The Berry was my first Gameboy Color console and I love it greatly! I have gotten my friends addicted to Gameboy Color (and Pokmon, heh) and HIGHLY recommend a Gameboy Color to any game fanatic. I'm so hooked, I have a  carrying case for my Berry and Teal Gameboy Color and have those plastic  cartridge cases for my games. Get this and you'll have access to a lot of  great games!
