The Game Boy Color is a handheld created and manufactured by Nintendo. It was released in 1998 as the successor to the Game Boy. The main difference with the Game Boy Color is that has a full color display, albeit still using 8-bit graphics. Its successor is the Game Boy Advance, which is backward compatible with both Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges.
Games[edit]
Five Dragon Quest games were released for the Game Boy Color. Four of them have been released on a black cartridge, allowing for backward compatibility with original Game Boy units. Dragon Warrior III is the only Dragon Quest title that was released on a clear cartridge, so it is only compatible with Game Boy Color units. If any of the Game Boy-compatible titles are played on the Super Game Boy peripheral for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, a specialized border is displayed around the game screen.
