The Gameboy Color is this weird in-between system, stuck in the middle of the original Gameboy and Gameboy Advance. Although backwards compatible with original GB games, GBC carts (clear carts, can also play the backwards compatible black carts) had a large library of exclusive games. Here are a handful that I enjoy that I think…

VIDEOCAST: Shmups Skill Test (PC)
Sort of like the Brain Age of shooters, Shmups Skill Test gauges your shmup skill level then grades you accordingly. It is an interesting take on the shooter genre and this game only costs a few bucks.
VIDEOCAST – Game Tengoku CruisinMix Special (PC)
This week, me and Gillman play some Game Tengoku CruisinMix Special (PC), a crazy anime shooter that involves arcades, pigs, outer space, mechs, claw catchers and much more. It is a pretty crazy but quality title. We also talk about how game prices are skyrocketing on the collector market.
VIDEOCAST – Heroes of Might and Magic II (GBC)
The Heroes of Might And Magic series is one of my favorite strategy RPGs of all time. But did you know there was not one, but TWO Heroes of MM titles on Gameboy Color? A while back, I streamed Heroes MM 1 and received some positive comments so I decided to stream of bit of…
VIDEOCAST – Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate (PC)
This week, Gillman and I play some Mortal Kombat 11 because he bought the super mega ultra version on sale for like 20 bucks or something. So we talk about the MK series, how I am impressed by the detailed story, and the MK movie that was on HBO earlier this year.
VIDEOCAST – Infinity (Unreleased GBC title from 1999)
Infinity was a Gameboy Color title that was in development from 1999-2001 then suddenly canceled. There is a Kickstarter trying to revive this project with stretch goals to finish it and release on a working Gameboy cartridge. After speaking with Retro Modding, they were kind enough to send me a ROM of the game in…
Videocast – Orcs Must Die! 3 (PC)
This week, Gillman and I try out some Orcs Must Die 3. It seems to be more of the same, which is by no means a bad thing, as real time action mixed with tower defense is usually a good combo.
Check out these Halo Slurpee and Mountain Dew drinks
What would a triple A game launch be without sugary drinks? Since the beginning, Microsoft’s popular Halo series has launched most installments with marketing tie-ins of some kind. Halo 2 through Halo 4 specifically partnered with 7-11’s Slurpee drink, MNT Dew Code Red, both a mixture of both. Wanting to give into the marketing hype,…
The Neogeo Pocket Color version of Pac-Man comes with a cool bonus – video demo here
Released in the summer of 1999, Pac-Man for the Neogeo Pocket Color recreates the arcade experience by offering players two modes of play: full screen, and scroll. Since the screen aspect ratio is rather different from the original arcade game, the full screen mode crunches the play field to fit the smaller screen of the…
VIDEOCAST – Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin (Switch)
This week, we check out Capcom’s newest Monster Hunter title which is actually more of a Pokemon-style RPG as opposed to an action role playing game.
