About this tag
The handheld emulation tag highlights experiments that bring modern-style game ideas to classic portable hardware.

The project runs as a .gbc ROM on the 1998 Game Boy Color and can also run on the original Game Boy, although performance is reduced.

This archive follows inventive retro gaming projects and their hardware constraints.
