i got a game boy as my 1st console and it is still one of my favorites today. after the gameboy i got a nes then a mega drive.

Bottom Line: Gameplay > Graphics

Sure graphics play a big role in the presentation, but the thing is if a game ain't fun, you're not gonna stick around just because it looks pretty, maybe for the story if you want to find out the ending, but oh wait yeah i forgot about a little thing called the internet.
