The Game Boy Micro
It sports a sleek vibe with portability and comfort, all in the palm of your hands. And the pocket of your tightest jeans. Switch between four faceplates to match your style and play any of the 700 titles in the Game Boy Advance library.
The Game Boy Advance SP is deep on the free-style gaming. With its back-lit flip screen, smooth lines, and color selection, this classic system gets you in on the portable fun revolution.
The Game Boy, invented by Gumpei Yokoi in 1989, is the most sold handheld machine ever, and has sold in over 55 million copies!
In 1996 Nintendo released a newer, smaller, and better Game Boy: the Game Boy Pocket. It is smaller, has a better LCD screen and comes in Blue, Red, Green, Yellow, Gold, Classic, Black, Hot Pink and Transparent, and one with a light for playing in the dark!
The megahit in Japan for the moment, Pocket Monsters, helped the GB to sell in 10 million copies last year (’97) outselling the Nintendo 64!! That shows that the GB is still a console to count on 9 years after it’s release! Now the Game Boy Color is released, with 32,000 colors to choose from and 56 colors at once on the screen.
The Game Boy Monitor
The monitor used by the Game Boy is a simple LCD type screen (Liquid Crystal Display) which can only show 4 different colors or grayscales. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage for the Game Boy. The good thing is that it doesn’t consume half as much batteries as other color handheld systems like the Atari LYNX or SEGA Game Gear. the other great things that have been further improved with the GB Pocket is it´s size. you can actually put it in your pocket!
Try putting a Game Gear in you pocket if you can! The two drawbacks of the LCD screen is that it looks a little bit dull in only 4 different shades of grey and it can also be tricky go get a good projection on the screen. You have to have a pretty strong light source nearby. This has been improved with the new GB Pocket, so that’s not really a problem anymore.
