The Original Game Boy
In 1989, Nintendo's designer Junpei Yokoi ushered in a new era in handheld gaming history. That year, Nintendo launched the Game Boy game console, which shook the world with 119 million sales. This handheld computer, equipped with a customized low-power CPU, a 2.45-inch display, and four-channel stereo sound, hosted excellent titles. It featured Nintendo's earliest masterpieces such as "Pokemon," "Super Mario Land," "Tetris," "Donkey Kong," and "The Legend of Zelda." With its interchangeable cartridge design, this handheld catered to players' needs, introducing advanced cassette technology to the handheld gaming world.
Game Boy Pocket
Nintendo's 8-bit handheld game console debuted on July 21, 1996, boasting eight colors including primary hues, red, yellow, green, black, gold, silver, pink, and transparent. Abbreviated as GBP, its performance parameters remained similar to the Game Boy prototype, with changes mainly in shape, battery model, and display screen. Its smaller and lighter body design enhanced user-friendliness, while the larger and clearer display screen improved gameplay experience. However, its use of a single AA battery Type 4 resulted in the shortest battery life in the series, posing challenges for players with multiple consoles.
Game Boy Color
On October 21, 1998, Nintendo of Japan unveiled the GB Color version, Game Boy Color (GBC), featuring a color LCD screen, marking a significant milestone for GB fans. Compared to previous models, the GBC was smaller and lighter, with a thin-film transistor TFT liquid crystal display capable of rendering 58 colors out of 32,000. Its CPU speed mode and increased memory and display capabilities allowed for stunning visual effects, rivaling other gaming consoles of the time. The GBC was compatible with GameBoy games and featured a colored screen with 4-19 color options. It also introduced an infrared communication function for data exchange between compatible games and offered up to 20 hours of gameplay with 2 AA alkaline batteries, making it highly power-efficient.
