Game Boy Camera (Pocket Camera in Japan) is a Nintendo accessory for the handheld Game Boy gaming console and was released in 1998. The camera could take basic black & white, often grainy, digital images using the 4-color palette of the Game Boy system. It interfaced with the Game Boy Printer, which utilized thermal paper to print any saved images, making a hardcopy. Both items were marketed by Nintendo as light-hearted entertainment devices (aimed mainly at children), in all three major video game regions of the world: Japan, USA, and Europe. The Game Boy Camera comes in 4 different colors, (yellow, red, blue and green) as well as a limited edition The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time gold version, which contains different stamps from the standard camera.
