Restored Nintendo Game Boy Color Console Transparent Orange (Refurbished)

The Game Boy is that colorful little handheld video game system that people play everywhere. Popular with a wide age group, including a fair number of power executives for airport lounging, the Game Boy has a truly hard-core fan base made up of millions (and millions) of kids around the world. The Nintendo Game Boy debuted in the late 1980s and has since sold more than 60 million units worldwide, far surpassing other handheld game systems. With a catalog of more than 1,000 games and dozens of additional peripherals, the Game Boy is a monster of a handheld gaming system, and a remarkably affordable one at that. Early March 1998 brought the release of the Game Boy Color system, an improved version of the original. It is equipped with an 8-bit CPU, doubling the computing power of the original Game Boy. The small LCD screen can display up to 56 colors simultaneously (from a palette of 32,000 colors), delivered via enhanced video processing memory that provides remarkably sharp and vibrant graphics. The hundreds of games available range from wildly compelling to instantly forgettable. Quality or not, the entire library of games designed for the original system can be played on the 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 variety of colors and special editions. Additional accessories and peripherals abound, enhancing the gaming experience with vibrational feedback to in-game bumps and bumps, extra battery power, and even a smart camera package that allows gamers to capture, adjust, and print images.
