Game Boy is 35. If you feel the grays starting to poke through your mane, you aren’t alone. It’s hard to believe that so much time has passed since the handheld made its debut and revolutionized how people play video games on the go. Nintendo took to social media to recognize the milestone with the following post:

With Nintendo Switch Online, players are able to relive some of the fun of that handheld, but nothing tops playing the real thing. So if you have a Game Boy, give it some love, and remember how much modern gamers owe to its numerous innovations.
