Got a scanner or digital camera? Prove it.

I'd stake my life on it that Nintendo did not release such console as the "Game Boy Colour"

They released a "Game Boy Color" in the UK, but not one featuring the UK spelling.

You should keep it in mint condition and never use it then! Especially seeing as my UK release version of a cyan Game Boy Color has "COLOR" on the box, and on all the GBC games!

Is that why mine says "GameBoy Colour" on the front in big letters?

I'm inclined to think you copied this.

I don't remember you mentioning your American and yet you spell 'color' instead of 'colour'.
