Hobbyist game developers and tinkerers who love the original Game Boy have a cool new book to pore over. Game Boy Coding Adventure is the latest release from No Starch Press, a publisher specializing in how-to books about computing and gaming. This massive, 456-page book teaches you how to make Game Boy games, but not with popular modern tools like GB Studio; this is a walkthrough for coding games and hardware functions in assembly, just like developers in the early ’90s.
Game Boy Coding Adventure is available for $50 in paperback and $35 on Kindle.
No Starch Press has published books on a wide variety of programming languages and game development tools. Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python is one of the publisher’s most popular game development books. There’s also Mission Python, which teaches teenagers how to create a space adventure game. No Starch Press is no stranger to niche game development tools, either. There are guides on making interactive, text-based adventures with Twine and puzzle-platformers with PuzzleScript. The publisher has an entire series of books on Scratch, the popular block-based programming language created by MIT Media Lab.
Other Game Boy books that are worth adding to your collection include The Game
