Game Boy Color

This is probably credited as one of the biggest gaming innovations of the ‘90s. We all know how successful the original Game Boy was when it was originally released. Back then, you’d think that the Game Boy was the pinnacle of handheld gaming. However, in 1998, Nintendo dropped its successor, the Game Boy Color. It was every bit as good as the original, but it was more compact.

Moreover, it had a colored screen! You can just imagine how much kids raved about playing Pokemon in color. It’s safe to say the Game Boy Color and the original Game Boy were Nintendo’s best-selling consoles of all time. Both had a combined sales of over 118 million units. To this day, retro enthusiasts still buy these handheld consoles.
