Game Boy Color



"Get into it!"

The Game Boy Color was Nintendo's next handheld system after the hugely successful Game Boy.

This machine was more than just "the Game Boy with a color screen tacked on", as its processor was twice as fast and it had three times the memory. It was almost fully backwards compatible with games for the original Game Boy, but not completely the other way around: Game Boy Color games on a black cartridge will work on the original Game Boy, but those on a transparent cartridge (the vast majority) will only give you an error message.

Its successor, the Game Boy Advance, can run almost all Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles. Similarly, the Game Boy Player add-on for the Gamecube can run almost all Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance titles - again, with just a few incompatible titles.
