When I was a little kid about 7 or 8 years old my parents bought me a Gameboy. I was really happy at the time but the only thing was that I couldn't play allthe games I wanted too. I liked how durable this game system was because to be honest I silll have it today and it works perfectly finme it just has a few dents and a few scratchs. I think that this game systems battery could definetly use a little fixing up. I say this because the batttery life is not exactly the longest. I think that before I actually bought this game I would of wished that I was told that it had such a poor battery life. If I was told how bad the life of the battery was I am not sure if I would have even bought this device in the first place.
