Nintendo Game Boy Color White Console

Pros: A cheaper more convenient video game unit for your children.
Cons: They now have a updated version called the Game Boy Advance.

My Game Boy Kids- The Nintendo Game Boy Color

The first Game Boy we owned made its way into our home some 6 or 7 years ago. The Game Boy at that time was a larger more "bulkier" black and white model. (Today...

Pros: Color; dirt cheap; tons of games to choose from
Cons: Short shelf life; no backlight; might as well get an advance

In 1998, Nintendo decided it was time for a major update to their trusty, black and white Gameboy. Believe it or not, a whopping 60 million of those little black and white units around the world were sold between the Gameboy's release in 1988 (in Japan...

Pros: Easy to use controls, color screen, can play color or b/w games, great battery life.
Cons: Considered a dinosaur in the world of hand held video games.

Wow, I might get some serious hate mail for the title of this review but to me, the GameBoy Color is the best hand held video game unit. Look at the variety of the titles that you can get for it [granted most of them are older but still ...], the ...

Pros: Miniature fun, minor headaches, major pleasure
Cons: Easy to lose that confuddled thang

Gameboy Color was my daughter's reward for a perfect report card last year. Purple was the flavor of the month, and purple was the color that she wanted, along with Pokemon Blue game to accompany the Gameboy.

Picture a handheld console smaller...

Pros: It still has a great list of addictive games.
Cons: The technology is pretty old so expect lots of slowdown and bland visuals.

GAMEBOY COLOR (November 23, 1998-2002) Nintendo finally answers all the critics, angry e-mails, and pretty much everyone in the world about the overall suckyness of the original old black and white Gameboy's. In 1998 they finally released the ...

Pros: Simplicity, cost, backward compatibility
Cons: Lack of new features

I bought the original Game Boy in 1990 for about $100 and with the hope that I could extend the reach from my Nintendo/Super Nintendo away from home. How can such ancient technology beat out all of its competition? Through the decade it has put up with...

Pros: color, Pokemon series, RPGs
Cons: backlighting

I didn’t get my Game Boy Color until sometime in late 1999, or early 2000. I had been wanting one along with Pokemon Red for a long time, but my parents would never buy it themselves. So the summer before I got it, I mowed as many yards as I could and...

Pros: Hundreds of games
Cons: Most are hits and misses

Way back to about 13 years ago, in 1989, Nintendo released their first ever portable system. At that same time SEGA had their portable system out, the Gamegear. Gamegear seemed to have been doing better with color and more games. But eventually, Gameboy...

Pros: Very portable, long battery life, great colour screen
Cons: Screen can't be seen in the dark, controls can be numbing to use

The original monochrome Game Boy was produced by Nintendo and released in Japan in late 1988. It found it’s way to the United States, subsequently winning many hearts there with it’s compact form and the provision of a great variety of games from which...

Pros: Crisp screen, good sound, large library of games, durable, good battery life
Cons: No backlight, old technology compared to modern systems

Introduction Nintendo has the formula for handheld video games pretty much figured out. They realized, from their overwhelming success in the 80's, that the majority of their market don't care about the number of bits, processor speed, memory, ...

Pros: Much improved screen, extremely portable, good battery life
Cons: Too small for bigger hands, lots of sub-par games

I remember being 10 years old, and desperately wanting a Game Boy. It had just come out and it blew my fragile 10-year-old mind. I mean, a video game system that you can play anywhere was too much for me to handle and I needed one. I ended up getting...

Pros: Color, highly efficient, multiple housing colors.
Cons: Obsolete less than three years after release, overall bad games.

Everyone and their sister had a Game Boy within six years of the release of that beautiful system. I got mine in 1992 at the tender age of seven in preparation for a cross-country trip. That system served me well for several years, during the ages when ...

Pros: Good titles, nice size
Cons: Overshadowed by new worse system, some titles sucked

I am entering this write-off, which was officially on the 19th, late because of certain difficulties beyond my control prevented me from making the actual deadline. I’m sorry for the inconvenience and hope that you read this and the contributions from...

Pros: Some awesome 2D RPGs
Cons: Extremely dated hardware

Over the years I have owned a Game Boy Color (or regular Game Boy, they're essentialy the same thing, though one has color and the other don't), I have played a very good amount of solid and ultimately playable RPGs for the system. Games like Final...

Pros: Price, games, controls, and developers
Cons: Not enough buttons for fighting games

After taking up Coaching and discovering that most of my time as a Coach would be taken video taping matches. It occured to me that for long bus rides and the break after matches or going through the team break there was something which was needed to ...
