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.

Now, about the Nintendo Gameboy Color, it is not backlit so you have to have light when playing. Also many of the games have internal batteries that need to be replaced every few years in order for the game to save your progress (such as on Pokémon or a similar game). Also to replace the batteries of these games you need a very unique screwdriver but there's about 200 different offers for them on amazon alone. I'm not saying this purchase is not worthwhile, I personally think the Nintendo Gameboy Color is amazing despite my fondness for more modern devices such as my 3ds. Because it is not backlit, it will take some getting used to if you are used to playing a more modern Nintendo system, but it's definitely worth it in my opinion. The colors are not as prominent as in any old ads you would find, but there are basic tones. It is very flat and two-dimensional to me, but I had been playing a 3ds for a few months before purchasing mine so it may just be that I've grown accustomed to a three-dimensional screen.
The batteries, depending on the brand of course, do not get used up very fast on account that the console is not backlit, and the console requires only two AA's.
