The thirty-year-old handheld continues to impress
(Image credit: stacksmashing)
Nintendo's 1989 Game Boy console continues to impress as hardware engineers have successfully hacked the handheld into playing a game of Tetris against another player - over an internet connection.
Stacksmashing made news earlier this year when they hacked the Game Boy to mine bitcoin (albeit at a snail's pace) and a clever hardware hacker managed to get a modded SNES console to produce real-time ray-traced graphics.
While most people often look at old tech as useless clutter that's taking up space in drawers, closets, and basements across the world, in reality there's often very little actually wrong with the underlying hardware. There's even a whole generation of homebrew programmers who are writing new, exciting, and frightfully original games to run on the Game Boy console more than three decades after it first took the world by storm.
Sure, it may be underpowered (nobody's saying you can play Resident Evil Village on an SNES in all its ray-traced glory, after all), but processors, memory, and electronic circuits are incredibly versatile things and there's nothing stopping them from being repurposed to do all sorts of things the original creators of that technology never imagined.
