for players who want to rise challenges on their favorite games.
This platform supports the great part of old video-game systems (NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA, Genesis, PC engine, etc.) and offers challenges for most of games.
Recalbox allows you to connect a retroachievements.org account, rising to challenges and being in the competition of best players.
