If you're like me, you would expect the maximum gaming performance from a video-game console, yet the system cannot do it by itself. That is where extra hardware comes into play.
For example, the biggest problem you'll encounter when you pick up a Gameboy Color is the fact that it is not back-lit, like the former competitor, Sega Gamegear. When you play your Gameboy Color, you will need an external light source to avoid straining your eyes in badly-lit areas. Personally, I'm not sure why Gameboy Color was not released with a backlight, although a very small, special-edition supply of "Gameboy Lights" were released only in Japan a couple years ago. Unfortunately, these Gameboys were not even in colour. Nevertheless, you are stuck and that's where an external light can be hooked up to your Gameboy Color so you can play in the dark, naturally, sold separately.
The Gameboy light is almost a necessity for any Gameboy player, but there are tons of other little gadgets that you can hook up to your Gameboy if you want louder sound or a magnified screen as you play. Here is a list of different accessories that can be quite handy for the regular player. The price of Gameboy hardware varies between $10.00 - $50.00 CDN.
Light: Nyko Worm LightDescription:The worm light stands freely after you plug it into your Gameboy link-cable input. You can bend it and shape it to your desire so it doesn't get in the way of your eyes and the Gameboy screen. As simple as it sounds, it's a great tool and investement for any Gameboy Color/Gameboy Pocket owner, only $9.99 CDN.
Carrying Cases: Your choiceDescription:Carrying cases exist in all sorts of different sizes which appeal to different people. Basically, the bigger the carryng case, more compartements and inner-padding, the higher the price tag will be. The carrying case to choose strictly depends on how you like to carry it (i.e: around the waist or a handbag) and the ammount of accesories and games that you own or want to carry with you. If you go to a local toy or video-game store, you'll find quite a big selection of carrying cases, one of which will appeal to you.
