Yeah, there is a NES/Famicom version. Can't remember the title, but I know it exists as I distinctly remember seeing it on an episode of Chrontendo.

electricmastro Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Another recommendation. I wish the physics were a little better about picking up blocks, but if you’re willing to put up with that, then go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electricmastro Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Always amuses me how licensed games remind me of older games, like how this Hot Wheels games reminds me of Excitebike and Motocross Maniacs for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drludos Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Hi everyone, I just made a dedicated topic for this, but I figure that i'd also share the news here as this topic gathers all the Game Boy fans on AA. So, I'm pleased to announce that, after a successful Kickstarter, my Game Boy game GB Corp. is now available for sale to everyone. The game is an idle management game that rewards you for playing it on several Game Boy models (DMG, GBP, GBC, SGB, GBA...). For more detail, The talented Nick from Retrobreak Youtube channel did an in-depth review of the game here: The game is available in a beautiful physical edition published by Yastuna Games: https://yastuna-games.com/en/nintendo-game-boy/72-81-gb-corp.html#/28-cartouche_gb-grise/33-packaging-boite_notice_insert And also as a digital (ROM) version from here:https://drludos.itch.io/gb-corp And last but not least, as usual the digital (ROM) version of the game is a gift to all my supporters of the "free games" tier on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/free-games-gb-80768610 I hope you'll enjoy this quite unique game in the Game Boy library! Dr. Ludos. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 So, I'm slowly making an overdue oversight not be one anymore. Last week I decided to scrape together online the trio of GBA gems of Densetsu no Starfy, the underwater Kirby of Nintendo/TOSE circles which they stupidly only put here once, on the DS sadly, and that's it. I can make out a few words, but story really isn't going to block the play thankfully. I'm liking the style so far. Ended up getting #1 end of the last week, #2&3 showed up hours ago today all in great shape. The mechanics are good, challenge is there but light, not quite a pushover but it's no worse than Kirby if that maybe. I like it, good gameplay mechanics, great use of bright colors and nice audio. Stage designs seem pretty slick so far too. I found that CGR did some reviews of all three, they're short so this is worth a skim to see what I'm talking about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Since we're bringing up hot wheels, and I saw this 2in1 cart at the half price not out for sale yet th eother day which I may grab it got me wanting to bring it up. Stunt Track also had a GBA release, and it's quite unique among GBA racers in that it falls into the minority of titles that uses a 3D terrain engine. I've read from some saying this is oddly a fairly fun game to play because the engine gives it more freedom than most the voxel/scaled mode7 stylized type games the GBA had. It's cheap a $5 type title in the end so could be worth poking a stick at. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad little game, but nothing spectacular either. Still, it was well done and worthy of playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I brought this up before, and this one isn't 3D, but Road Trip (aka Choro Q) is def one of the more worthwhile racing gems on GBA, for how quirky it is, the customizable vehicles, and how you can even fly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I gave this one a go sometime ago. I wasn't really too impressive. Still, hey, not all games can be for everyone and there are plenty of other racers I enjoy and still many more yet to play. However, I really do appreciate the looks and/or recommendations all the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricmastro Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I think I'll specify on a company this time around: Natsume. They're best known for Harvest Moon, but they also dabbled with putting out platformers and RPGs. Their Tail 'Gator and Amazing Penguin games are still some of the most well-done early games on the Game Boy system that still hold up and their Car Battle Joe game they published on GBA is an interesting take on the RPG, using cars to hunt down other cars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I would add a game Mario karted Mario kart and was our first. Konami Krazy Racers. A fantastic game dish a lot of cups modes karts and hidden players too. Some crazy obvious and obscure mascots on that one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelboy Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) In case anyone's interested, Limited Run Games is releasing a colorized version of Trip World later this year. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/entertainment/news/game-boy-color-gets-rare-new-game-to-mark-25th-anniversary/ar-AA1a3e7o?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=d49fc1a14bc343f39dfd915c0301fd00&ei=4 I may actually place a pre-order for this one.

+atari2600land Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 How come there hasn't been any video games for the Game Boy I want on eBay lately? I scroll through all the crap and that's just what it is: either crap, a console I don't want, or a game I already have. I know, first world problems, but still. And it makes me wonder because there USED to be good Game Boy titles on eBay. I guess I bought them all? Anyway, I'm working on a new Game Boy game, Ran-over Possum Man! I have a link to it in my signature. Level 3 does nothing so far, so it freezes because I haven't got that far programming it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 This eBay listing claims that the Super Mario Land boxes with green screenshots are super rare. So I checked my Super Mario Land box, and they're green screenshots. Am I in possession of something valuable here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakogame 箱亀 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Hey, I just re-read through this entire topic and noticed that I had never suggested two amazing hidden gems on the gameboy: Momotaro Dengeki and Momotaro Dengeki 2 Also if you haven't played it yet, you need to give Cavenoire a try. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 @Hakogame 箱亀 Looks vaguely familiar, but at the same time not. Even the name has that been there before feel as it hit me at first as thinking about those peach boy momotaru densetsu games. The look has a feel of like those side scrolling monster land titles too but also the peachboys like that too. I think those could be worth a go if they have minimal/no language barrier. Cavenoire I've attempted to remember to try out for years, but roms tend to back seat to ownership. It was an interesting bit by Konami in the direction that went though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlidellMan Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Hey, this year marks the thirtieth anniversary of Link's Awakening. Still my favorite game in the series, though not without competition from Breath of the Wild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
