Mission
Preserve Gaming History
Company Overview
Epilogue builds hardware and software to preserve and relive the experience of classic video games with modern fidelity. Our core mission: Preserve Gaming History.
Founded in 2019 with a vision, Epilogue emerged from a passion for preserving gaming history. We believe you shouldn't have to choose between your physical collection and modern convenience, between playing your games and preserving them, or between affordability and quality.
Our Operator series creates the missing bridge between your physical game collection and modern PCs - the legitimate way to play the games you already own. Each device is meticulously engineered around three pillars: Play (big screen, modern controllers), Preserve (protect saves, future-proof memories), and Develop (homebrew creation).
The Operator Philosophy: Three Pillars
Play
Experience your cartridges on big screens with modern controllers. Powered by respected emulation cores (mGBA, bsnes) for pixel-perfect accuracy.
Preserve
Never lose precious save files to dying batteries. Create personal archives of games you own with seamless save synchronization.
Develop
Test your own game creations on original hardware. Join the creative retro community with development tools like GB Studio.

Story Angles
1. The Preservation Powerhouse
A digital guardian for your physical collection - focus on archiving, preserving and safekeeping entire childhood Pokémon teams, old Game Boy Camera photos of loved ones or anything in between. With plug-and-play functionality and our intuitive Playback software, it doesn't get any simpler than this!
2. Best of Both Worlds
Switch seamlessly between your original console and the Operator. Enjoy the nostalgia of a retro device, and also the modern comforts of playing on a big screen with a Bluetooth controller. With the Operator's transparent design as a nod to the original's impeccable taste, it looks as good on your shelf as it does in action.
3. Solving a 30-Year-Old Problem
Few things are riskier than still relying exclusively on the original game battery, as it nears its 20-30 year shelf life expectancy. Bridging the gap between physical retro games and digital storage on modern PCs, the Operator protects your save data while you replace the aging battery and give your cartridge a second chance at life.
4. A Global Phenomenon with Humble Beginnings
Bursting on the retro gaming scene in January 2021, GB Operator is the brainchild of two young Romanian entrepreneurs. It took shape during a global pandemic, while stuck in a studio apartment on the edge of Bucharest, same place where the first units would later be assembled by hand, with help from friends and family. The wild success story that followed brought Operators to customers across 165+ countries, defying all odds which are often stacked against bootstrapped start-ups.
