Game Boy Advance SP $99, software from $40
RIGHT FOR Eight years+
FEATURES An indulgence of adolescents and adults alike, Game Boy was first to feature a built-in rechargeable battery. Remember Bubble Bobble? Old-school-style games are what it’s all about, and that translates into many E for Everybody ratings. Beware: the lit screen is perfect for after-lights-out marathons.
REVIEWER Victoria, 10, St. Thomas, Ont.
THE VERDICT “I love it because you can easily hold it and press all the buttons at the same time and it fits into my purse. But my sister and I are disappointed we can’t each save our own game.” Mom’s words: “Add a headphone jack, please.”
