Gowin (高遠科技有限公司) was a publisher and developer of Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. Its earlier mono Game Boy games were developed by a team connected to Gamtec & Vast Fame, while its later Game Boy Color games were developed by a different team in mainland China.
Some of their mono games will only run on mono systems like the original Game Boy, due to the boot logo change. Others will not run on the Game Boy Advance line of systems, nor the Super Game Boy or Game Boy Player.
