Game Boy Color
AtariAge Review:
This isn't the best selling handheld system in the world for no reason.
While we would rather see the Lynx receive the success it deserves,
we have to admit the Game Boy has an immense library with quite a
few classics. And at $69.99 for a color handheld, this is a great
deal. Just take a look below at some of the classic titles available,
all under $30 each. If you don't like green, you can choose from a
number of different colors.

Arcade Hits : Joust & Defender
Amazon.com
Featuring two video game heavies of the early 1980s, Arcade Hits:
Joust/Defender is sure to appeal to nostalgic video game veterans
as well as those that have no idea what a "Gorf" is. Because
arcade games of that era had limited graphics and sound capabilities,
both titles translate very well to the Game Boy Color system, and
the gameplay is just as addictive now as it was then.

Frogger
Gamespot Review
It's one of those games that you get a little bit further into each
time, and each session teaches small strategies and tips that make
getting your name on the high-score table easier. The sheer addictiveness
of the game makes it very easy to fall into the "just one more
game" trap, while the simple design lets anyone play for five
minutes while waiting for the bus. Those two elements are the hallmarks
of a classic Game Boy game and make Frogger, despite some drawbacks,
a recommended purchase. --Cameron Davis

Frogger 2
Product Description
For those of you too young to remember Frogger, it was a simple, fun
game about a young frog's quest to get to the other side of the road,
with each crossing leading to roads with more lanes and faster traffic.
In Frogger 2, you'll be able to help Frogger or gal-pal Lily journey
through the underground to fight the Gator King and rescue their little
tadpoles. The multiple scrolling levels of play and puzzles to solve
will make Frogger's previous jaywalking (er... jayhopping) escapade
seem like a walk in the park.

Pac-Man Special Color Edition
Amazon.com
Pac-Man is one of the few video game characters that truly needs no
introduction. The little yellow gobbler dominated the arcades in the
80s, and now Namco has unleashed him to a new generation of players
with the introduction of Pac-Man Special Color Edition. You don't
need a Game Boy Color to play this one, but it sure loses a lot of
its appeal when played in black and white.

Pong
Product Description
Sure, Pong may not seem like a lot today--two paddles batting a ball
back and forth within a box--but it's actually more than 40 years
of video game history in the palm of your hands. Willy Higinbotham
created an abstract tennis game with an old oscilloscope and some
vacuum tubes way back in 1958. Now, decades later, the concept that
once required a university mainframe computer and probably enough
electricity to smelt aluminum is now small enough to fit in your handheld.
What's more, Pong has been updated for the Game Boy Color with Pong:
The Next Level. Not only can you select different balls and paddles,
but you can play Pong variants jungle, soccer, and Arctic. If you're
aching to play a friend, you can connect to another copy of the game
through the separately sold game-link cable.
