Continuing on from part one, Damien McFerran of pocketgamer.co.uk brings us part two of the history of Nintendo portables! This time it's the Game Boy, easily a big winner with most.

Read on to find out about the portable which gave birth to some very popular classics and more.

While many Nintendo fans will cite the release of the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System (or 'NES' if you want to save time) as the real turning point in the fortunes of the company, in terms of actual sales the Game Boy is far more significant.

Combined global sales of the Game Boy (and its more technically adept sibling the Game Boy Color) total almost 120 million units - putting the NES's already impressive 60 million firmly in the shade. (To put these staggering figures into perspective, the Xbox 360 is currently sitting on an installed user-base just shy of 30 million.)
