Nestled within all of this was the good old sharp LR that had been in use since , but this time it was only there to keep backward compatibility with titles from the OG system. The screen remained in colour but now it was a much higher quality TFT, and it was wider, featuring a resolution of x pixels.
All of this and it still managed 15 hours on two AA batteries. This was the first Game Boy model that was released in landscape format, with this orientation seeming to suit the wider screen. Advance games came on smaller PCBs which were physically but not electrically compatible with the original design the main difference being a change from 5v to 3v power.
A physical switch inside the slot would be depressed only with an old style cartridge to increase the voltage. This edition had a clamshell design in order to reduce the width, with buttons in the base and a screen in the top. Internally it was similar to the first model, but added a front light for the screen and a. Lithium Ion rechargeable battery. With the light off, you could squeeze 18 hours out of the device, as well as a respectable 10 with the light on.
A later revision in saw the screen changed to backlit instead of frontlight, making for a much easier to see display. This late model with the designation AGS is widely considered one of the best screens in all of the Game Boy range and so it still fetches a noticeably higher price in the second hand market.
This would be the last model to bear the Game Boy name; at this point the DS had been released and was starting its journey to become the biggest-selling handheld of all time. Not much larger than an iPod nano, this tiny device has a rechargeable battery and a similar albeit smaller at just 2 inches screen to the AGS The pixel size is the smallest of any Game Boy model, and combined with the high quality backlight, it makes for the sharpest image that one can obtain on any Game Boy model.
By the end of its lifespan, the Micro had sold under 2. That sounds quite respectable, but compared to the Fortunately the Game Boy name continued for another two years after the demise of the Micro as the SP continued to sell until it was finally discontinued in Nine years on, the Game Boy name might no longer be in use, but it still resonates as one of the most iconic brands of all time, and probably will long after any of us who were there at the start are still around.
Gary maintains his belief that the Amstrad CPC is the greatest system ever and patiently awaits the sequel to "Rockstar ate my Hamster". Clear electronics was totally the thing back in the day. I kind of miss them to be honest with you. It's why I sprung for the Kickstarter-exclusive clear blue RetroStone.
Which you can buy now anyway Got a clear mini at home, no cartridges though, gonna try and grab some of the old faves on Ebay and see if it still works.
Still want to pick up an advanced at some point, the advance SP would be the better choice due to the screen but iirc it had a propriatory battery where as the Advance took standard batterys and could still play every GameBoy game. The best combo is a modded GBA. You can put the screen from the later SP models or a chinese equivalent into it with very little effort.

There is an excellent bi-verted backlight mod available for it that really brings out the sharpness of the screen and in my personal opinion makes playing on the original handheld much more enjoyable. It requires 2 AA batteries and was only released in Japan. It is backwards-compatible with all GB games and plays them in color. No version of the GBC was released with a built-in light, but a front-light not a backlight mod can be added.
In my opinion, it ruins the experience. It was better than not having a light at all, but it was still extremely hard to see. All SP models came with a rechargeable battery built-in. The difference is so huge, that it feels like an entirely new console altogether, not just an upgrade.
