Probably the greatest pack in video game of all time. It still gives me chills to think when the Game Boy was first released I was ready to blow this off because it came with the handheld system instead of Super Mario Land which I ended up buying together with it.

This kind of addiction is the kind that is motivated by the absolute NEED to top your own best record for a game, and hopefully everyone else’s. This kind …
