A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
things that are happening
The Game & Watch Gallery series on Gameboy contains a hidden LINK CABLE feature that connects the first three games, unlocking content spread across the trilogy! This is amazing because this creative feature isn’t even mentioned in the instruction manual.
Space Invaders on Gameboy holds a crazy secret and is the only Gameboy game to do this special thing! Can this even be considered a Gameboy game?
Over 20 Gameboy games have special Super Gameboy functionality that allowed for multiplayer gaming by only needing one cartridge. Many were exclusive to Japan. Normally, 2 Gameboys, 2 copies of a compatible game, and 1 link cable are needed for two-player multiplayer. However, all the games featured in this video support 2-4 players by only […]
This week, me and Gillman played through the opening of Wandering Sword, a Chinese RPG that looks like Octopath Traveler.
Did you know there are secret animations when using a Super Gameboy?Eight of the ten borders/frames feature charming animation if you left the controller go idle for a certain amount of time. To access the Super Gameboy menu, hit the L+R shoulder buttons when using a SGB. Here are all the animations, captured in HD […]
An unfortunate design of the Analogue Pocket is that is the Gameboy multiplayer link port is on the bottom of the handheld, right next to the USB-C charging/docking input.

This week, Gillman and I play Scarlet Tower, a Vampire Survivors clone while talking about recent games we are playing. Honestly, we just wanted to catch up because it has been a few weeks since we last streamed.
Fortified Zone is essentially those top-down stages from classic Contra titles but with 2-player co-op over a link cable. It is impressive because each player can venture in their own direction with all their action happening off-screen. Honestly, I am not really sure how this is possible on the original Gameboy but it offers some […]
Anime streamer IRONMOUSE was streaming with her commentary over random YouTube videos when she happened to find my video walkthrough of the Galloping Ghost Arcade, the largest arcade in the world with 900+ games all set to free play. You can watch her stream of my video HERE. You can watch my original cut, non-Ironmouse […]
Don’t let the big headed racers fool you. Woody Woodpecker Racing on Gameboy Color is probably the closest thing to Mario Kart on GBC. It is a quality, purposely designed slow-paced racer with an elaborate 2-player link cable mode. The multiplayer mode was actually designed as a focus, not an after thought. I guess not […]
