GameBoy helped change the world
According to Popular Mechanics, that is:
48. Game Boy
Today, portable gaming is a fact of life–most people have games like Angry Birds and Bejeweled on their smartphones. But when the original Nintendo Gameboy was released in 1989, there had never been a successful cartridge-based portable game system. Perhaps it was the decision to bundle a little-known puzzle game called Tetris with the gadget, but Gameboy went on to become one of the most successful video game platforms ever released, with more than 150 million systems and half a billion games sold worldwide.
