Introduction to the GameBoy Color
The GameBoy Color: My faithful companion since its release in 1998. Even today, many years after it was discontinued in 2003, it remains one of my most-loved handheld gaming consoles. The GameBoy Color was the fourth iteration of the GameBoy in the GameBoy family manufactured by Nintendo. Predecessors include the GameBoy, GameBoy Pocket and the GameBoy Light (Japan only). The GameBoy Color was the first GameBoy to feature a colour screen.
