Game Boy Color (Purple... or as it's actually called: Grape)
Not only my oldest hand held, but the ONLY hand held I own. (At least it still works and I can still play my games on it...Meaning it still works!)

Oldest? Game Gear. Then Gameboy Pocket, and then color, and then DS.

Lulz. I loved my (brother's) game gear. I think we still have it actually, like in my basement. I don't think he took it after all.

He must have confused "puce" with "puke."
Most likely. I never owned an original gameboy, but I know enough people that do. One thing that always bugged my about it (other than its mastodonic size) was the fact that you could change the contrast. I see no point in making its already difficult to see screen ever more impossible to see, or simply uglier.

As for the oldest handheld I own...sadly, the DS. Ive owned almost every nintendo handheld, but they all end up getting lost or broken one way or another. Its not like I use my DS at all though; not with the way nintendo is heading with their games. The most I used it for was Pokemon D/P, but I sold that to get some xbox 360 games.

The DS has tons of fantastic games. Certainly way more than the Wii.

It does have a lot of good games, but Ive played most of them. The ratio is going down with the wii though, but in a more on-the-go teaching way, such as 'my stop smoking coach' and math tutors. There is definitely a few games I still want to try though (for both DS and wii), but it may be a while before I pull my full attention back to nintendo.
