In 1996, Nintendo released the Game Boy Pocket: a smaller, lighter unit that requires fewer batteries. The Pocket has a smaller link port, which requires an adapter to link with the older Game Boy. The screen was changed to a true black-and-white display, rather than the “pea soup” display of the original. The Game Boy Pocket has a larger 65 mm (2.56 in) screen than the Game Boy Color that later superseded itThe Game Boy Pocket was not a new software platform and played the same software as the original Game Boy model. | - Processor: Z80 Sharp processor
