The Game Boy Color (also referred to as GBC) was Nintendo's successor to the Game Boy. It featured a color screen, and was only slightly larger than the Game Boy Pocket. The processor was twice as fast as a Game Boy's, and had twice as much memory. It featured an infrared communications port for wireless linking which did not appear in later versions of the Game Boy, such as the Game Boy Advance.
The Game Boy Color came in a myriad of different colors, as did earlier incarnations of the Game Boy.
The Game Boy Color was a response to pressure from game developers for a new system, as they felt that the Game Boy, even in its latest incarnation, the Game Boy Pocket, was insufficient. The resultant product was backward compatible, a first for a handheld console system, and leveraged the large library of games and great installed base of the predecessor system.
