Like any other Game Boy back then, the GBC blew my elementary school mind.
The Game Boy Color featured an all new color screen that allowed me to do less imagining when playing games. The color was impressive but I felt like it was overdue by then and the graphics weren't all that impressive to me... Read the full review →

Ever, since it's release in '98, this bad boy has been part of my gaming arsenal. i can remember back when this was THE system to have. Performance wise, it's still pretty good. You're guaranteed no lag, it has one of the widest selections of games, and it was portable. You could... Read the full review →

The GameBoy Color was a decent portable, but even for its time it wasn't particularly special, and nowadays there isn't really any recommending it. Either GBA model is a better choice. Physically, it's a bit too small to hold comfortably (compared to the Original GameBoy or the Original GameBoy... Read the full review →

I haven't really been into the recent handheld gaming scene with the PSP and the DS and what not. I went out and bought a Gameboy color for $10, and love it all over again. Pokemon red/blue is still one of my favorite games ever. The graphics aren't fancy, but the quality of the games... Read the full review →

Although our model is the Game Boy Color when it was purchased second hand the screen had become black and white only. There doesn't seem to be any back-lighting so we have an attachment with a light to shine down on the screen. This is a fun device and fits nicely for two handed use. We enjoy...

I can remember the birthday I opened the gameboy color along with a copy of game and watch gallery 2 like it was yesterday. I logged tons of hours on pokemon red and enjoyed playing around with the obscure gameboy camera in a time before a camera was included in any gadget you could get your hands...

I just wanted to write a review on this because the Gameboy is really a classic. I grew up playing pokemon and other various games on it during long trips and just for fun. It's really a wonderful little device that's supported great games that have now either gone into the history books or been... Read the full review →
