Batteries Included: 1 Binding: Video Game Brand: Nintendo Color: Grape EAN: 0045496710613 Label: Nintendo Manufacturer: Nintendo Platform: Game Boy Color Publisher: Nintendo Studio: Nintendo Editorial Review: Amazon.com: 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 hardcore 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 more than 60 million units worldwide, far outpacing other hand-held game systems. With a catalog of more than 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 black-and-white system. 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. --Eric Twelker Average Rating:

Most of the titles are great and take full advantage of the colors many people say that it's not that great only because there is no backlight, but who cares anyone remember the Gameboy Light? And how did that turn out, horrible nintendo did mot want to take another risk like that and they were right backlights and graphics don't make a game ...
