game Boys exist only in memories (and the houses of hoarders and collectors).  And yet… it seems that the world feels its absence.  Artists, designers, and everyday people find themselves drawn to that little green screen and those little red buttons.
