Game Boy

Tetris is the best-selling game on the Game Boy. More than any other title, it defined the system and helped turn Nintendo's handheld into a worldwide phenomenon.

Its appeal lies in its simplicity: easy to learn, hard to put down, and timeless in design. The console was bundled with Tetris in several markets, and a number of those Tetris bundles are catalogued in the collection alongside this US cartridge.
