A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
things that are happening
The Adventures of Elmo In Grouchland on Gameboy Color is a crazy, amazing game! If you ever wondered what would happen if Elmo took drugs, this is probably it. All because he apparently lost his blanket (even though he is holding it in his hands). How is this a game for kids? What is happening? […]
Shanghai Mini is the tile matching Mahjong puzzle game for Neogeo Pocket Color and it has a surprisingly fun 2-player link cable vs mode.
This week, Gillman and I play some Thief Simulator 2 on PC. Along the way we steal a bunch of random household items, sell them at the pawn store for mega profit, and get tazed by the po-po.
Pocket Reversi for the Neogeo Pocket Color is classic Othello and has a 2-player link cable vs mode. But Dr. Reversi forgot to include a Hot Seat multiplayer option so you’ll need to link 2 copies to play head-to-head against a human.
Pac-Man on Gameboy is probably easy to dismiss. Been there, done that… right? While the single player is straightforward and expected, the 2-player link cable mode is actually the best part of this handheld port. See this multiplayer mode here.

Magical Drop Pocket is a vertically shooting puzzle game for the Neogeo Pocket Color that has a 2-player link cable vs mode. Instead of controlling a boring cursor, players force a clown to suck up balls from the top of the screen, the relocate them in other places to make combos.
The Neogeo Pocket Color version of Puyo Pop sells for mint today but still contains classic Puyo Puyo gameplay. Unfortunately, the lack of music and confusing options do not do it any favors, but at least the classic match-4 gameplay is still fun regardless.
Puzzle Link 2 is a more-of-the-same sequel only with a slightly more appealing visual style. But both Puzzle Link tiles on Neogeo Pocket Color are quality additions to the handheld’s library and the 2-player link cable mode is fun, entertaining, and highly approachable.
