Nintendo Game Boy

Looking back, I really don’t know how an alien robot materializing a boy holding a Game Boy with a blast from a fingertip ever made it past the pitch stage for this ad. There weren’t even any robot-themed games in the Game Boy’s limited launch lineup, but watching this kid defeat the alien (I’m assuming?) in a game of head-to-head Tetris and then vaporizing it made a device I was already obsessed with as a kid seem even more amazing.
