Gameboy Color Roms is a line of handheld video game consoles by Nintendo, which was released in the year 1998 as a minor upgrade of Gameboy. It was discontinued in 2003. A small number of games have been built specifically for the Gameboy color platform and is typically poorly emulated with no graphics enhancement. Some sites may display this small number of games as "over 9000", but most sites list them under "2000" (the year the Gameboy color was released). The original Gameboy has over 1400 game titles, which makes it easy to notice when a site is falsely inflating their numbers.
