From a few weeks ago, we’ve reviewed a new way to play Nintendo games via Mobile Safari using a new mobile Safari-based emulator called WebNES, this site allows you to play Nintendo games on your iPhone via mobile Safari browser.. Today we’ve got a new similar website that allows you to play Gameboy.. The website called Ben Midi’s Gameboy, and as the name suggests, it lets you play Game Boy games in-browser.
Unlike webNES, however, there’s no way to add ROMs. This can be both a good and bad thing, depending on your preferences. It’s good in that you can start playing one of 13 pre-loaded Game Boy games in seconds, but bad in that you can’t add any games outside of those 13…
Here’s the list of pre-loaded games:
- Mario Land
- Tetris
- Dr. Mario
- Bomberman
- Kirby’s Dream Land
- Kirby XXL
- Space Invaders
- Motocross Maniacs
- Bomb Jack
- Boxxle 2
- Castelian
- Centipede
- Stopwatch
Once you try to play a game, you will play it in portrait mode, but turning your device sideways gives you a much better looking full-screen controller. The good news is I haven’t encountered any lag in my testing—a major issue with webNES—but the bad news is the touchscreen controls are pretty rough.
Wanna give it a try ? From your iPhone, go to the following link URL: http://www.benmidi.com/gameboy/
Looking for more gameplay features ? I recommend using WebENS or GBA4iOS 2.0… Tell us what do you think about the new gameboy website..
