Game Boy Color is one of those devices you have been playing with for ages. A device is a handheld unit that comes in transparent case, although other colors are available. It was developed, sold and marketed by Nintendo. The official launch occurred in Japan in 1998. The same year the device became available in other parts of the world. A previous model from the same family was Game Boy. Gunpei Yokoi’s design philosophy – using proven, inexpensive components in new and interesting ways – continued through Nintendo's handheld line A game that is way underrated in my opinion, is Batman Forever, which is much better than Batman The Movie. Despite the Game Boy with the Altus Newing logo being an off-white shell, the Game Boy with the Altus Newing logo is actually the same as the white Play it Loud! Series Game Boy with the Altus Newing logo on it. Positive assessment on the legacy of the Game Boy Color has also focused upon the merits of its game library, particularly for its third-party and import titles. Travis Fahs for IGN noted whilst "the Game Boy Color's life was relatively brief", it "built up a small library of excellent games", including Wario Land 3 and Pokémon Gold and Silver, and a "unique" and "previously unheard of" line of successful third-party games, including Dragon Warrior Monsters, Metal Gear Solid and Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories. [13] Ashley Day of Retro Gamer noted that the handheld had an "overlooked" status, stating "the Game Boy Color (has) an unfair reputation as the one Nintendo handheld with few worthwhile titles, but this simply isn't the case...returning to the Game Boy Color now reveals a wealth of great games that you never knew existed, especially those available on import."

I must say I'm a bit sad, not seeing Gradius Interstallar Assault on the list as I feel it's an excellent game. It's a bit different than the usual Gradius games, in the way that it's a bit slower, more "tactical" experience, but it is in my opinion a very good game in its own way.
