My Gaming Machines-Then & Now
Gameboy
The Gameboy was released in the EU on the 28 September 1990. I enjoyed this gaming platform because it was easy to travel with you could just place it in your bag or pocket and carry it anywhere with you. The stuff I didn't enjoy consist of the graphics, this is because it was black and white, and the battery life, this is because it would go for hours if you charged it fully, meaning more game time! The main thing i didn't enjoy about the Gameboy was that it didn't have an illuminated screen, so unless you had a light you could barely see what your doing.
My favourite game for the Gameboy was Pokemon Yellow, unlike the other Pokemon games such as Pokemon Red and Blue, in Yellow you would have a Pikachu following you around as you enjoy your Pokemon adventure!

3DS
The 3DS or 3 Developers System, was released on February 26th 2011 in Japan but later released worldwide on March the same year. I enjoy this platform because it has 2 screens and for games such as Pokemon it makes the menu easier to use for example you will be playing on the top screen and accessing the menu on the bottom without having the need to pause. I also enjoy this platform because it has a 3D option implemented into the 3DS without the need to wear 3D glasses. The one thing I dislike about this platform is the battery life as it states that the battery life is five hours but can only achieve around three?
My favourite game for the 3DS is Super Smash brothers Brawl because it combines big characters such as Mario, Link and Pikachu and makes them fight off in a battle to win!
The specs for the 3DS are as follow:
