The Game Boy Color (GBC) is a handheld game console released by Nintendo in 1998. It is the successor to the original Game Boy and features a colour screen and improved hardware over its predecessor.
The GBC features an 8-bit CPU and a 32 kilobyte RAM, which is double the amount found in the original Game Boy. The colour display can show up to 56 different colours on screen at the same time, which is a significant improvement over the original Game Boy's monochrome display.
The console is powered by two AA batteries, which can provide up to 10 hours of gameplay. The GBC is backward compatible with all Game Boy games, allowing players to play their favourite Game Boy titles on the new colour screen.
The GBC also introduced the ability to exchange data with other Game Boy consoles through an infrared port, which allows for wireless communication between devices. Additionally, the console has a link cable port that enables players to connect their consoles for multiplayer gameplay.
The GBC features a wide range of games, including classics like Pokemon Gold and Silver, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX, and Super Mario Bros. Deluxe. The console's popularity continued until the release of the Game Boy Advance in 2001, which eventually replaced the Color.
Overall, the Game Boy Color was a significant improvement over the original Game Boy, providing a colour screen and improved hardware while maintaining backward compatibility with the original Game Boy games. It remains a beloved console among retro gaming enthusiasts and collectors today.
