In brief: The question of whether something can run Doom is almost always yes, it can. But Minecraft, while not exactly renowned for being graphically intensive, is more demanding and modern, so it's especially impressive that a YouTuber managed to get the game running on Nintendo's 1998 Game Boy Color.

The feat was achieved by Game of Tobi (via Retro Dodo), who's a bit of an expert at getting games running on devices they were never designed for, though this is the first Game Boy project he has shown.

Game of Tobi chose Minecraft because the first big project on the channel was getting the best-selling game of all time running on the Game Boy Advance.
