Game Boy Color: La consola que pintó de nostalgia una generación

Game Boy Color: The console that inspired nostalgia for a generation

🌈 An explosion of color in our hands

If you owned a Game Boy Color, you probably remember that magical moment of turning it on and seeing the worlds of Pokémon or Zelda come to life on a color screen. It was more than just a handheld console: it was a companion for travel, recess, and nights under the covers with a flashlight.


🕹️ How was the Game Boy Color born?

It was 1998 and Nintendo surprised the world with an evolution of its successful Game Boy. The Game Boy Color (GBC) was the answer to years of waiting for a handheld console with a color screen, but without losing the essence that had made it legendary.

Among its notable features:

  • 8-bit color display (up to 56 simultaneous colors!)

  • Compatible with the entire original Game Boy game library

  • Compact, lightweight design with many case colors available!


🎮 Games that defined an era

The Game Boy Color gave us true gems that are now living history:

  • Pokémon Crystal : The Pinnacle of the Second Generation, Exclusive to GBC

  • Zelda: Oracle of Ages / Seasons : adventures with unique mechanics

  • Wario Land 3 and Mario Tennis : Pure fun and smart challenges

These titles not only entertained us, they also defined the standard for what a handheld console could offer.


📈 Why is it still relevant in 2025?

In the age of emulators and mobile phones, the Game Boy Color still has immense value :

  • It is a highly prized collector's item by retro gamers.

  • The physical experience of playing on a GBC cannot be imitated.

  • There are limited models that today cost hundreds of euros.

At MartZ Gaming, we help you find refurbished models , with a warranty and a love of retro.


🔍 What should you keep in mind when buying one today?

  • That it works correctly (buttons, sound, screen without lines)

  • Make sure the game battery is in good condition (to save games)

  • If it has been modified (backlit screen, new housing, etc.)

Every Game Boy Color we offer has been thoroughly inspected and cared for . We want it to last for years and continue to make you smile.


💖 Is it worth it?
