What is Game Boy Homebrew?

Game Boy homebrew encompasses new games created for both the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color. Despite the limited 4-shade display (or 56 colors on GBC), developers continue to create impressive games that push the handheld's capabilities to their limits.

About Game Boy Development

The original Game Boy features a 4.19 MHz Sharp LR35902 CPU (a hybrid of Intel 8080 and Zilog Z80), 8KB of RAM, and a 160x144 pixel display. The Game Boy Color added a faster processor mode and support for up to 56 colors on screen.

Modern Game Boy development uses tools like GBDK (Game Boy Development Kit), RGBDS (Rednex Game Boy Development System), and GB Studio — a drag-and-drop game creator that's made Game Boy development accessible to everyone.
