No. Gameboy is portable.
But indeed there is a (less close) scene like on MSX... The same goes for
the TI-83 calculator (also a Z80 by the way). From that view, the 'big
argument' of ASCII indeed makes sense. But it still is flawd: people already
have got TI-83's for school, and they've got Gameboy's for the games on the
holidays. Those things primary use is different from 'home computing', and
they are small and fairly inexpensive. I doubt if a machine primarily aimed
at home computing would be a success.
