A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
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. So when using an Analogue Pocket DOCK, the user loses access to the Gameboy link port since the dock doesn’t have any link port extension/pass-through.
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 […]
Originally bundled with F1 Race by Nintendo, the 4-player adapter was an accessory that allowed four Gameboys to be linked via link cables as opposed to the standard two. Only a few handful of games were compatible with this accessory with about half of them being racing games. This video covers every Gameboy game that […]
A quality conversion of the original NES release, Dr. Mario (1990) on Gameboy features a fun 2-player link cable vs mode that still holds up today (in my opinion).
A nice tune to put in the background while you do stuff.This tune is played when a player is declared in the 2-player link cable vs mode. The 2-player link cable mode is best of 3.
Sequel to the NES title, Burai Fighter Deluxe is a brutal shmup. The 2-player link cable VS Mode is supposed to be about out scoring your opponent but instead, it becomes a match to see who can last longer. With one-hit-and-you’re-out gameplay, each run might only last 10 seconds before someone takes a bullet to […]
In comparison to 2-player link cable mode in Double Dragon II (GB), Double Dragon 3’s 2-player co-op mode has seen a dramatic shift in speed and especially difficulty. This game is super, super hard. The AI shows no mercy and is difficult to make progress even when watching each other’s backs. Newly implemented is the […]
When linked with 2 Gameboys and 2 copies of the game, the entire campaign in Double Dragon II can be played in co-op. This is a much more fun way to play this slow moving brawler. Double Dragon II on Gameboy is also very different than the NES version. When A+B are pressed, they duck […]
