Perfect Dark is an official demake and new game in the series produced, a shooter game with a female character developed and distributed Rareware Limited/Rare Limited under license from Nintendo for Game Boy Color in 2000 without distribution in the Japanese market.

The game, a direct prequel to the Nintendo 64 version, follows agent Joanna Dark as she completes her training at the Carrington Institute research center and uncovers information that points to rival company dataDyne. Gameplay revolves around shooting opponents and completing objectives such as rescuing hostages or retrieving items. The game also includes a multiplayer mode in which two players can compete against each other in various deathmatch modes.

Perfect Dark was developed at the same time as the Game Boy Color version of Donkey Kong Country. It is compatible with Game Boy printers, Game Link cables and transfer cartridge accessories, and includes a vibration function built into the cartridge.

The transfer cartridge allows players to unlock turn-based cheat modes from Nintendo 64 games. The game received mixed reviews from critics, who criticized its complex and shallow gameplay but noted its technical aspects, such as graphics and compatibility features.

This adaptation got good reviews and reception from gamers on a Game Boy Color, all very excellent technical aspects from Rare, which were very important was the Perfect Dark Team.
