Changes

The '''[[wikipedia:Game Boy|Game Boy]]''' and '''Game Boy Color ''' are 8-bit, fourth-generation handheld consoles released by Nintendo on July 31, 1989 and retailed for $89.95 ($182.24 in 19892018 money). It has a Sharp LR35902 core CPU at 4.19 MHz. It had a monochrome display that could show only two colors, black and white (though the white was more green). Nintendo re-released the console as the '''Game Boy Pocket''' in 1996, with a more compact body and a better screen. A front light was added to a special edition of the Pocket in Japan called the '''Game Boy Light''', a feature that wouldn't be seen outside of Japan until the Game Boy Advance SP.

Nintendo released a peripheral for the [[Super Nintendo emulators|Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] called [[wikipedia:Super Game Boy|Super Game Boy]] in June 1994, which was modelled like a cartridge but included its own cartridge slot for Game Boy games, as well as the hardware needed to translate the games. It Many Game Boy emulators offer at least some of the special features it included, such as added borders, colorization, custom button mappings, and other features. It was possible to link, but without the external port, as well as errors in the CPU, it would not be feasible to the end user; these issues would later be corrected in the Japan-exclusive Super Game Boy 2.

The Game Boy's successor, the [[wikipedia:Game Boy Color|Game Boy Color]] (GBC), was released in on November 18, 1998. Sharp LR35902 core CPU at 4.19 MHz and 8.38 MHz. It was named such from its color screen, but it also had a larger memory size and a double-clocked CPU. The hardware similarities allow cross-compatibility between the two platforms and they are often treated as one. They would both be succeeded by the backward-compatible [[Game Boy Advance emulators|Game Boy Advance]].
