PSY GAMES Remote Viewing Training · Game Boy & Game Boy Color
PSY GAMES is the console-port title of Remote Viewing Training, the psychic-perception trainer that began as a web app, now running on a 35-year-old handheld. This is the full game, built bare-metal for the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color: no game engine, just the hardware and a 2 MB cartridge.
01What this is
The Game Boy build is a faithful port of the web app and its PlayStation sibling, carrying all four modes onto a cartridge that boots on real hardware. It detects the console at startup: on an original Game Boy it renders in the classic four-shade green LCD ramp; on a Game Boy Color it switches to the cyan terminal palette that matches the rest of the project.
- Remote Viewing. The original target-sketch trainer: clear your mind, draw your impressions, then grade them against the revealed target.
- Search & Rescue. The remote-geolocation drill, with a reticle that tightens every round.
- Men In Black. The gate-interdiction protocol and its stroke economy.
- PSYOP. The spot-the-lie broadcast, living in its own ROM bank.
- 861 targets. Every image from the original set, dithered and packed across the cartridge's banks.
- Hand-authored chiptune. A title drone, menu arpeggio, win fanfare, and a noise-sweep lose outro, all written for the Game Boy's sound hardware.

03How it compares to the original
The cartridge keeps every mode and the full target set; what changes is what the hardware allows. The web app draws in full color at any resolution with touch input and streams from a large library. The Game Boy works inside a 160×144 screen, a four-color budget, a D-pad, and a fixed cartridge, so the port trades fidelity and input for the thing the web app can't do: running on the actual handheld.
