In 1990, Balloon Kid released on the American Gameboy, sequel to Balloon Fight (NES/Arcade). A decade later, Japan received an exclusive enhanced edition of Balloon Kid called Balloon Fight GB for Gameboy Color in 2000. This handheld sequel features a 2-player link cable VS Mode.

Bomberman Quest’s 2-player link cable multiplayer mode has some restrictions – it is 1v1 only due to the hardware limitations, and players must unlock items in the single player campaign for use in the multiplayer mode. However, for a 2 player top-down deathmatch, it isn’t so bad considering.
Dragon Dance, by Natsume and Crave, is an Arkanoid/Pong clone for Nintendo’s Gameboy Color handheld that you probably never played.

The FunKey S is a kickstarter retro handheld device that can play games from many classic systems such as NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA, PS1, NGPC, Genesis, Wonderswan and more!
