This is exactly what it sounds like. It's the original GB Color, no back light, single speaker, fairly small fit for adult hands. The screen cover in my refurb is new glass and the case, battery cover and sticker are new, clean and official. The job done in installing these is nice. The games are great. I played hours of Harvest Moon and Super Mario Land when I first got it. I grew up with this so the nostalgia alone was worth the price of admission. Played hours of Wario Land 2 and 3 and Pokemon gen 1 and 2 as a kid. It's been years since I used any portable gaming system extensively my adult hands get sore. The refurb I got was not flawless there was some rust on the connection port.

I recently purchased a Game boy Colour from an eBay user and I love it. Some of the pros and cons about the Game boy colour are its general size and shape, also its battery source. The pros: The Game boy is small enough to fit in one’s pocket so it is very portable, another benefit for buying a Game boy colour is the Game boy line provides a wide variety of games to pick an choose from so there is something for anyone to play the system even plays the older Game boy games as well. Another pro for buying a Game boy colour is the fact that it has an advanced technology in comparison to its father version the game which was dot matrix or black and white, the Game boy colour has colour hence the name “Colour”. I really didn’t see any “real” cons but I guess one can say that using two double “A” batteries can be seen as a con because you have to change batteries once in while. The funny thing about that is the batteries actual last a good amount of time. I have almost all Nintendo hand held systems and in terms of battery life this system is up there. I use it all the time and I change batteries about once a month. I hope this review helped you on your purchase! -jayj404Read full review
My daughter has a DS and so I bought this for a cheap car travel system for my son. This is an awesome thing to buy for a long time of needing quiet. I use them for the bus ride to school to keep them busy and long car travels. I bought the game boy color because you can get lots of games cheap since they are used. The only thing my son doesn't like about this system is that there is no light for when it is dark. So to fix that I bought a small travel light. But I would rate this as a good purchase and worth the price. I haven't tried the linking cable but would like to purchase it at some point.
The Gameboy Color is a solid system. I like it because it's fun, easy, and has a ton of great, cheap titles. The down side is the visual. There is a certain magic to the awkward graphics and tiny characters, but unless play takes place in close proximity to a good light source it's nearly impossible to tell what's going on screen. Not a huge problem, and an easily fixed one, but a problem none the less.
I am very pleased with my decision to purchase the Nintendo Game Boy Color. First, the price was unbeatable. I only paid about four dollars for it, two games were included with it also. I love it for many reasons, my top three reasons would have to be, my son loves it, the Nintendo Game Boy keeps my son busy at times that I need for him to be occupied with something because I am (ex. house chores), and the size is very convenient, we can take it anywhere we go. Although there are so many positive traits about it, I do have one negative remark, I do not like how dim the screen is unless you are directly under a bright light. It needs a brighter picture, enabling you to see what you are playing, whether it be night or day. One bad mark out of all the positives, if I had to do it all over again, I would still definitely buy it. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the Nintendo Game Boy Color.Read full review
