rew. (pronounced as "Ryu"[1]) is a free Game Boy and Game Boy Color for Windows platforms, but it also can emulate Famicom (NES) and NEC PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16). The emulator was released in October of 1999 by a anonymous Japanese developer (although his name is probably ryze[2]). This emulator was extremely popular in Japan, its reproducibility was particularly excellent among the others Game Boy emulators of that time period, it spread quickly after its release and have become one of the standard Game Boy emulators. An official website was released in March 2000, but due to high traffic, the website was deleted a few days later, and development came to an end.
