GB - GBC - GBA

 

It's not.  There is no debate about this.  Please read my posts above.   The GBC is simply a new model of the original Gameboy line.  Not a new product of the Gameboy brand, a la Gameboy Advance.

 

 The processor, which is a Z80 workalike made by Sharp with a few extra (bit manipulation) instructions, has a clock speed of approx. 8 MHz, twice as fast as that of the original Game Boy. The Game Boy Color also has four times as much memory as the original (32 kilobytes system RAM, 16 kilobytes video RAM). Additionally, the Game Boy Color could address more ROM, allowing games as much as eight times the maximum size of those for the original Game Boy. The screen resolution was the same as the original Game Boy, which is 160x144 pixels.
