Play GB games (lemm.ee)

So I have these old, original Game Boy (like, the grey one with the maroon buttons) games I wanna play again (original Pokemon Blue). What can I get to do so?

I bought a GB on eBay but the screen was barely visible. I'm comfortable partially building/programming something myself, and would also be fine with an adapter or some such that allows me to play the cartridge or copy its contents so I can play on my laptop or Raspberry Pi or whatever.

Suggestions sought!

I like my Hyperkin Retron Sq.

The Hyperkin Retron Sq is a nice enough for playing Gameboy and Gameboy Color cartridges.

It's actually fine for lots of Gameboy Advance games, as well.

But, by virtually every account I have seen, the Analogue Pocket is a much better option, for about the same price. If I had been aware of the Analogue Pocket, I would have bought it, instead, or at least first.

I saw the pocket, very impressive. Pretty big price tag for how much I'll use it, but worth the quality from the specs I see.
