Some games made for the original [[Game Boy]] display more colors if played on a Game Boy Color. Other games were made exclusively for the Game Boy Color. The older versions could not play these, but the [[Game Boy Advance]], the Game Boy Advance SP and the Game Boy Player could. It also had the shortest lifetime of a Nintendo handheld, as it was discontinued in 2003, and the last game was released later the same year. | Some games made for the original [[Game Boy]] display more colors if played on a Game Boy Color.

Like the original [[Game Boy]], the Game Boy Color has the same buttons. These are {{Button|gbc|A}} , {{Button|gbc|B}} , {{Button|gbc|start}} , {{Button|gbc|select}} buttons and the {{Button|gbc|Pad}}. There are no compatibility issues with games made for the original Game Boy being run on a Game Boy Color. All games, accessories that are programmed for a particular game (such as a Game Link Cable), and non-standard features (such as the camera protruding out of a [[Game Boy Camera]] cartridge) will work on a Game Boy Color. Playing games that didn't have any color can now be played in color using a color palette by using a combination of {{Button|gbc|Pad}} and {{Button|gbc|a}}, {{Button|gbc|b}}, or no additional button being pressed to select presets, similar to the [[Super Game Boy]] how someone can change the colors the typical monochrome display. | Like the original [[Game Boy]], the Game Boy Color has the same buttons.
