Title: Nintendo Gameboy Question(s)
Post by: LYNXGUY on December 05, 2019, 23:37:40 PM

My best friend has about 15 games for the Original GameBoy and he is wondering if those game carts will play on a Gameboy color ???

He also wants to know what if any differences there are in the dimensions of each like length width and so on. . . . . . .

Thanks in advance

I believe they do. You can play them on the GBA and the DS, so I don't see why they wouldn't work on the GB Color. In fact, they are colorized when you play them in a system with color.

Are you asking about dimensions of the handhelds?

Yes I am asking for the dimensions of the handhelds because my best friend had a Gameboy case with a space for he Gameboy itself so he wants to be sure it will fit. . . . . . .

I ran a search and it seems they are not exactly the same size. Check out this site: Gameboys Technical Data (https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Support/Game-Boy-Pocket-Color/Product-information/Technical-data/Technical-data-619585.html)
