Console Nintendo Game Boy Color

Pros: Long battery life, great selection of games, simplicity of games.

Cons: Is not backlit.

Review: I can remember when I got my first hand held system, the Sega Gamegear, which was in color from the very start. I played it a lot, and still play it to this day from time to time. But it drained batteries like nobody’s business.

A friend of...

Pros: Small, nice color, many games, easy to find used.

Cons: Still expensive new.

The Bottom Line: Big fun in little package.

Review: Okay, so I don’t have a Game Boy Advance yet. But I don’t think I’m ready for one at this point, I still really like my Game Boy Color. I have recently looked in to the Game Boy Advance and tried many games, but I decided to keep my GBC and I wasn’t...

Pros: MANY games, small, easy to carry

Cons: Price

Review: Game Boy Color came out about a year or two ago and it has taken the world by storm. I just went to the product website, www.gameboy.com, and found out that Nintendo just recently shipped their 100,000,000th Game Boy! That's 1,000 Game Boy's being...

Pros: Keeps kids (and adults) occupied for hours. Fun to play. Many optional add-on devices (like screen magnifiers, rechargable battery packs, speakers, screen lights, etc) available from other manufacturers. Huge selection of games available.

Cons: Costly at nearly $70 apiece. The games get expensive, as do all the additional components. Very little 'free time' left in my life.

Review: I've always loved games. Really. So, when I got a Game Boy Color for Christmas this year, I was rather happy. I mean, I'm a mom and loving wife, but even I have my guilty little pleasures.

But I didn't realize how much of my time this...

Pros: Reasonably priced, great quality, fun games, long-lasting battery life

Cons: The only cool color is Kiwi green...

Review: I'm 20. There, I've said it, and now you know. What you should also know is that my favorite Christmas present this year was my Kiwi-colored Gameboy Color. Immediately, you might say to yourself, "Well, if that was your big gift, and the rest was...

Pros: Color, sleek, lots of games, great gameplay

Cons: Expensive, cant play in the dark

Review: Well, I decided I wanted a Gameboy Color about halfway through December, and now, halfway through January, I finally have it.

Was it worth waiting for a new millenium? Absolutely. Here's why:

* Quick, portable fun. A college...

Pros: Giant Library, Low Battery Consumption

Cons: Low Resolution, Primitive Sound

Review: The Gameboy is my all-time favorite portable system. It has withstood the test of time since the NES days. Now I won't compare it to the Playstation 2 or Dreamcast because that would simply be unfair. The portable market is separate from the bigger...

Pros: Good value, many games to choose from.

Cons: Battery life could have been longer.

The Bottom Line: Whether at home or on the road, it provides solid games, value and small enough to fit in your pocket.

Review: For those that are looking for a great portable video game system for an affordable price, you won't regret getting a Game boy Color.

Back in 1989 or so, Nintendo introduced the original black and white monochrome Game boy portable...

Pros: Software selection, price, practicality

Cons: Nothing

Review: INTRODUCTION

The Game Boy has been around (in different forms) for over ten years. The Nintendo Game Boy was introduced in 1988 (1989 in America). A grey box with a soupy green Dot-Matrix display, and games in a small cartridge format. The...

Pros: Plays ANY GameBoy game. Sharper resolution, nice color (except for a shade of blue thats used a little too often in games), sound is a little more impressive, classic GameBoy fun.

Cons: The reflective screen may make finding a good light source difficult. Developers publish too many bad games for the system. Too kid oriented.

Review: I went through a few original GameBoys since the first one I got ten years ago. I had always hoped and wondered what it would be like if my GameBoy games were in color. I though my prayers were answered when the Super GameBoy came out in 1994 (an...
