Keep Batteries on Hand!!!!!
Date of Review: Aug 23, 2000
If you're not careful, you may loose your child to this toy!!! Gameboy color is a hand held video game system by the maker of Nintendo.
The machine is pocket size and easy to hold/handle. It has ok graphics and decent colors for its size. The screen is small and is sometimes hard to see in certain lighting. It does have easy to work controllers. There is a volume control button. It also has a headphone jack for when you do not want to hear it but it is being played. There is a link cable available(sold separately) that when two or more machines are connected, the players can play against each other.
There is a wide variety of games available and you can find them on sale for between $20 to $30 each. The old favorites are here like Mario Brothers and Donkey Kong. They have Tetris and Pokemon games too.
This machine will take up your child's time. They will become addicted if they get the games they want. This game is great for long car trips or for when he/she wants to play video games but you want to watch television.
Overall, this is a good product but like all video games, parents need to monitor how much time it is played. Also, buy stock in a battery company that makes AA batteries.
