Yes. My grey brick was my Dad's from before I was born until I commandeered it at the age of 4 or 5. I've been told my mom would obsessively play Tetris on it while she was pregnant with me. Not modding the hell out of that one though, just fixing the headphone jack on it. My friend's helping me build a keyboard that plugs into a DMG's link port for use with LSDJ. I got a cheap Gameboy Pocket off eBay to try some of the more internal mods on, like backlighting.
My brother and I had a see-through brick Game Boy. We probably got it quite a bit after it's initial release, though. My brother was pretty young when it first came out, probably one or two years old.
I remember buying the original Game Boy with Tetris back in '93. I used the hell out of that system, but didn't really get back into handheld gaming until the DS/PSP. I wish I knew what I did with it, I just know I don't have it anymore.

I remember when it was released.
That thing ate batteries like you wouldn't believe.
One day I'm going to get Miyamoto to sign it.
