Editorial Reviews :
Pokémon trainers might want to catch this limited-edition Pokémon Game Boy Color. This unit comes in a color-changing gold and silver case emblazoned with pictures of Pikachu and Pichu in action. It's Pokémon outside, but pure Game Boy Color inside, so you can play any of the other 500-plus games available for the system. This limited-edition Pokémon Game Boy Color is available only while supplies last, so catch it while you still can.
The Game Boy is that small, colorful handheld video game system clutched by folks playing it everywhere. Popular among a wide age group, including a good number of airport-lounging power executives, the Game Boy has a true hard-core fan base comprising millions (and millions) of kids around the globe.
Nintendo's Game Boy debuted in the late '80s and has since sold more than 60 million units worldwide, far outpacing other handheld game systems. With a catalog of more than 1,000 games and dozens of add-on peripherals, Game Boy is a monster of a handheld game system, and a remarkably affordable one at that. Early March 1998 brought the release of the Game Boy Color system, an upgraded version of the original. It is equipped with an 8-bit CPU, doubling the original Game Boy's computing power. The small LCD screen can display up to 56 colors simultaneously (out of a 32,000-color palette), delivered via boosted video processing memory that provides remarkably sharp and vibrant graphics.
The hundreds of available games vary from tremendously compelling to instantly forgettable. Quality or not, the entire library of games designed for the original system is playable on Game Boy Color, but buyers should note that not all Game Boy Color games will work on the original Game Boy system.
The Game Boy Color system is available in an exotic array of colors andspecial editions. Accessories and add-on peripherals abound, enhancing theplaying experience with vibrating feedback to in-game bumps and crashes,extra battery power, and even a clever camera package that allows playersto capture, tweak, and print images.
Buyer Reviews :
This is not the first Gold/Silver Pokemon Gameboy Color console. Nintendo had one available through a contest that had Pikachu on the left of the screen and on the right, one on top of the other, were Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile. the words 'Pokémon Center' and a Poké Ball near the bottom of the console. Unfortunately, residents of New York, Florida and Quebec were not eligible to enter (laws). I was disappointed and called them, asking to release one for sale. I'm sure others called in asking the same thing. The console changes from gold to silver in the light thanks to a special paint, and Pikachu jumps with glee (the power light is its right cheek! Priceless!) and little Pichu is on the bottom right, looking as cute as Pikachu. I also have the original Pokémon Yellow Gameboy console, and am thrilled to have both of these. You will love the Gold and Silver Gameboy console. The box is even great! You will find yourself rotating the console in the light just to see it change from gold to silver while you play, or just while admiring it! If you're a Pokémon fan like me (and I'll be 33 near the end of this month!) you owe it to yourself to save your bucks to get this cool console. Now if only Nintendo would release a Pokémon console for Gameboy Advance ...
