Gameboy Color

It may be "old school", but this hand-held game system plays like a champ. With hundreds of them up for auction, how do you choose which one to buy? I'm sure each person has certain things they are looking for when trying to decide which one to buy. For me, I wanted one in pristine condition at a good price. The thing I like about the Gameboy Color is that there are many colrs to choose from. There are endless games for it as well, and they are pretty easy to come by and inexpensive. Even a an adapter only runs about $10.00. My choice in the end was a dandelion yellow. It came with a box and instuctions and a game. There are a few things to look for when purchasing one. The condition of the system, in most cases, reflects in the price given. For example, there might be a red gameboy for $5.00, but the screen is scratched and it's missing the battery cover. Very important, always ask questions if you are not sure what the system has on it. Always ask the condition of the screen, the sound, and if the battery cover is intact if it isn't mentioned in the description. I know I could go out and get the latest DS Lite, but the system and games are expensive. This is the perfect system for someone with limited funds. You can get accessories for it at a great price. You could get a case, games, an adapter, a light, a camera or even a printer for this system. All in all, if you can find one that meets your criteria, then by all means, get a Gameboy Color. It's a great gift for a great price.Read full review
