My brother and I would survive our houseboat adventures during our summers by playing our Game Boy. While we really enjoyed the Donkey Kong game for Game Boy, it wasn’t a traditional platforming game. We soon discovered this gem, and I have been playing it ever since! In terms of story, the game follows Mario… Read More Game Boy Review – Super Mario Land
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was my religion when I was growing up. I had all the toys, the video cassettes, and dressed up for them for halloween! I didn’t have any of the video games, but traded with my friends – which is how I first came across the Game Boy iteration of the turtles!… Read More Game Boy Review – TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan
Contra became a classic after being released on the NES back in the lat 80s. In response to the hit, Konamia decided to release a Game Boy version – action on the run! I recently took a trip and brought my faithful Gameboy Advanced alongside a couple games – one of which was Operation C… Read More Gameboy Review – Operation Contra

Turns out this is the first in a trilogy of games that ended with Demon’s Crest for SNES! It stars the evil monster Firebrand (from the Ghouls and Ghosts game series) who turns out… Read More Game Boy Review – Gargoyle’s Quest
When I first played Mario Land 2, I thought it was the Game Boy version of Super Mario World for the SNES. There was a similar overworld map, mario was big and easy to see, and you could do the downward spiral jump to crush bricks! Having recently completed this game, it most certainly is not a Game Boy version of… Read More GAMEBOY Review – Super Mario Land 2
Growing up, the Gameboy was my lifeline to video games during long summer excursions to Lake Kippewa, the location of the family house boat. We would be gone for 7-10 days at a time, and my Gameboy got me through it! Alleyway is a game I never owned until recently, but learned that it was one… Read More GAMEBOY Review – Alleyway
