Hillary Clinton: Former defense secretary. Former senator. Former First Lady. Former gamer?
The William J. Clinton Presidential Library Instagram account shared a candid photo of HRC from 1993, presumably flying on Air Force One, playing a gigantic, old Game Boy.

But the burning question is what is Hill playing so intently?
The obvious answer is Tetris, which was sold as a pack-in for most Game Boy systems in the early '90s. But maybe she's playing another classic Game Boy title, like Dig Dug or Dr. Mario, which also crossed generations in their appeal. Or maybe -- just maybe -- she was secretly playing Double Dragon II or Battletoads, which would explain the look of concentration. That could also be the face of someone diving into Links Awakening, the perfect game for a long plane ride.
Whatever it was, we can only hope this photo has the same meme potential as her texting face.
