Personally it is hard to deicide but here is a breakdown type thing,

Game Boy
pros-Louder sound,Adjusting the Contrast,Bigger screen than GBC.
cons-more batteries,heavy.chunky/big

Game Boy Color
Pros-In Color!Not as heavy as GB.On/Off button relocated,Less batteries,Easeir to take cartidge out :D
Cons-Bad sound quality,No contrast adjuster..

Yeah..you can add more to what I said but I like the Game Boy better,even though my Gameshark only works for GBC ^^;;

The Game Boy and Game Boy Color's screens are the same size. The Game Boy just has a larger border around the screen.

In coolness factor, the original GB is by far my favorite. But I actually prefer the GBA SP for playing – with the backlight and rechargeable battery, it can do everything the old Game Boys can (except use an infrared port), and with more features. It can even play original Game Boy games in black and white if you so choose.

The GBC is just… better than the GB. It's that simple.

The original was too big and the screen sucked, Game Boy Pocket was cool, but the Color was just better.
