I remember this family trip to Mt. Rainier when I was 10. They bought me a Mickey Mouse coloring book for the road trip. When we did get there, and we were heading back to the parking lot, I thought "Alright, I finally get to go back to my coloring book!!" But no, we were looking at the sights AROUND the parking lot. So I was bummed. I dunno, I guess kids think looking at s bunch of rocks is boring. You tend to appreciate things like mountains when you're older.

Oh yeah!!! I still remember the games I bought specifically for my family's roadtrips. I got Duck Tales in 1992, Mega Man II for 1993, Duck Tales 2 for 1994, Spy vs. Spy for 1995 (though we didn't go that year), and Link's Awakening for 1996. I'm pretty sure I got Darkwing Duck for 1997 or 1998 but never opened that one up to this day (I have to since the game is awesome).

I remember I used to get carsick when I played my gameboy in the car, finaly I got over that when I was like 7 but, those were some boring car rides, especially with the gameboy sitting right in front of me and not being able to play it.

I always carried a pack of double AA's on me when we went to like the 7 lakes or somewhere far lol

So true. I remember using my holiday trip to Greece playing through Pokemon blue.

oh yer

Yup. Then the battery dies D:

I always got insta-motion sickness when I tried

It's too bad I always got motion sickness whenever I tried playing my Game Boy in the car during family trips. :'(

that's what it was made for

Damn right it did, also gave me a great excuse wear headphones

Yeup remember hating long trips since there was nothing to do before having a handheld.

It made me say "we're here already?"

For the love of God yes. A 12 hour car ride becomes so much more manageable when you're, say, trying to catch every Pokemon.

Try playing Ice Climbers for the GBA on a mountain. It's wild!

I get car sick

Too true.

Also good for making younger brothers shut the F*** up

SOoooo effin true
