The Game Boy emulator now on your smartwatch

Google and Apple can pitch them as productivity tools all they want, but the real reason anyone would strap a smartwatch to their wrist is as a more covert way to kill time and avoid boredom. So it ’s good to know that when your Twitter and Facebook feeds run dry, you can always boot up a Game Boy emulator on your Android Wear watch to stay distracted.

Android Wear devices have already been hacked to run Windows 95 and it turns out it’s the same 16-year-old web developer, Corbin Davenport, who’s responsible for getting this tiny Game Boy VBC emulator working on a Samsung Gear Live.

To actual ly play games like Tetris or Pokemon you'll need a Bluetooth gamepad as well. But,before you complain about the screen being too small, remember that the Game Boy Micro’s two-inch display was almost as tiny as the Gear Live’s.
