Game Boy Color

The Game Boy Color (JP) (abbreviated as GBC) is a handheld video game console developed by Nintendo. Originally released in late 1998, it is the successor to the original Game Boy, and is slightly larger than the Game Boy Pocket and significantly smaller than the original Game Boy. This was set out to replace the original Game Boy Pocket, and nullified Sega's taunts at the "Puke Green Screen" that the original Game Boy (DMG-001) and Game Boy Pocket featured. This helped set the Game Boy far above competition. The contrast dial was also removed, as the Game Boy Color now has a color screen.

The system was discontinued on September 25, 2003, following the release of its successor, the Game Boy Advance, in early 2001, which has backwards compatibility with both Game Boy and Game Boy Color games.
