The Game Boy Color is the best portable gaming system around. It's made all my  plane trips go by a lot faster, and for me, that makes it worth the reasonable price. There are hundreds of games out for the Game Boy Color, and many more to come. There are games in all genres, including Adventure, Arcade, Fighting, Racing, Sports, and RPG-- start your GBC Collection with Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and Tetris DX, the two classics. It's small enough to put in your jacket pocket, and the game cartridges are tiny. The only problem is that you can't play it in the dark because it isn't backlit, so you have to buy an extra light to attach onto it. But cons aside, the Game Boy Color is a great investment for hours of entertainment-- at least until summer 2001, when the Game Boy Advance comes out (which will also play Game Boy Color and Game Boy Games). But until then, I recommend the Game Boy Color to Kids and Adults alike!
