The end of the ’80s brought one of the most desired toys of the decade, the first Nintendo Game Boy. The handheld game console was a mega success, with kids all over the country begging their parents to buy them one.

With many people already crazy about the Nintendo Entertainment System, which was launched in ’85, this portable device meant that kids could take Super Mario Bros. with them wherever they went. In this picture from 1989, this mom is seen here helping her children through a tough level in Super Mario on their brand new Game Boy.
