Published by CraePlay, MOTE: The Manuscript is the latest walking simulator that follows a similar formula as MOTE: Workshop and MOTE: The Old Office.

The Game Gear version of Bust-A-Move features a 2-player versus mode when using the Gear-to-Gear link cable. It wasn’t until many years later did the Gameboy receive a multiplayer compatible version of Bust-A-Move making this Game Gear version a more superior way to play this classic puzzle game.
