Nintendo Game Boy Color

The Game Boy Color (GBC) is a 8-bit, fourth-generation handheld console released by Nintendo on November 18, 1998. The Game Boy Color uses the same LR35902 core as the original Game Boy; while it is clocked at 8.38 MHz, it can be underclocked to 4.19 MHz for backwards-compatibility purposes. It was named such from its color screen, but it also had a larger memory size and a faster CPU. The hardware similarities allow cross-compatibility between the two platforms and they are often treated as one.
