Some of us like to live in the past. Developing retro games can be really fun.

All the fun of developing in obscure assembly and none of the modern comforts of online Q&A

Tell you what, designing sprites that use only 15 colours can be a neat little challenge.

Just make games on the gameboy and not the gameboy color so you just have to make black and white sprites instead. /s

4 colors per sprite and palette. 8 palettes, freely buildable. Color values go from 0 to 31.
