Gameboy Color Resident Evil Found & Released

Christmas came early for horror fans—because someone dug up a fully playable Game Boy Color version of Resident Evil.

Yes, really. HotGen Studios back in the day tried to port the original PS1 horror classic to the tiny, monochrome screen. It got axed… until now. Games That Weren’t just dropped the “final” build—98% complete, bugs and all—and yes, you can actually finish it. No more half-baked ROMs from 2013; this one’s got full boss fights, inventory management, and even that iconic door-slamming tension… on a device smaller than your palm.

Imagine battling Mr. X while squinting at a 2-bit zombie, or solving puzzles with a D-pad the size of a pinhead. It’s absurd. It’s brilliant. And somehow, it works.

The original port was abandoned after Nintendo nixed the project (probably terrified of how much blood would stain their handhelds). This version? It’s not just a demo—it’s the real deal. Playable. Completable. Probably haunted by 2001-era development notes.

Grab it, poke at the glitches, and ask yourself: if this had shipped in 2001… would we still be arguing about the best horror games today? Or just wondering why we didn’t get more of these?

Play it here — before your eyes turn into Game Boy pixels.
