So yesterday I started my blog by generally talking about how I started gaming. Now I would like to go into a little detail about the Nintendo Gameboy Color.
It was released to North America November 19th 1998 and came after the original Gameboy. The logo for the Gameboy color contains the word COLOR with each letter being a different color. The C is pink, O purple, L green, O yellow, and R teal. Each letter represents a color that a Gameboy Color could be purchased in. As you might remember, mine is Green. I like how Nintendo made its logo correspond to its system colors and how there were so many starting system colors. I also remember a friend of mine having a clear purple Gameboy Color. It was kinda translucent so I thought it was neat how you could see the systems guts. It didn't go to the logo but it was still cool. I believe there were other colors but they were like limited edition or correspond to a specific game or something.
The feel of the system has a natural fit in the palms of my hands. It is pretty simple too. It has a keypad arrow set with up, down, left and right. Its buttons include an A, B, Select and Start. As for along the sides it has an outlet for accessories, an on/off switch, a volume wheel, and two jack holes: one of which is a headphones hole. Its simplicity and special features drives home what great of a handheld it is. I will go into the capabilities of the Gameboy Color soon as well has what I think of them.
