Current Goal

For me, the Game Boy is a true landmark of my childhood...and I believe for a lot of you as well ! So I decided to put it out on a true adventure, like so many of the characters in the games did.

This Game Boy has a very simple mission: to reach motherland and come back. This means that it must travel all the way to the Nintendo Main Headquarters, in Kyoto, Japan (N 34°58'11.1" E 135°45'22.4") and come back to Portugal to complete his journey across the world !

Please help this fellow achieve its mission and post photos of the places it visited :)

About This Item

GameBoyGeocoin_sample

The Game Boy is an 8-bit handheld videogame device developed and manufactured by Nintendo. It was released in Japan on April 21, 1989, in North America on July 31, 1989, and in Europe on September 28, 1990.

It became very popular during the 90's, transcending even the typical demograhic for video game consoles at the time. The Game Boy and its sucessor, the Game Boy Color, have a combined 118.69 million units sold worldwide. In 2009, the Game Boy was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame, 20 years after its introduction.

Today, the Game Boy is a true popular culture icon !
