Top Five: RPGs on the Nintendo Gameboy

        Welcome to this episode of RPGGamer Top 5s, and this time we'd like to list the top 5 RPG's for Nintendo's all conquering handheld, the Gameboy!
        The gameboy was launched in April 1989, based around a Custom 8-bit Sharp processor running at 4.19mhz, the system had 8 Kilobytes of internal memory, and 8 kilobytes of video memory, displaying 2 bit 4 colour graphics at a resolution of 160x144 pixels. The processor was capable of a frame rate of 59.7 frames per second, but the 2.6 inch lcd screen would blur on scrolling, making the system unsuited to fast moving games.
        The gameboy had 4 buttons, marked A, B Select and Start, as well as a d-pad controller, and although technically behind many of it's rivals such as the Atari Lynx and Sega Game Gear, it used less power, making it's batteries last for longer a key point in making the system attractive to buyers.
        Sales continued until 2001, by which time the handheld has sold a massive 118 million units, and it's largest selling title was Tetris, a game so good that many just bought the Gameboy for that one game, which remains as addictive as ever to this day.
