The Game Boy launched in 1989 with a 4-bit CPU, a 160×144 dot-matrix screen and four shades of green — hardware that was already modest for its day. It outsold everything anyway, because the battery lasted around 30 hours and Tetris came in the box.

The library rewards that constraint. Without colour or processing power to lean on, Game Boy developers worked in silhouette and rhythm, which is why titles like Link’s Awakening, Metroid II and the original Pokémon games still read clearly on a modern display.
