Yes, the ball is just now being inducted into the hall of fame, meaning Nintendo's handheld made the cut in two decades, while the ball had been clawing for a spot since the days of Ancient Egypt. In your face, Ozymandias.

It's strange ..why it took the judges only this year 2009 to select game boy as the winner.?
It has been one of the pioneer if not the first and the best handheld portable gaming console way back in 90's.
The awarding of GB should be a no-brainer.

I even remember how I felt terribly bad when my schoolmates don't lend me a gameboy..
ahhh, nostalgia!

I met a gamer from a far-distant land
Who said: Three grand and mighty companies
Stand in the market. Near them, writ in sand
Half lost, a shatter'd concern's legacies;
That triple beam, vert'cal and three-fold band
Tell that its players well those games have read
Which yet survive (in compilation things).
The ages mocked them, and the cash they bled.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Bushnell's Atari, King of Kings:
Look on my games, ye fanboys, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

I guess when you write the great graphic novel "Game & Watchmen," it'll focus on a rogue named Atari with a plot to fake an invasion of alien koopas who kidnap the princess.

So I went and looked at their website of 44 inducted toys. Among them, and I kid you not, is a stick... A stick... A ball is rather general, but at least it's constructed. But, a STICK?!? Seriously?

Well how else are you going to play stickball? The name has the two things you need to play. Why not include the other component of the game as well?

Are you serious? when you're a kid, a stick was probably one of the greatest toys of all time. And the best thing of all, it was free!!!

Was this "Stick" listed before or after "Giant Hoop"?
Are great grand-parents would be proud.

I remember when I got my first Gameboy. My cousin gave me her (at the time) new Gameboy she had for about a year. I remember popping in Tetris, looking at the incredibly green screen and saying, "This is my life now..." I've been hooked on video games since that day.

Is Music B the "dooo do do dooo do do dooo do do dooo do do dooo, doo doo dooo doo doo dooo" or the "dun du-du-dun dun dun du-du-dun dun dun du-du-dun dun"? I'm pretty sure it's not the "bu-bim bu-bim bu-bim bu-bim bu-bim bu-bim bu-bim" one.

What?!? The rock gets shut out again!
Actually, seeing how the Atari 2600 also is in the museum, I'm a little surprised that the "stand-up arcade machine" - or even "pinball" - haven't made it in yet, either. After all, they were predecessors to the Atari and the Game Boy too, and helped to lead the way to video games.
Hmm... I don't see "playing cards" on the list, either. Perhaps I need to toss some nominations their way for consideration for next year....
