A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Rampage World Tour is the first Rampage title for Gameboy Color but it sadly omitted an official 2-player link cable co-op mode. However, the developers started this feature and left this option hidden in the final built. By entering a secret code on the main menu (hold SELECT, then hit UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, DOWN, […]
Mario Tennis and Mario Golf on N64 and Gameboy Color were developed by Camelot. This forward thinking developer included Transfer Pak functionality in these sports titles but Mario Golf has one unfortunate downside of connecting the console version to the handheld version, one misstep that was corrected with Mario Tennis. Mario Golf was the first […]
Mickey’s Speedway USA (N64) is Transfer Pak compatible with the Gameboy Color version of the same name. When the GBC cart is inserted into the TP, Huey becomes a playable racer. However, it took a few attempts to get this feature to work. If it doesn’t work for you, keep resetting until it finally takes. […]
Loony Toons: Marvin Strikes Back has three link cable multiplayer mini games: Simon Says, Rock/Paper/Scissors, and a Fallguys-clone. These games are pretty awful, have low presentation values, and do not even have sound or music. Which makes me think they were tacked on right before the game shipped or the devs ran out of time […]
Disney’s The Lion King: Simba’s Mighty Adventure is a forgotten Gameboy Color sequel (also a version on PS1) that features a pointless and nearly broken 2-player link cable mode. The linked TAG option is a race to hold a star for 2 minutes longer than your opponent. But Nala has the advantage as her Start […]
When the Gameboy Color version of Mario Tennis is connected to the N64 version via the Transfer Pak, data can be swapped and new content gets unlocked. Sadly, the Transfer Pak functionality was removed from the Switch Online version of Mario Tennis on N64… but there is a reason why the GBC characters were not […]
The Chromatic handheld is a new Gameboy Color released by a 3rd party called ModRetro. This handheld gaming system has all the features of Nintendo’s original device but with some nifty backlit screen options. Adding value to the $200 price point, ModRetro also includes their own officially licensed version of Tetris. Unfortunately, the multiplayer mode […]
Army Men 2 features two 2-player link cable vs modes: deathmatch and CTF.This GBC sequel also acts as the precursor to the technically impressive GBA sequel and that game’s Single-Pak link multiplayer mode.
Magical Drop on Gameboy Color has a 2-player link cable VS mode but it doesn’t actually do anything – pointless.
Austin Powers: Oh, Behave! and Austin Powers: Welcome to My Underground Lair! feature interchangeable 2-player link cable mini games. One is a digital way to play Rock, Paper, Scissors and the other is an Othello clone. Plus, players can swap text message using the GBC’s IR Port. Those text messages can also be printed using […]
