Nintendo Game Boy Color Grape Handheld Console - TESTED, AUTHENTIC

About this deal

The Nintendo Game Boy Color is an 8-bit handheld console released in Japan in October 1998 , and the Grape colourway is one of the five original launch colours. The word "COLOR" on the console's logo is spelled out in those five original colours, with Grape representing the letter "O". Compared with the original Game Boy, the Game Boy Color features a colour TFT screen, a CPU running at up to twice the speed, and four times as much memory. The colour screen is not backlit , so good ambient lighting is recommended for play. It is backward compatible with games developed for its predecessor , meaning the vast back catalogue of original Game Boy titles can be enjoyed alongside dedicated Game Boy Color releases. A built-in infrared communications port allows gamers to exchange data between systems cable-free in compatible titles. The console also features a headphone jack and runs on two AA batteries. This pre-owned, tested, and authentic example is a great entry point for retro collectors and fans of classic Nintendo handheld gaming.
