First Konami compilation for Game Boy Color. Four Konami titles from the Game Boy catalogue back-ported in color. Direct emulation, uneven selection. For portable Konami collectors, but the original carts often remain preferable. Minor in the compilation branch.

Collector interest
The first entry in a Konami compilation series released only in Japan in 1997, this Vol.1 gathers four Game Boy titles from Konami's catalogue re-released in colour, Super Game Boy compatible. The collecting interest targets the portable Konami completist after the full set, the straight emulation often making the originals preferable. The scarcity is that of a late Japanese release with moderate distribution, with no aura of its own beyond that series logic.
