The Game Boy Color was an 8 bit handheld gaming console released by Nintendo in 1998. Pokemon Yellow anyone?

Emulators: lr-gambatte, lr-tgbdual, lr-mgba

lr-gambatte is the preferred single-player emulator, while lr-tgbdual runs with two instances for either two-player link cable games or parallel play on the same system.

lr-mgba is a modern emulator that aims to be fast and accurate, supports local cable games, external BIOS, Super Game Boy emulation, among many other features. It also emulates Game Boy and Game Boy Advance.

NOTE: Playing link cable games is similar to Game Boy.
