Parlor, in brief.

Everything you need to write about Parlor: a one-paragraph description, the icon in a few sizes, and the palette. No commercial game footage is provided, and we ask that coverage not pair Parlor with any.

Boilerplate

Parlor is a Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS emulator for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac. It is built around the living room: Bluetooth controllers are first-class on every platform, saves and save states follow you through iCloud, and the Apple TV app restores your whole library from the cloud after tvOS purges its storage. Emulation runs at full speed with audio as the master clock, so there is no crackle and no judder. Parlor is free software under the GPL v3, built on the SameBoy, mGBA and melonDS cores.
