Handheld game roms

December 25, 2018 — shinohai

While searching for the Basic games collection the other day, I stumbled upon a forgotten archive containing roms for a bunch of old handheld electronic games from the 70's and 80's. If you had any of the games on the list below, your childhood was likely pretty awesum. I have used MESS to run these, but feel free to try on other platforms (as I did not include any MESS-specific xml files with this archive).

List of games contained in archive:
