Play Game Boy Color Promotional Demo Online

Remember those glossy demo discs that came with magazines? The Game Boy Color Promotional Demo was like that, but way cooler because you could take it anywhere. It wasn’t just ads—it was actual playable chunks of games like Pokémon Crystal and Zelda: Oracle of Ages, all crammed into one tiny cartridge. I used to replay the same 30-second clips over and over, trying to squeeze every bit of fun out of them before the real games dropped.

What’s wild is how well it holds up as a nostalgia trip. The menus have that chunky pixel aesthetic, the music loops are stupidly catchy, and there’s something oddly charming about how hard it tries to sell you on the GBC’s "mind-blowing" color tech. If you’ve got a soft spot for late-90s handheld gaming, this demo’s like digging up a time capsule full of hype.
