Nintendo Game Boy Color Handheld System - Grape CGB-001 TESTED

About this deal

The Nintendo Game Boy Color, released in 1998, is one of Nintendo's most iconic handhelds. Compared with the original Game Boy, it features a colour TFT screen instead of monochrome, a CPU running at up to twice the speed, and four times as much memory. It also includes an infrared port for wireless linking. Grape is one of the five original launch colours, with the word "COLOR" in the logo representing each of them. The system plays both original Game Boy games and Game Boy Color titles, making it one of the most versatile in the entire Game Boy family. The LCD screen can display up to 56 colours simultaneously from a palette of around 32,000, and the screen is colour rather than monochrome, though it is not backlit. This unit has been tested and confirmed working, making it a solid pick for retro gaming fans or collectors after an original, unmodified example in a classic colourway.
