Photography has sure come a long way since 1998, but the Game Boy Camera remains a unique piece of tech that’s still worth revisiting twenty-four years later. My silver Special Pikachu Edition GBC was gifted to me for my 10th birthday; any Pokemon fan knows how symbolic this age is. Along with Pokemon Gold, I also received Tweety's High-Flying Adventure (not a bad platformer overall) and Scooby-Doo! Classic Creep Capers (A loose retelling of the classic Jekyll/Hyde episode from the original series). Those three were there in the beginning, though I obtained other games over time - including most of the other Gen 1 and 2 Pokemon games. Others were borrowed. Some I did miss out on and didn't get to play until the merciful 3DS VC a decade ago. Naturally, then, I carried my Game Boy Color everywhere and sunk absurd amounts of hours into Pokémon. I was in love with the franchise at this point, and I remember my friends and I would link up during our lunch breaks at school and trade Pokémon. To this day, it’s still the only Pokémon game that I’ve managed to 100% complete, and it’s honestly not even close.The logo for Game Boy Color spells out the word "COLOR" in the five original colors in which the unit was manufactured: Berry (C), Grape (O), Kiwi (L), Dandelion (O), and Teal (R). The neon-green Game Boy Color is one of those things that sounds ... interesting ... on paper, but fails to win anyone over in practice. This was the most obnoxious color you could get your GBC in. If you had that kiwi handheld, you either had parents who got really, really close to nailing your birthday present and missed by mere inches, or you just had to be the most extra person at school. Kiwis should be eaten, not played with. Famicom controller II - Like the famicom version but with a II logo and volume slider (Club Nintendo Japan) The Game Boy and Game Boy Color were both commercially successful, selling a combined 32.47 million units in Japan, 44.06 million in the Americas, and 42.16 million in other regions. [9] [10] At the time of its discontinuation in 2003, the combined sales of the Game Boy were the best-selling game console of all time. Surpassed in sales by the Nintendo DS, PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Switch the trio are now the fourth-best-selling console, the third-best-selling console and the second-best-selling handheld of all time. Sales of the console were in part driven by the success of Pokémon Gold and Silver and Pokémon Crystal, with combined sales of 29.5 million units, making them one of the best selling-video games of all time. But the best thing about the Game Boy Color? How colorful it was. Yes, it supported more than 32,000 color combinations (!), worlds away from its older brother, the Game Boy. But we’re talking about what matters much more, and that’s all those dope colors the hardware itself came in.

Listen, chaps. We can solve this with science. After Googling a few key questions, like "where does purple begin" and "what is the difference between blue and purple", I learned a lot about mattress companies and shampoo to tone down brassy colours in blonde hair, but not an awful lot about whether something is, or is not, purple.

The camera is also compatible with the Game Boy Advance and Advance SP, albeit with some caveats. Both display the camera in its original 10:9 aspect ratio, which appears shrunken down on the Game Boy Advance’s 3:2 display. This can be misleading as yellow and cyan have the same underlying mechanism, while only yellow is everywhere spectral (Hecht 133) Disassembling the GBC Boot ROM".
