The Game Boy Color

What's your favorite Game Boy Color game? TELL ME RIGHT NOW!!!

That translucent purple GBC is still one of the best looking consoles after all these years.

Man gotta tell ya something: your videos are my go to sleep videos. Not because you are boring or because your content is boring. The nostalgia makes me feel like a toddler watching a good old TV show. I love it but I fell sleep because it's so comfy.

Playing Links Awakening DX on the Game Boy Color was like playing an all new Zelda game when it came out. The coloring was just gorgeous.

Those extra RAMs allow for some very nice character animation. The GBC CPU is also almost twice as fast as regular Gameboy (4.19Mhz vs 8Mhz)

Your videos are wonderful and I love the cool pixel transitions and angled gameplay bit where the gameboy game changed into colour. I hope more people binge on gamesack, it's a good sunday.

The part where you're speaking seriously about the Zelda game and then in the background gameplay everyone happily agrees to name the baby Turd was a nice touch

I think I read they added the extra stuff only for GBA for Wendy and Shantae because the games were so late in the life of the GBC that they had to give an incentive for GBA owners to buy them as well and get decent sales numbers

Awesome video! 1:21 small correction: the Game Boy Color did not end up selling close to 120 million units. That number (around 118.7 million) is the combined worldwide sales of Game Boy + Game Boy Color devices.

Nintendo wanted to be sure that if they eventually released a handheld system with color, that it has the same battery life as the original Game Boy. Funny how Sega, Atari, & NEC didn't realize how important the issue of battery life is. Great ep nevertheless.

Gotta correct you Joe, the Gameboy Color did NOT sell close to 120 million units. If you look carefully that number includes all the Gameboys that can play original games of which the GB Color is the 4th and last version.

I only just realized now that Elevator Action was released as Dexter's Laboratory in the US. Seeing the original version here really triggered some memories!

Small correction, the CPU runs at twice the speed when running GBC games. I'm impressed with the run animation and general visuals of bionic commando. Some big sprites there.

Thanks Joe for all your hard work.

Just wanted to point out that for Conker's Pocket Tales, it's compatible with both GB and GBC; but the two versions are completely different! The basic framework of the game is the same but the puzzles, levels, and even how you save the game is different- so much so that if you swap the game between a GBC and a GB, the save files don't even carry over!

Something you forgot to mention in the hardware overview: There's an additional double CPU speed mode that color games can take advantage of.

That Gameboy Color Elevator Action game would be reskinned into a game called "Dexters Lab - Robot Rampage"

One of my favorite episodes of Game Sack for sure! Thank you so much for making this! :)

Amazing after all this time the episodes have been going then you realise the systems that haven’t had the Game Sack treatment yet and immediately makes it must watch 😁
