Originally released in 1998, the game boy color had a shocking volume for a small 8-bit game console. (Just ask anyone who played Episode 1 racer.) But I never thought that this thing could handle windows on its humble hardware. Ok, it can’t do it In fact Do this … but someone has created a version of “Windows” that makes a very concrete effort, and even released it as a full cartridge.
The GBS Windows is a type of game Epting Windows 3.1 on the famous handheld of Nintendo. Made in a game-making program called GB Studio, it is not actually a fully developed operating system, but it Is An impressive deep bit of retro nostalgia, made appropriately and sold by an AT store, called a rubenratro. And when I say “has been sold,” I mean you can buy a real, physical cartridge, complete with a retail box that integrates elements of both the original game boy cartridge packaging and Windows 3.1 boxes. It is according to retro dojo.
The “operating system” looks like a small, small version of Windows 3.1 running on the 1.7-inch screen of GBC. This includes versions Tunnel troller And “Cannon“(Which looks the same missile Command-Coning game), Plus a small midi piano and a media player that can play some sample track back while other “apps” are open. But the shostopper should be pint -shaped paint Program, which can also print your pixelized works on a game boy printer if you can find one. I like the “American Megatrain” lesson because the Fox Bios screen appears, which shows a good touch to the GBC’s eight kilobite memory.
Unfortunately, it looks like a true labor of a small time manufacturer, and the initial stock is quickly sold. But Rubenrato is making new retro boxes, manual and other retro-friendly accessories regularly, so you may be able to sign some new stocks if you sign up for Etsy Alerts. The entire package is/approximately $ 45 USD, but can cost a bundle in shipping from Spain depending on your location.
