I'd like to compile a complete list of all the colors of each game boy that was released from the original brick to the new SP. Let's see what we can do. I'll name all I can think of:

Original:
Grey

Original "Play It Loud" series:
Red
Yellow
Blue
Green
Black
Clear

Pocket:
Silver
??

Color:
Atomic Purple (Clear purple)
??

Advance:
Arctic (White)
Indigo (Purple)
Clear Purple
Fuscia (Pink clear)
Black (At TRU Only)

Advance SP:
Platinum (Silver)
Onyx (Black)
Flame (Red)
Cobalt (Blue)
Gold (Exclusive SMB3 only)

I am missing a lot on that list. Also feel free to mention Japanese or other country specific releases. As well as special "Pokémon and other game editions.

Or maybe there's already a list somewhere. Either way..

Thanks. There's just so many of them.

Pocket- Red

SP- Neon Green w/ Donkey Kong Country (Target Exclusive)

Just two that I can add to your list

Oh yeah, also Color- Lime Green

[JerseyDevil]

The Pocket also came in green.

The GBC also came in kiwi, berry and grape (solid purple)

[Susuwatari]

Pocket was also available in Ice Blue (Target exclusive I believe) and Gold (TRU exclusive) I have the Gold version. There's also Gameboy Light, a Japanese pocket with built in indiglo light. Not very good and the light do eventually fade to dim after so many years.

Advance is available in Red as well (Target Exclusive)

There's also Pokemon edition Orange GBC, Pokiemon orange SP, Pokemon blue SP,okemon red SP, and etc. etc.

Japan has Famicom edition SP (cream, red, and gold color) and Boktai edition SP (red and black) and many assorted colored Advance. Also Pearl Pink and Pearl Blue and finally White! (Is Nintendo trying to top Apple for the most fruity color line???)

[Susuwatari]

I did the only sensible thing: raped eBay for every images I could find. I found a lot including a few I forget and a few more I didn't know. I then put together a quick web page at http://personalpages...gb/FrameSet.htm

It has every single Gameboy, pocket, Color, Advance, and SP. I may be missing a few more. And I'm not including Super Gameboy, Super gameboy 2 (Japane only, plays Color games), and all colors of Gameboy Player including Panasonic Q version.

EDIT: I forgot about Spice, orange colored GBA from Japan.

Lesson learned: If somebody wants to borrow something, punch them in the eye.

I guess no one's checked my little web page I posted earlier. There are Tommy Hillfiger GBC picture along with many others.

Must... resist...

[Mr.FoodMonster]

SEXY!!!

Yes.

I want one, and I don't even LIKE the SP(way too small for my apparently gargantuan hulk hands).

[Mr.FoodMonster]

My hands arent even big, but its still to small for me. I'm going to buy either a 20 hour battery, a game switcher, or just a grip to make it bigger and more comfortable to hold.

I was being sarcastic.
One modern gamer too many has told me that if I can't comfortably hold the GBASP while worshipping the stupid thing because it has a near-useless light and proprietary battery pack, I'm seriousely messed up.

i have a blue GBP and a dead Brick

I saw that Game Boy Light and thought, "Hey! I had that idea YEARS ago!" I had said they should use "Indiglo" technology to backlight the things. By the looks of those pictures, they did. Nintendo's been reading my thoughts! Grrrrrr... They'd better not be reading them between 6 and 7.. that's Jasoco's time!

The japanese mock me. They know I'm a sucker with very odd tastes in entertainment.

By the same token, they know I can't justify paying a hundred buck sfor a GBColor.

The bastards.

[vb_master]

I have a clear gameboy pocket

LOL -- heh, while I would have to wholehartedly agree that the damn thing is very uncomfortable, I would have to say that the light is definelty not near-useless and having a propietary battery pack isn't that big of a deal. Sure, it will be annoying 10 years from now, but given Nintendo's track record with the GB, you'll be able to play all your GBA games on whatever the current GB console is.

BTW -- does anyone know where you can get that Famicom SP in the US? That just looks so cool and retro, kinda like a Game & Watch game

[Mr.FoodMonster]

The light is VERY useful. Grab a GBA and an SP and look at them at all angles. Even in direct sunlight the SP is a lot better. And, for the battery running out, they have replacements that you can buy, so if you are really parinoid, buy a few of them so you can keep it for a lifetime.
