Gameboy stories hmm?

I don't know if I have any good ones.

I fell on some pretty hard luck, my brother and I were basically starting over, living with our mom after our dad did something stupid. All I got to take with me is a few comic books I read a dozen times and some clothes.

I followed my brother around a lot, and one day he led me to a skate park. I didn't really skate so I just sort of wandered around and played wih some bugs. My brother knew I loved video games, and brought me a kid who was selling a gameboy color with Tetris, Pacman, Metroid 2, and Tennis, for 12 bucks. I only had about 6 bucks, my brother, who used to be a cool dude haven't spoken to him in 6 months because he's not so cool anymore gave me the extra to buy the stuff.

Come to find out, the kid selling the gameboy? Those weren't his to sell. He took his brother's shit to sell. The little porker went straight to McDonalds and bought a ton of burgers and fries with his ill gotten profits. The guy was really cool about it though and let me keep the gameboy.

Got me through some bleak times. I almost beat Metroid 2.

That wasn't my first gameboy or anything though, but in the past it was just a pokemon machine that eventually got stolen, and then it's replacement had to be left behind when my dad did the stupid thing mentioned previously in this post.
