  5. The Buttons The Game Boy has four operation buttons labeled "A", "B", "SELECT", and "START", as well as a directional pad.[8] There is a volume control dial on the right side of the console and a similar knob on the left side to adjust the contrast.[9] At the top of the Game Boy, a sliding on-off switch and the slot for the Game Boy cartridges are located.[10] Nintendo recommends users to leave a cartridge in the slot to prevent dust and dirt from entering the system.[11] The Game Boy also contains optional input and/or output connectors. On the left side of the system is an external power supply jack that allows users to use an external rechargeable battery pack or AC adapter (sold separately) instead of four AAbatteries.[12] The Game Boy requires 6 VDC of at least 150 mA.[13] A 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack is located on the bottom side of the console which allows users to listen to the audio with headphones or speakers.[14] On the right side is a port that allows a user to connect to another Game Boy system via a link cable, provided both users are playing the same game.[15] The port can also be used to connect a Game Boy Printer. The link cable was originally designed for players to play head-to-head two-player games such as in Tetris. However, game developer Satoshi Tajiri would later use the link cable technology as a method of communication and networking in the popular Pokémon video game series.[16]

  6. Advantages • One of the advantages of the Game Boy is that you don’t have to keep it plugged in all of the time. You can take it with you.
