The Game Boy Color is that small, colorful handheldvideo game system clutched by folks playing it everywhere. With a catalog of over 1,000 games and dozens of add-on peripherals, it is a monster of a handheld game system, and a remarkably affordable one at that. 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.

More than a decade later, the system is still going strong. How did the Game Boy successfully compete--and in some cases bury--an onslaught of faster, more powerful handheld and home console systems? Let us count the ways: affordability, a huge library of games that consistently made the most of the hardware's limitations, smart power management that extended battery life, and uncluttered controls. But perhaps it was the system's ultraportable design that allowed devotees to play video games around their schedule, making it the must-have system for kids and adults alike. Less

My son has upgraded from this but we decided to keep it around the house & it still works as good as day 1. I think it would be more for younger kids (10 & under) due to the games that are available.

I like the configuration of this Game Boy the best out of all of them. Unfortunately, the non-backlit screen is a real downer for me. We'd take these on long car trips and they'd be useless unless you had one of those light accessories and even then they were difficult to see. ...
