This double-page "Computer-Corner" feature comes from a 1992 issue of the German comic magazine Fix und Foxi. Aimed at young readers, it mixes news, tips and reviews of Game Boy games, among them Dr. Mario, Boulder Dash, Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Rache and the four-player F-1 Race, and even wraps a Hyde and Byte comic strip around the coverage.
Its headline, "Game Boy kennt keine Altersgrenzen" (the Game Boy knows no age limits), and a sidebar on gaming fun for grown-ups capture just how mainstream Nintendo's handheld had become in Germany by 1992, popular enough to earn its own regular section in a children's comic. It is a nice snapshot of how the Game Boy was written about for its original audience.
