Game Boy, the world's most popular portable video game system, offers endless entertainment for players of all skill levels. STN is a technology that was cheaper and more established than the higher quality TFT, although it did mean that the response rate was poor, causing ghosting on many games.
This minor redesign came in black, green, red, and transparent casing, with a white version being exclusive to Japan and Toys R Us in the UK. There was a European-only Blue version which is quite sought after now. The range followed after a number of limited edition variants such as a UK-only model coming in red with the Manchester United logo, and a Japanese-only Toyota branded model that was given as a free gift with car purchases. The next major revision came with the Game Boy Pocket in Smaller and lighter, this version took only two AAA batteries, but still managed to squeeze about 10 hours of gameplay from them.
The screen was now pure black and white compared to the green tinted display of the original model, and thanks to LCD technology improving it has a much better refresh rate, meaning less ghosting. Early models had no LED to indicate if the unit was powered on or not, but after complaints, one was added. Released in Japan in , this iteration is slightly bigger than the Pocket and as the name suggests it comes with a backlight.
This is considered one of the best ways to play Game Boy games in poor light situations. This was the first major upgrade to the playing experience as it added a colour LCD to the mix. The cartridge style was retained, meaning full backwards compatibility. There was also often forwards compatibility, as many Game Boy Color games could still work on the black and white Game Boy models.
You can tell which games are which from the colour of the cartridge, with games that only work on the Color coming in transparent casing because the 90s. These games generally made use of the faster processor in the machine, which ran at around double the speed of the original, but was able to underclock itself to play older games. It was however that saw the greatest leap in Game Boy technology, with the launch of the Game Boy Advance. Nestled within all of this was the good old sharp LR that had been in use since , but this time it was only there to keep backward compatibility with titles from the OG system.
The screen remained in colour but now it was a much higher quality TFT, and it was wider, featuring a resolution of x pixels. All of this and it still managed 15 hours on two AA batteries. This was the first Game Boy model that was released in landscape format, with this orientation seeming to suit the wider screen. Advance games came on smaller PCBs which were physically but not electrically compatible with the original design the main difference being a change from 5v to 3v power.

Survival Kids was originally released in and was only ever released on the Game Boy Color. This game is focused on surviving on a desert island and has an open-ended format that allows players to progress through the game at their own pace and play the game in their own style.
The game's structure and ending depend entirely on how the player chooses to take on the struggles that they're presented throughout the game. This game is a pretty rare one. Although this is a Metal Gear game, it's not part of the main canonical storyline of the franchise and is a spin-off that was designed exclusively for this handheld console. This game is set in an alternate future of the Metal Gear franchise and is set seven years after the events of the first game in the franchise.
Even though a lot of the games on this handheld console are platforming games, this horror franchise definitely made an appearance on the console. The game is unique because the exploration has a top-down view, but that changes when the character that the player is controlling is attacked. Then, the view changes to a first-person view as the player battles the enemy that they're facing.
The game follows Leon S. Kennedy and Barry Burton as they investigate a virus that broke out on a passenger ship. Some games are rare due to the popularity of the series to which they belong. Others, however, are rare due to how few copies of the game were sold when it first release. It's a fairly generic mountain bike racing game that does little to set itself apart from the crowd.
