The Game Boy Color is an icon of the late 90’s and early 00’s that has been having a comeback in recent years. Because of modding (especially adding backlights), GB studio, and probably nostalgia, homebrew Game Boy and Game Boy Color games have become a thing, and we are getting around five or ten new games released for the system every year.…

Anbernic RG DS Review
Since Nintendo and Sony gave up on the handheld scene (their last handhelds being the 3DS and PS Vita), we’ve reached a new era where many companies release many variants of handhelds that use similar chipsets. Companies such as Anbernic, Ayneo, Retroid, and Miyoo have released devices that use operating systems as varied as Linux, Android, and Windows.…
PS4 Hex Gaming New Spike Controller (TMR Joysticks) Review
The PlayStation 4 is over twelve years old at this point, yet new titles are still being released for it, and it has a library containing some of the most critically acclaimed titles ever. For those reasons and more, you may still be playing the console. At some point, you may need to upgrade your PS4’s controllers.…
8-Bitdo SN30 Pro Bluetooth Gamepad Review
8-Bitdo produces some great Bluetooth controllers. I’ve owned multiple 8-Bitdo controllers, but I always end up trading them, selling them, or allowing someone to borrow them and never getting them back. I find one good thing about the controllers are that they connect so easily to computers. Whether that’s a Chromebook, a PC, a Mac, or an Android device.…
Hispeedido Laminated DMG Screen Kit Review
The original DMG Game Boy is a legendary piece of hardware that those of a certain age will have fond memories of. The system sold like hot cakes and is a good example of how Nintendo created amazing experiences from hardware that some thought was outdated. The liquid crystal display, similar to calculator displays, was tested, modified, and continuously worked on by engineers at Nintendo under the leadership of the late Gunpei Yokoi.…

The days of dedicated handhelds from the big console publishers have been over for a while now. Instead, what we have is a handheld space filled with ’emulation handhelds’.

It comes with a few innovative new features.…
Hispeedido GBC 2.8 Inch Screen Kit Review
The Game Boy Color is a timeless handheld that was personally my first videogame machine that was exclusively mine. Me and my brother shared an N64 when we were growing up, and that console along with Zelda: Ocarina of Time are the reason I became obsessed with gaming. However, The Game Boy Color, that I received in 1998 along with Pokemon Blue, took my obsession with gaming to another level.…
Everdrive GB X3 Vs Everdrive GB X5 Vs Everdrive GB X7 Which Should you buy?
The Game Boy and Game Boy Color hold special memories for many of us. As well as being dedicated handhelds that were getting new releases for a significant part of the 90’s, they were also home to some great Mario, Pokémon, and Zelda games. Furthermore, in 2026, there is a flourishing Game Boy homebrew scene. Because of all this, there are many, many games that you can load up your flash cart with.…
R36T – Emulation Handheld – Review
Twenty years ago, Nintendo held the keys to the handheld gaming market. Sega had challenged them with the Game Gear in the 90s, but the Game Boy Pocket, and then the Game Boy Color had comfortably outsold them. Then later, Sony came along and almost outsold the Nintendo DS (for a while) with the high-powered PSP.…
