Best Games Only Released On The Game Boy Color

The Game Boy Color is home to a lot of classic, old-school video games that many gamers will have grown up with. Part of the fifth generation of consoles, it was released in 1998 as an upgrade to the traditional Game Boy that added – as the name might imply – color. Nintendo announced the Game Boy Color would be backwards compatible, the first time a handheld console had ever done so. That meant all subsequent Game Boy iterations would be compatible with original Game Boy titles, allowing them to launch with a bigger library than before.
