The Game-Boy Color
The Game Boy Color was Nintendos 1998's handheld masterpiece, being the fourth generation of the Gameboy console series and the last to have a sole, 8-bit processor.
​
Like its American name, the Game Boy Color wasn't just colourful in the sense of its display capabilities but with its many case options including transparent.
​
It features a case similar to that of the Game Boy pocket, being heavily compatible with the majority of original Game Boy games, even being able to generate them a limited colour picture.
