Simply pop off the battery cover of your Game Boy Color, take out the batteries, and snap the
PowerHandles in. You?ll want to charge it if you don?t want to play while attached to an A/C adapter, but that?s a simple leave-it-plugged-overnight ordeal. You can charge it while plugged to the Game Boy as well, which is nice if you?re a lazy bum that doesn?t want to detach it.
After snapping it in and charging it up, you simply use your Game Boy Color like you would normally. Only now it has two handles, one on each side, for easy use. I always had problems with holding my Game Boy for extended periods of time, but these solve that, err, handily.
The functioning is perfunctory. There are even places on the back where your pointer fingers can rest, which I didn?t really notice until I looked. It?s definitely ergonomically designed, and since you?re no longer holding onto the angular Game Boy, but instead rounded handles, you?ll find your gaming experience to be more conducive to extended playing times.
And, fortunately, the batteries keep up. I?ve been using the same charge for a long time now, and it shows no sign of waning. You can play with the A/C hookup directly, if necessary, but the times between charges are great enough to not need to bring multiple battery packs on long car trips and whatnot. The PowerHandles are quite nice.
