The Gray Brick upgraded with Colors and all! Released nine years after [The Original Game Boy](/platforms/gb), Nintendo---and thus, we---finally saw things in color! For actually seeing "the light", we'd have to wait until a backlit-enabled version of [the GBA](/platforms/gba) was to be released in 2003. The GBC doubled the CPU and memory power of the GB, but sadly only lived for three short years, before the GBA replaced it.
