A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
A handheld port, of a console port, of an arcade games, Magical Tetris Challenge on Gameboy Color features 3 different multiplayer modes for 2 players over a link cable. One of these modes is a unique co-op option and there is a Vs mode that uses big Tetris pieces instead of sending garbage lines to […]
There are many ports of the original Donkey Kong Country but this Gameboy Color version is the only one that has these exclusive 2-player mini games. However, you’ll need to grind through the single player campaign to unlock them… along with a bunch of Gameboy Printer stickers and images.
Since it was released after the excellent Mario Tennis, Snoopy Tennis on Gameboy Color was an overlooked licensed sports game. However, despite being developed by a very small team, it included a robust multiplayer mode for 2 linked players. There are five 2-player link cable modes in total and one of them is Squash!
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 […]
Tweety’s High Flying Adventure features a 2-player link cable VS mode that is sort of one of those “frenemy” type games. Each player must collect Mario Kart-like items from inside mailboxes, then use them against Sylvester to make him drop his paw print. First to collect 3 paw print will win. There are 8 total […]
I am super excited that Gameboy and Gameboy Color games are now available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. In this stream, me and Gillman browse the launch title as well as the options while I provide some insight as to why I am happy these games are alive once again.
Mixing the vertical shooter mechanics of Space Invaders, complete with a slowly lowering stack of enemies (balloons in this case), and the Match-3 mechanics of many puzzle games, Yogi Bear: Great Balloon Blast is a quality hidden gem on Nintendo’s Gameboy Color. Even better, there are two multiplayer LINK CABLE modes: co-op and vs! Both […]
Daffy Duck: Fowl Play is a 1999 Gameboy Color game that is easily dismissed because it is a handheld licensed game based on a popular Looney Toons character. However, Sunsoft went hard on this one. The animation is easily some of the best on GBC. I thought I was going to end the stream at […]
Indie game publishers Incube8 Games and Retro Modding will be launching a Kickstarter campaign for the tactical RPG, Infinity for Game Boy Color on August 18. In Infinity, an ancient, nameless evil stirs beneath the earth, twisting the land and its people alike with its corrupting force. Two rival nations careen toward war, as shadowy figure arms […]
Indie developer Alex Watkinson is kickstarting an original Gameboy game called Planet Hop. Playing as a bunny, the player needs to carefully time bounces to defeat enemies, collect items, and reach the end of the stage. There are many kickstarter goals but there will be over 70 stages and numerous bosses. The physical cart will […]
