The Game Boy Color is an evolution of Nintendo's Game Boy handheld. By the mid-90s, developers were wholeheartedly requesting a more capable platform to develop games for. Although it had a more technologically-advanced system in development, the Game Boy Color was ultimately Nintendo's response. The most obvious improvement to the system has been the added color capabilities and graphics comparable to those on the NES home console. The introduction of the Pokemon series on the system launched a phenomenon that will be reminisced about for decades to come. Furthermore an affordable price and a back-library of compatible Game Boy games have made the portable accessible to any child, teenager or adult. The unit dominated the handheld industry staving off competitors such as the Sega Game Gear and Neo Geo Pocket and at one time held 95 percent of the market.

The Game Boy Color handheld and accessories contain model numbers beginning with the letters CGB and ending with a consecutive number system. CGB originates from the words "Color Game Boy". Here you will find detailed information regarding all aspects of the Game Boy Color and its accessories.
