The Internet Archive Just Uploaded a Bunch of Playable, Classic Handheld Games
The non-profit Internet Archive is perhaps best known for its Wayback Machine that takes snap shots of web sites so you can see what they looked like in the past. However, it also has a robust side project where it emulates and uploads old, outdated games that aren’t being maintained anymore. Recently, the organization added a slew of a unique kind of game that’s passed into memory: handheld LCD electronic games.

This meant the graphics were incredibly limited and each unit could only play the one game it was designed to play. A Game Boy, this was not.
