The 2” screen of the GameBoy, although not backlit, was a 8-bit monochrome (4 shades of gray) reflective LCD display that was 160x144 dots.
It was not so much of a battery muncher, as was the Game Gear and Atari Lynx of the same period, it could run about an average of 35 hours on four AA batteries.
The GameBoy Printer required a link cable to go from the GameBoy unit, but with it, you were allowed to print images on sticker paper directly from the gameboy camera.
The GameBoy Color (also referred to as GBC) is Nintendo's successor to the GameBoy and was released on October 21, 1998 in Japan and in November 1998 in the United States.
The GameBoy Color was a response to pressure from game developers for a new system, as they felt that the GameBoy, even in its latest incarnation, the GameBoy Pocket, was insufficient.
When inserting an originalGameBoy cartridge into the GameBoy Color, the user could choose which colour set to use for the game, by holding either the A or B button and a direction on the directional pad, whilst the GameBoy logo was displayed.
