Play Linkboy on PC or Mac

Explore a whole new adventure with Linkboy, a Arcade game created by Pixel Respawn LLC. Experience great gameplay with BlueStacks, the most popular gaming platform to play Android games on your PC or Mac.

Linkboy is not really a game, it is more like a slick GBA, GBC, and GB toolbox that makes old handheld stuff feel new again. It starts fast, runs smooth, and the menus are simple enough that a player is loading a ROM and playing in seconds. On PC with BlueStacks it feels great because keyboard or controller mapping is super flexible, so buttons land exactly where the hands expect them. What stands out most is the link feature. It fakes the old cable so trading or battling works over a home network, or even side by side on one device if someone wants to pass controls. RetroAchievements are built in too, so classic runs get goals and popups that keep sessions interesting without changing the games.

There is a lot of control over how the games behave. Speed can go wild for grinding at up to 100x, or the action can slow down for tricky jumps. Save states are quick and there are multiple slots, plus cloud backup through Drive so progress does not vanish between devices. Cheats are supported, and it even emulates those weird cartridge extras like a gyro, light sensor, rumble, and the old GB Camera. Visual shaders help tune the look from sharp and clean to old screen vibes, and folders are easy to organize so big libraries do not become a mess. The interface follows Material You so it feels modern instead of clunky. It does not come with games, that part is on the player, but once the library is set, Linkboy makes it painless to play, tweak, and link up.

Make your gaming sessions memorable with precise controls that give you an edge in close combats and visuals that pop up, bringing every character to life.
