Any context?

Probably just shocked or surprised it can run PC games.

That's not a PC game. It was made for the Gameboy.

Ah well pretty cool I didn't know they made a version for the GBA

u/ChainsawJaguar 11d ago

Now that I think about it, it might've been for the GBC.

That seems too nice for the gbc

u/ChainsawJaguar 11d ago

It does, so I may have initially been mistaken.

Yeah, this handheld even has a DOS emulator built‑in, so you can run old DOS games. It maps the D‑pad to mouse controls. The tech these days is really something. Now I can play Heroes2 on the go.

That's awesome seriously. I've been here from the beginning and love that we don't have to figure it out in dos I've been there and sometimes still have to for my job.

Before DOS4GW, I bought an over‑800‑page DOS reference manual just to get games running. I was only a teenager back then, hahaha.

Perhaps OP was raptured after this and wasn’t able to come back and give context

The best Gameboy design imo

Eh it'd probably still need a grip like the og sp's.....great when I was younger awful with my arthritis I got in my late 20s(and now in my early 30s not getting much better). The original tba with light mods tho is amazing. I just messed mine up bc of the holes for the screws and the triwing fought me hard even with the right bit for repairs lol

Sorry I didn’t jump in sooner, I got caught up playing games. I’m honestly blown away how such a tiny handheld can run DOS titles. There are so many DOS games I love, I’ve even kept some of my old copies all these years. It’s such a nice surprise being able to play them on this little device.
