AH, RETRO HANDHELD GAMING. It’s a medium many have fond memories of, including the MaximumPC team. Back in the 1990s, long before we had smartphones capable of streaming games direct from our home rigs, portable gaming was the domain of companies such as Nintendo and Sega, with the vastly successful Game Boy being the handheld console of choice for many gamers.
Naturally, those consoles had a vast selection of games, with everything from classics like Pokemon to cult hits like Golden Sun. Of course, playing these games today isn’t easy. Functioning handhelds from over two decades ago are a rare find and ROM emulation is an option but means a shift to ill-suited hardware.
