Carl Mueller, Jr., the original developer of the “Intellivision for Game Boy Color” system, the very first Intellivision emulator for a portable game system, has listed on eBay, the actual development system which was used to create the emulator device. This rare piece of video game history was in development between 2000 and 2001, and now you can own the original equipment that was used to create the device.

While this development system is very significant on a historical level (with it being the very first in the entire world), but the Intellivision for Game Boy Color device itself will give you the opportunity to play over 60 Intellivision titles directly on your Nintendo Game Boy Color. Not only that, but the device is also 100% compatible with other Game Boy hardware, including the Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Micro, and for those that are interested in playing the games on the big screen, it will also work with both Super Game Boy for the SNES and the Game Boy Adapter for the GameCube.

When you place your bid for this one of a kind item, the following is a list of all of the items that you are trying to win. (Note that all of the items being offered were used to develop and test the Intellivision for Game Boy Color):

Carl is also willing to sign, date, or write anything that you like, to ensure official authenticity, which will so that this device is in fact the only system ever used for development of the emulator. He is also going to include with the auction, a copy of the required software that is needed to compile your own Intellivision ROM images, so that they can be flashed to the included development cartridge. The software contains the full commented source code to the Intellivision for Game Boy Color emulator.
