Before digital cameras were common place, the only way you could take digital photos at an affordable price was via cheap and nasty cameras or add-on contraptions for the Game Boy.
Speaking of Nintendo’s little pocket rocket, the below photos of New York City landmarks and people were taken with a Game Boy camera back in 2000. There is a certain charm in grainy low-resolution black and white photos – heck, there are camera apps nowadays emulating this on your smartphone! We may have come a long way with camera resolution being measured in the tens of megapixels, but we still love the fuzzy feeling we get when seeing these heavily pixelated photos.

Oh my! So this is what happens when you take a toilet break during your Mario gaming! Hide your good chinaware and duck under that deadly cannon. I hope your home and contents insurance policy covers Mario destruction!
Let’s be honest, when it comes to Mario Kart games, you are either a Super Mario Kart or a Mario Kart 64 fan. I definitely fall in the latter fan group – Mario Kart 64 always felt more polished and fun to play (relax SMK fans, put those pitchforks away!).
Do you want to see the start screen of every single NES game ever released? More importantly, do you have three hours to kill? If you have answered yes to both of these questions, then put your feet up, press play and get your NES nostalgia hit!
