The Game Boy is that small, colourful hand-held video game system clutched by folks playing it everywhere. Popular among a wide age group, including a good number of airport-lounging power executives, theGame Boy has a true hard-core fan base comprising millions (and millions) of kids around the globe.Nintendo's Game Boy debuted in the late 1980s and has since sold over 60 million units world-wide, far outpacing other hand-held game systems. With a catalogue of over 1,000 games and dozens of add-on peripherals, Game Boy is a monster of a hand-held game system, and a remarkably affordable one at that. Early March 1998 brought the release of the Game Boy Colour system, an upgraded version of the original. It is equipped with an 8-bit CPU, doubling the original Game Boy's computing power. The small LCD screen can display up to 56 colours simultaneously (out of a 32,000-color palette), delivered via boosted video processing memory that provides remarkably sharp and vibrant graphics. The hundreds of available games vary from tremendously compelling to instantly forgettable. Quality or not, the entire library of games designed for the original system is playable on Game Boy Colour, but buyers should note that not all Game Boy Colour games will work on the original Game Boy system. The Game Boy Colour system is available in an exotic array of colours and special editions. Accessories and add-on peripherals abound, enhancing the playing experience with vibrating feedback to in-game bumps and crashes, extra battery power and even a clever camera package that allows players to capture, tweak and print images.

This console is very outdated, but has a lot of good old fashioned stuff that the newer consoles lack - durabilty. During my playing of a year, I had bashed it around 50 times accidentally or on pupose. If I did that to a DS, it would break on first impact! One problem I have got with it is that there wern't many good games and only Pokemon was really good. I was addicted to Pokemon - spent hours on it...
Anyway, anyone interested in buying an old hand-held for nostagia value, this is the one for you (though I would reccomend the garish pink one I had). But if you are looking for the latest, you are looking in the wrong place!
 Cheap As Chips, But Didn't Have It's Days! August 10, 2006

The Game Boy Color was unfortunately, one of those consoles, which was released at a very late time, since it was out around summer 1998 and then within the next 2 years, came magazines with announcements of the new Game Boy Advance Console!
The Game Boy Color was built for Game Boy Games that needed to have colour technology, in order for the cartridge games to be played! The most particular reason why this console was bought was so that young ones can play the latest Pokemon Silver, Gold & Crystal Versions in realistic colour, rather than just plain black and white, which that lasted with us for about 10 years at that time!
The Game Boy Color also features little tiny gadgets, which include a built in headphone system, link cable plug inns, and a volume tuner for increasing and decreasing volume! All for at a cost of just 2 AA Batteries, which would normally last a week to 2 weeks for a normal paced gamer!
I only wanted a Game Boy Color, so that I can play Wario Land 3, as Wario Land 3 needed a Game Boy Color, in order for it's play, at the time of it's release and I can remember paying my mum at least 30- 40 into getting me one of these small puppies! Nowadays, you can get one of these, for under a tenner!
My Console Rating: 7/10: On The Ball, Down-But Not Out, OK
My Wish: Perhaps, if the Game Boy Color was released earlier around 1996-1997, then maybe it would have had a longer life and more games on the go!
My Recommend Games For The Console: Super Mario Deluxe, Wario Land 2 & Wario Land 3
Final Comments: Unless, you are a console collector, it is pointless, getting one of these consoles nowadays, since the Game Boy Advance has taken control of it! I still own my Game Boy Color, just for the sake of Trading and Raising Pokemon on the old Pokemon Cartridge Games! So I would only recommend this console, if you are low on cash or just need something to transfer data, such as Pokemon!

Excellent February 18, 2006

While outdated now, the GB color was and still is a must for any hardcore Ninty fan. For its time, the console was a masterpiece, bringing the now famous names of Mario, Zelda and Pokemon into glorious 16-bit colour. Although the Advance, SP and now DS are probably better buys now, the color is still, IMO, one of the best consoles that Nintendo brought out.
