[Video] Kids React to Game Boy

I never know how to react to these things, when I was their age there were no old consoles/handhelds.

I first saw an Atari 2600 and a TV Game (an console with 3 options of Pong) around 91, when I already had the Master System, and found both interesting.
When my friend that had the 2600 also bought his MS I even exchanged with him some games by the console for a few days.

When I was their age the oldest system around was a 2600, and even that was still being sold in stores.
It was like now we have the PS4, but the PS3 is still around.

so yeah, it always pisses me off how some of those kids (not all) are always like "EEEW OLD TECH"
though at least that one kid with the funny hair admitted that back then the Gameboy was high tech.

Then again, I had a Lynx so the Gameboy always felt like trash to me.

What about the Odyssey? It came out five years before the 2600 and was much lower tech.

These kids are always spoiled brats. Sorry.

I hate white people

Edit: Dylan is MY BOY. He actually seemed genuinely excited to see a Game Boy.
Also Edit: That girl that said "girls can play it" is just begging for a tumblr account... although she has a point.

Why do they make them guess what it is?..why cant they tell them what it is and how games are played. making them guess will just be frustrating a then open to assume its dumb.

I love that bit where they all talk about how you would need to constantly buy new batteries.

I put 4 AA's in my Game Boy forever ago and they are yet to run out, they last forever.

I'n 37 and when I was young, the plug and play consoles like Pong were still cool to try when you came across them and the original Odyssey was still neat, even after we got an Intellivision and some of the best games. Same with electronic handhelds and stuff like Simon or those race car games with rolling images.

It pisses me off so much when I see these kids immediately yell out "HOW U INSTALL TEH APPZ ON THIS?"

You fucking don't you stupid little brats, I'll feel you all to my Shoggoth!

While watching this, I couldn't stop thinking: Their reactions and answers to the questions are pretty much what a lot of non-gamer adults would also say. "Wow, I need batteries for this thing?" "It's heavy! And the screen is so small!" I think these are pretty standard comments for someone who's never used the device before.

There weren't many (if any) of the stupid comments I was expecting, like "The touch screen doesn't work!" or "How do I get to Google?"

I alway take solace in the fact that all the crap they love now will be junk soon and faster than the Gameboy which for a long time.

These kids are so cute - and pretty smart! Love it. Great idea.
