Nintendo Game Boy Color Dandelion Handheld System

It may be "old school", but this hand-held game system plays like a champ. With hundreds of them up for auction, how do you choose which one to buy? I'm sure each person has certain things they are looking for when trying to decide which one to buy. For me, I wanted one in pristine condition at a good price. The thing I like about the Gameboy Color is that there are many colrs to choose from. There are endless games for it as well, and they are pretty easy to come by and inexpensive. Even a an adapter only runs about $10.00. My choice in the end was a dandelion yellow. It came with a box and instuctions and a game. There are a few things to look for when purchasing one. The condition of the system, in most cases, reflects in the price given. For example, there might be a red gameboy for $5.00, but the screen is scratched and it's missing the battery cover. Very important, always ask questions if you are not sure what the system has on it. Always ask the condition of the screen, the sound, and if the battery cover is intact if it isn't mentioned in the description. I know I could go out and get the latest DS Lite, but the system and games are expensive. This is the perfect system for someone with limited funds. You can get accessories for it at a great price. You could get a case, games, an adapter, a light, a camera or even a printer for this system. All in all, if you can find one that meets your criteria, then by all means, get a Gameboy Color. It's a great gift for a great price.

Ever see the one Gameboy Color commercial way back in the day, where those punk kids in the mall were all sporting their own colored Gameboy Color, and then they run into an old lady and she pulls out hers? If not, it doesn't really matter, all I wanted to say is that I'm proud to feel like one of those kids in the commercial lol. This was such a great buy. The memories it brings back are awesome. The days when I used to have to watch the dimness of the red light to see how much juice was left in it, when I had to sit next to a light but avoid glare to be able to see the screen. Ahh, the good old days. I'd recommend buying this all the way. Nintendo for the win!

I absolutely love the Gameboy color. When I saw one for sale on eBay, I just had to buy it. They are great entertainment in a more classic way than today's Nintendos, Playstations, and Xboxes. You can take them anywhere, and play some classic games like Zelda: Link's Awakening, Wario Land, and Super Mario Brothers. Some of these are games you can't even play on the more modern gaming systems. Therefore, I give the Gameboy Color an A+++++!!

"The Gameboy color is something I MUST HAVE!!"
Thats what my kids said when they saw a commercial about its bright and colorful screen.My sons still have theirs but I play with it sometimes.The color was worth the 9 year wait.Anyways,The color also some new things to table.One of them is a LARGER Libray of games such as black and clear cartridges.The most obvious is the color but you change the color before starting the screen.It also has backwards compatible with the older grey games!But It takes up two double A's or you could charge it if you lucky to find one.Now I said 3/5 for Money value is because the money depends.It lacks the backlight but it's still worth the money!(and wait if you ordered it off onlinr)

A great portable gaming system for its time. With hunderds of games to choose from, how can you go wrong? It takes two AA batteries (unlike most other portable gaming systems, which take those awful rechargeable batteries) or if you choose not to use AA batteries, you can plug it into a wall socket (with the correct plug). It is a great system with great potential, but, like most handhelds, the game selection isn't that great. There are maybe 20 amazingly great games, but there's a ton of garbage. Overall, a good buy!
