The icy hand of Death pass over your soul as you read that sentence? Rather than dwell on the fact that Tetris Theme A has been a part of your life for a quarter-century now, let us instead celebrate this grim and terrible occasion by looking at the greatest games ever to appear on Game Boy and Game Boy Color. Good news, everyone! The Game Boy turns 30 this week. We're re-promoting it here to celebrate its 30th anniversary!
