A Tokyo toy store salesperson shows how to play Nintendo's latest computer game,"Game Boy", July 1989.In the late 1970s, Gunpei Yokoi noticed a man playing with his calculator as he rode the train. The moment inspired Yokoi to invent the Nintendo Game Boy – the first hand-held gaming console to sell in big numbers.
The first Nintendo Game Boy was released in Japan on this day in 1989, and three months later in North America. Nintendo has since sold close to 119 million Game Boys worldwide, revolutionizing how people spend their free time. Its appeal is broad – the small console has even been seen in the hands of U.S. president George H.W. Bush while resting up after a 1991 surgery, and Hillary Clinton was spotted playing one while flying on Air Force One.
When US enacts Police Reform Act, as widely expected across the world, that Act shall be named as George Floyd Act.
