    Although our model is the Game Boy Color when it was purchased second hand the screen had become black and white only. There doesn't seem to be any back-lighting so we have an attachment with a light to shine down on the screen. This is a fun device and fits nicely for two handed use. We enjoy a Mario game and Tetris. Not so fond on Harry Potter and Junglebook spin-offs. Read more

    Overall is a very good product. The battery like is excellent and the game section is good. I love TETRIS and can play it for hours on end. Love to take it on flights, make the time pass very quick. The size is ideal for putting in pocket and just being on the go. Read more
