Rainbow Six is a first-person shooter with an emphasis on realistic weapons and tactics.
You must use existing intelligence like floor plan layouts to plan your assault.
You can use up to four teams, with a variety of equipment from simple body armor to biosuits, breaching kit and more.
There are many different weapons available, from pistols to machine guns to shotguns to grenades.
You can switch between different teams as needed, or leave them under AI control.
It is possible to coordinate different teams with go codes, engage a variety of terrorists or perform stealth missions.
The game also features multiplayer with a variety of maps and mission types to choose from.
The PC version contains 16 missions.
The N64 version has 12 missions however only 10 are from the original game and 2 are from the Eagle Watch expansion.
The missions are also ordered differently than in the original PC version.
The interface was streamlined for the N64 console and controller, missions can now be played in a split screen co-operative multiplayer mode, and the pre-rendered videos from the PC version have been reduced to slide shows of a few still images.
The PlayStation version contains only 14 of the 16 missions of the PC version.
The PlayStation version reduces the 20 special operatives to 9, and only 3 operatives can be brought on a mission.
The pre-planning part of teach mission has been severely reduced to only allowing the player to select each of the operatives insertion points.
This version has more of a lone soldier feel to it with much of the teamwork aspect of the game being very rudimentary.
About Game Boy Color
The Game Boy Color (1998) added a color screen to the original Game Boy formula while remaining backwards compatible with the entire existing cartridge library. Its colorful, semi-transparent cartridge shells make it a visually distinct platform for shelf collectors, and several late-cycle exclusives — released just before the Game Boy Advance took over — are notably harder to find complete today.

Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Game Boy Color titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
