So now I'm going to finish my Gamboy Color Overview. One thing I really like about the Gameboy Color is the backward capability. It can play the normal Gameboy cartridges (like the gray rectangular ones) in a Gameboy Color. I really like this feature because its like having two systems in one and now I don't need to buy a Original Gameboy (Win, Win).
When I play a regular Gameboy game, after it says Gameboy and it makes that little Da Ding sound I can change the color palette. You have to do it right after it dings otherwise it will just launch the game normally. Anyway you can use a combination of the arrow keys and the A, B or no button to change the color. There is a possibility of 12 different colors plus just the normal palette (so a total of 13). See the attached picture for the extra color palettes. I really like playing games at different colors. I have probably beaten Super Mario Land 50 times just to see the ending in different colors.
So many final review...a 9.6/10. Why 0.4 points short? The Gameboy Advance can do all the Gameboy Color can and more. But don't get me wrong, the Gameboy Color is still a really good system and it has a feel unmatched by the Advance.
Collectors and casual gamers should have a Gameboy Color. It is any easy pick up on eBay or even at a garage sale. It is a great system and its no wonder why it has sold 118.7 million units worldwide.
