Product Description

Product Description

The Game Boy is that small, colorful handheld video game system clutched by folks playing it everywhere. Popular among a wide age group, including a good number of airport-lounging power executives, the Game Boy has a true hard-core fan base comprised of millions (and millions) of kids around the globe.

Nintendo's Game Boy debuted in the late '80s and has since sold over 60 million units worldwide, far outpacing other hand-held game systems. With a catalog 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 Color 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 colors 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 Color, but buyers should note that not all Game Boy Color games will work on the original Game Boy system.

The Game Boy Color system is available in an exotic array of colors 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.

From the Manufacturer

Game Boy Color was the ultimate evolution of the original Game Boy system. Released in 1998, Game Boy Color added a color display that allowed for a palette of over 32,000 colors. Game Boy Color was compatible with hundreds of original Game Boy games, and also played games that were specially enhanced for Game Boy Color (though it cannot play Game Boy Advance games). Game Boy Color was available in many colors such as Teal, Kiwi, Grape, Berry, Dandelion and Atomic Purple.

    This is the best system that they did come out with beside's the GBA and GBA SP and technically the original game boy advance really wasn't all that great it was just a spin off of the game boy color the only difference smaller games the GBA SP is pretty good back light on screen and charger that plugs in to my wall yeah it's nice but it doesn't quite have the same old feeling I get when I play the game boy color the GBC bring's back a lot of good old memories excellent games for that system even when I look here or at gamestop or electronic boutiques I alway ask for the older games you just can't beat old school no matter how hard you try yeah some of the newer game's are alright but I still like old school games nothing beats them better the GBC is exactly like the GBA SP only the GBC doesn't fold and doesn't have the smaller games that's the only difference and the GBC does have a charger that can plug in to the wall because I looked into it on this website: [...].

    5.0 out of 5 stars Still one of the most durable hand helds
    Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2011
    Color: GrapeVerified Purchase
    I have had almost every model of gameboy Nintendo had put out. The big gray one I barely remember as mine was stolen by a cousin when I was barley old enough to hold one, but I played my dads and brothers often before I got the pocket for christmas(still very young, no older than 8) but though I took care of it the system fell off my nightstand and broke(the nightstand was no more than two feet) Finally a few years later I was given the grape gameboy color. The batteries were cheap and the game system had been through the washer a few times dropped on concrete many many times had Dr. Pepper spilled on it and still works.

    The SP is the only system that went close to the same ware and not break. My DS died at a Dr.Pepper exploding in my purse and my Dsi has been handle most carefully after.

    The game boy color is nearly indistinguishable in my day and I still use my color because of road trips to a hospital in Dallas and not having to bring a charger but a $1 pack of AA and not have to worry about being board while waiting for the huge hospital to catch up. The lack of back light isn't a problem but then again I was born the year the first edition hit the shelves, and have grown up with out such convinces.

    I recommend the game boy color for young users but old timers probably should go with the SP.

    So I have tried playing a few different games on this Gameboy Color, but none of the files are saving at all. If I can not save the game and am unable to progress because of it, there is no point in having the product.

    Granted, i can't really fault a 24 year old refurbished product from being completely perfect, so be aware there are a few blemishes, and the screen mildly pops out (very slight). The GameBoy functions beautifully, powered up and plays all my old games just like my original had when i was young. It has made me happy and i'm glad i have a GBC again

    5.0 out of 5 stars Gameboy Color- Grape
    Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2010
    Color: GrapeVerified Purchase
    This was is my favorite game boy out of the whole franchise. Lots of new game boy color games and you can still play the old game boy games in color too. But like all the old game boys , expect to squint. Especially this one because it has the smallest screen in the retro line. The processor is still 8 bit but has faster and better quality hardware 8 bit then the others.So basically, it has a better quality 8 bit processor. It takes two AA's instead of two AAA's. Slightly bigger than the game boy pocket. It has a special infrared port on the top for exchanging data and accessing bonus levels and stuff. Not used frequently though. Some games that use that are super mario brothers and bomberman. Still not back lit though. All in all great classic system.

    Pros:
    now in color
    better processor
    game boy color games
    takes only 2 AA batterys
    Cons
    not back lit
    thats really it there really is no cons for its time.
