Game Boy Player

The  Game Boy Player is an add-on for the GameCube that allows both Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games to be played on TV.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It includes a timer which is nice if you have some dinner cooking.
 * 2) It also includes more borders, which is a nice touch.
 * 3) It still plays original Game Boy games in color.
 * 4) There is even a setting that can turn your game off and let you change games without powering everything off.
 * 5) It is even compatible with the Game Boy Advance GameCube – Game Boy Advance link cable.
 * 6) Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games show their full colors on this system.
 * 7) There is a setting that allows you to customize the L/R and Y/X buttons on the GameCube controller for the L and R buttons for GBA games.
 * 8) There is even a zoom-in option that lets you zoom in the image!

Bad Qualities

 * 1) When it comes to Super Game Boy enhanced games, the enhancements are gone.
 * 2) The Game Boy Player does not work with GBA video cartridges. It doesn't matter though, since the cartridges had poor video quality.
 * 3) The startup disc displays the video at 480i or 480p. To be fair, it was made in 2003 and 720i/720p was far in the future.
 * 4) The "not connected" error. The sound it makes were completely creepy that it'll offer the "Sega CD disk on an actual CD player" error a school fight.

Reception
Most Reviews were positive. The Game Boy Player effectively increased the GameCube's library by the hundreds with the Game Boy Player, other's criticized the Game Boy Player as a cheap ploy. IGN stated that the Game Boy Player uses "muddies" for video.
