In a video that's sure to make you feel old, children have been interviewed after seeing the original Game Boy for the first time.
TheFineBros gave the classic gaming device to youngsters to see if they knew what it was.
First impressions included: "Wait, I've seen this case before - it's an iPhone case," and "Is this an MP3?"
But Dylan, aged 12, recognised it straight away. He said: "I have this! I wanted to buy this for Pokemon Red and Blue."
Some of the kids seemed doubtful of the 25-year-old device's entertainment value. One child said: "It's not like there's going to be any amazing games on it," while another asked: "Did you really enjoy playing this?"
The need for actual physical game cartridges was also not popular, with one child finding it unbelievable that there wasn't an app store to buy games from.
Other videos from TheFineBros include Kids React To 'Gentleman' and Kids React To Walkmans.

This is why I'm introducing my kids to old games first.

Dylan seems like the kind of kid I want to have some day.

I can actually understand why some kids would say it's an iPhone case, they legit have iPhone cases that look like the Game Boy.
They probably have seen these around and figured it was the same time when they showed them the real GB.

I hate this generation of kids for this.
Dylan, I applaud you.

You can't blame them.
If they weren't raised knowing anything about older games, you can't expect them to know. It's like of someone got mad at you for not knowing what an Atari is if you were raised in the Nintendo 64 generation. No need to be condescending over it.
