Game Boy Games Online – 1,316 Handheld Classics
The original Game Boy (1989) sold over 118 million units on the strength of Tetris, and its library grew into one of the most important in handheld history: Pokémon Red and Blue, Super Mario Land 1 and 2, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, Kirby’s Dream Land, Metroid II and Donkey Kong ’94. Past Play has 1,316 Game Boy games playable in the browser, rendered in the original four-shade green or with a colour palette if you prefer.
Game Boy titles are short-session by design, which makes them a good fit for playing in a browser tab. Controls are the D-pad on the arrow keys with Z and X for A and B; the Save State button covers the games that never had battery saves. The Pokémon generation-one cartridges run with their in-game saving intact, so you can build a team over several sittings.
