About the Nintendo Game Boy Color
The Game Boy Color launched in North America in November 1998 and plays both Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges. It runs on two AA batteries and has an infrared port. Its screen is not backlit; units modded with IPS or backlit screens are excluded from this guide.
What affects the price
- Screen condition: scratches, dead pixels and dark lines.
- Battery compartment corrosion (AA models) or battery life (rechargeable models).
- Hinges on clamshell models, and the charger included.
- Aftermarket screens and shells change the value, so modded units are left out of this guide.
