From Below Pocket is compatible with every version of Game Boy, and it takes advantage of the strengths of each system in a way that few games do.From Below Pocket contains all versions of the game on a single, universal "DX" cartridge.
On original Game Boy and Game Boy Pocket, you get that classic black and white look, and a game that runs at full speed with no slowdown. This is the exact same experience as the other versions of the game.
Game Boy Color, as you would expect, adds full color graphics to the game. The faster CPU of the Game Boy Color is intentionally unutilized in order to stay consistent with the other platforms.
With Super Game Boy you will also find high quality color graphics, as well as a custom game border!
Multiplayer fully supports cross-play between all types of Game Boy systems. For example, a Game Boy Pocket can connect to a Game Boy Color using the exact same version of the game!
