The most significant feature of the Game Boy Color is that it allows gameplay in full color. A maximum of fifty-six colors can simultaneously appear on the screen, unlike the Game Boy, which only had a palette of four colors. In addition, it supports more powerful hardware than the Game Boy Pocket, with a processor that is twice the speed and quadruple the memory. A large number of games were released to exploit the capabilities of this new console, which was also backwards compatible with every previous Game Boy game with only a handful of exceptions, making it the first Nintendo handheld to have backwards-compatibility. There is also a variety of 12 selectable color palettes to choose from when an original Game Boy is played on a Game Boy Color.
