It was designed by the same team that developed the Game & Watch and several Nintendo Entertainment System games : Satoru Okada , Gunpei Yokoi , and Nintendo Research & Development 1 . Nintendo 's second handheld game console , the Game Boy combines features from both the NES home system and Game & Watch hardware . The console features a dull green dot-matrix screen with adjustable contrast dial , five control buttons ( a directional pad , two game buttons , and start and select ) , a single speaker with adjustable volume dial , and , like its rivals , uses cartridges as physical media for games . The color scheme is made from two tones of grey with accents of black , blue , and dark magenta . All the corners of the portrait-oriented rectangular unit are softly rounded , save for the bottom right , which is curved . At launch , it was sold either as a standalone unit , or bundled with one of several games , namely Super Mario Land or Tetris . Several accessories were also developed , including a carrying pouch and printer . Despite being technologically inferior to its fourth-generation competitors ( Sega 's Game Gear , Atari 's Lynx , and NEC 's TurboExpress ) , the Game Boy received praise for its battery life and durability in its construction . It quickly outsold the competition , selling one million units in the United States within a few weeks . The Game Boy and its successor , the Game Boy Color , have sold an estimated 118 million units worldwide .

It is the successor to the original Game Boy and is part of the Game Boy family . The GBC features a color screen rather than monochrome , but it is not backlit . It is slightly thicker and taller and features a slightly smaller screen than the Game Boy Pocket , its immediate predecessor in the Game Boy line . As with the original Game Boy , it has a custom 8-bit processor made by Sharp that is considered a hybrid between the Intel 8080 and the Zilog Z80 . The spelling of the system 's name , Game Boy Color , remains consistent throughout the world , with its American English spelling of color . The Game Boy Color is part of the fifth generation of video game consoles . The GBC 's primary competitors in Japan were the grayscale 16-bit handhelds , Neo Geo Pocket and the WonderSwan , though the Game Boy Color outsold them by a wide margin . SNK and Bandai countered with the Neo Geo Pocket Color and the Wonderswan Color , respectively , but this did little to change Nintendo 's sales dominance . With Sega discontinuing the Game Gear in 1997 , the Game Boy Color 's only competitor in the United States was its predecessor , the Game Boy , until the short-lived Neo Geo Pocket Color was released in August 1999 .

Action-adventure is a video game genre that combines core elements from both the action game and adventure game genres . With the decline of the adventure game genre from mainstream popularity in the early 2000s , the use of the term ( and the hybrid term action-adventure ) has been more liberal . It is not uncommon for gamers to apply the term adventure or action to describe the genre of fiction to which a game belongs , and not the gameplay itself . Action-adventure is a hybrid genre , and thus the definition is very inclusive , leading it to be perhaps the broadest genre of video games , and can include many games which might better be categorized under narrow genres . Typically , pure adventure games have situational problems for the player to solve , with very little or no action . If there is action , it is generally confined to isolated minigames . Pure action games have gameplay based on real-time interactions that challenge the reflexes . Therefore , action-adventure games engage both reflexes and problem-solving , in both violent and non-violent situations .
Bomberman Max ( ボンバーマンＭＡＸ , Bonbāman Makkusu ) is a video game released for the Game Boy Color on May 14 , 2000 .

The original N-Gage was described as resembling a taco , which led to its mocking nickname Taco phone . Nokia introduced the N-Gage QD in 2004 as a redesign of the original Classic N-Gage , fixing widely criticized issues and design problems . However , the new model was unable to make an impact , and with only 2 million units sold in its two years , the N-Gage and its QD model were a commercial failure , unable to challenge their Nintendo rival . The N-Gage was discontinued in November 2005 , with Nokia moving its gaming capabilities onto selected Series 60 smartphones . This was announced as the N-Gage platform or N-Gage 2.0 in 2007 , carrying on the N-Gage name .

Compatible devices can network through a wireless access point to each other as well as to wired devices and the Internet . The different versions of Wi-Fi are specified by various IEEE 802.11 protocol standards , with the different radio technologies determining radio bands , and the maximum ranges , and speeds that may be achieved .
