These games are so great! There's traditional but polished (Fortune & Glory) CRAZY combinations. Snake + Tetris (OrmBlok). Breakout + Conway (Game of Life Kuzushi) Addictive arcade action (DropBlox!) And THEY DID THAT IN ASSMBLY??? (Potion Panic) 😆 I highly recommend trying all five games! 😊

The Zelda II Remade soundtrack by @isabellechiming.bsky.social. That overworld song... 🤩🤤 isabellechiming.bandcamp.com/album/zelda-... Oh and black coffee. 😅

I had a lot of fun participating in 2022! 😄 "Captain Neat-o in Treasure Maze" is probably the most fun game I've ever made, and I still enjoy playing it today! 😊 drcouzelis.itch.io/captain-neat... And yes, it's hosted by THAT Tom Hall. 😉 #pico8 #gamejam

Short answer: Midna ❤️ Long answer: I love the way the game flows from one scene to the next. It makes me not want to put it down!

If you gave me Emerald Hill Zone and told me it was the only video game I could play for the rest of my life I wouldn't even be mad. No, not Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I mean JUST stage 1. It's THAT good! 👈😌

...I guess I have a lot of opinions about video game music. 😅

The Sega Genesis has incredible music, but with a few terrible soundtracks in very popular games. 😤

The crushed sound samples of the SNES and GBA don't sound nearly as good as the sound output of the Game Boy! 😤

The Super Mario and Legend of Zelda games sounded way better before they switched to recorded orchestral soundtracks. 😤

Taiyou no Tenshi Marlow for #gameboy is one of the best looking, most unique action puzzle games for the console. Help the naked flying baby save his girlfriend using the power of the sun to grow flowers! Watch out for girls on roller skates dropping bombs. It's pretty fun. 🙂 youtu.be/_cToWfDskHM

😟 I first learned about her from the (really fun!) video game documentary "High Score" (2020). That list of game credits... 🤯🤯🤯 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

I love the way they remixed the SMB2 music into every episode! ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b1l...

I stand by my opinion that "Jurassic Park 2: The Chaos Continues" for #gameboy is the BEST #jurassicpark game of the 90s (and there was a LOT of them). It's just pure run and jump fun! 😄🦖 youtu.be/bzsop-xIEnE

...or as the #gameboy port is called, Adventure Island II. 😄 I did a video review a while back. It really is a well made, solid sidescroller! And I LOVE the art direction. It's so crisp and clear even on the original Game Boy. 😌 youtu.be/1jnJdM__6oc

Some fun facts about the InfoGenius Productivity Pak: Personal Organizer for #gameboy: You have to set the day and time EVERY TIME you turn it on. It won't even remember it from the last time you turned it on. 😬

Great review! 🙂 Is Mega Man II for #gameboy the best of the five games? No. 🤔 Is it an above average platformer for the system? Yes! And is absolutely worth playing by fans of the series. 😌 Also where else can you see Mega Man fighting an EVIL FUTURE VERSION of himself on A frickin' POGO STICK??

PRO TIP: If you mess up the timing (like in this pic) then use the "Carry" item to save yourself! 🤓 Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge for #gameboy is one of my favorite games of all time. 😊

My favorite Game Boy Advance hidden gem: Prince of Persia: Sands of Time An all-original 2D metroidvania with great graphics, sound, and controls. 🤩 And cartridges are so inexpensive. #gba www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKTu...

I've played through The Legend of #Zelda: Ocarina of Time for #nintendo64 many, many times ever since it first came out in the 90s, and honestly... ...I never once thought Navi was annoying. 👀❓

@quest64official.bsky.social I just found my Feb 1999 copy of Nintendo Power at my mom's house and saw this. I had to take a pic for you, and anyone else needing answers. 😊

Just tried out Kid Dracula for #gameboy and it really is an incredibly polished platformed, and a lot of fun! 🤩 I was playing the English version on my EverDrive because I don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on a single cartridge. 😭 I do have a copy of the Japanese version though.

Because of this great review I finally tried out the #gameboy port of Joe & Mac and IT'S WAY BETTER THAN I EXPECTED! 🤯 It actually seems a little closer to the arcade version than the #snes port? I may have to get a copy. Worst part? Backgrounds are too dark and hard to see. 😑 But the BEST part...

I finally got a chance to play X / Ekkusu / Lunar Chase for the original #gameboy. You know, the 3D space game by Argonaut before they did #starfox. HOLY CRAP IT'S SO GOOD. 🤯🤯🤯 True 3D, no slow down, easy to see, great story, tons of action, cutscenes, strategy, weapons, driving AND flight...

FUN FACT: Your local public library TODAY lets you rent games too! For FREE! 🤩

I spent over an hour reading this thinking, man, this writer is using a LOT of words to not say a lot. But also it's kinda vague at the same time? But I love the Game Boy so I kept reading. On a whim decided to check it and, oh, it's AI generated. What a waste of my time. 😕

I love the #metroid series. I can't stand Zero Mission. The new ending is tacked on, not fun, and ruins the narrative. 🧐 The new graphics and sound poop all over the INCREDIBLE original visuals and atmosphere, turning it into a comic book. 😩 And JUSTIN BAILEY IS COOLER THAN ZERO SUIT SAMUS. 🤩

I FINALLY HAVE AN ANSWER! 🤩 Aladdin for #gameboy stage 1 uses the song from the Genesis prototype stage 2! Which was cut and then repurposed for The Jungle Book stage 3! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD2p...

Wait, are there any #gameboy games with boomerangs??? 🧐 All I can think of is Link's Awakening, and that's a hidden optional item that is so overpowered it practically breaks the game... Maybe Quick Man's weapon in Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge? Boomerages are seriously underrepresented on the GB!

Metroid II for #gameboy. I was obsessed with this game. It was the reason I wanted to become a programmer and make games myself. Here is my playthrough of the colorized romhack, but my favorite of ANY version (DS, PC...) is the original grayscale. 😎 youtu.be/7eYs-KTTiG4

Hermano by @patmorita.bsky.social is one of the BEST modern games for the #gameboy! 🤩

I intentionally bought a copy of Instruments of Chaos starring Young Indiana Jones for #sega #genesis just so I can pop it in, push the controller into a victim's hands, and watch them go "..........what...???“ 😈 IT'S SO BAD. 😆😆😆

@historyofhyrule.com Hi! I was talking recently about that thing Zelda 1 for NES where if you kill the secret "leader" in a room then all other enemies instantly die too, but I can't find where I learned that! Do you know where? I could've sworn it was the instruction manual... 🤔🤔🤔

I LOVE TCRF! ❤️ I actually posted this recently, it made me finally understand why the hippo was so weird in Link's Awakening. 🤯 tcrf.net/The_Legend_o...

The #playstation2 is the best selling video game console of all time and I just realized, I think literally the ONLY game I've ever really played on it was Katamari Damacy... 🤔

My friend Sam and I tried Little Samson for #nes not too long ago and I very quickly started freaking out over JUST HOW GOOD the game is! 😩

Is it cheating to use a turbo controller? 👀 #retrogaming

I really enjoyed playing WHERE DA JAM AT! 😄 I recommend it to anyone looking for a cute, relaxing 10 minute exploration game for #gameboy. ...we already chatted a bit on YouTube but I thought I'd mention it here to anyone looking on Bluesky too. 😊 www.youtube.com/watch?v=goBg...

I just beat Beyond Oasis for #sega #genesis and what an outstanding game! 🤩 It looks like a Zelda game, fights like an action game, has XP and items like an RPG, and has many unique and clever puzzles to solve. I agree with @sega-16.bsky.social it's a 9/10. www.sega-16.com/2004/10/beyo...

Great thread about retro game soundtracks! And many #nes games with that sweet, sweet Sunsoft Bass. 🤤 www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEgo...

The naked hippo lady in Link's Awakening is pretty interesting. 😅 Knowing this explains why her dialog in the US version is so strange. tcrf.net/The_Legend_o...

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for #gameboy is one of my FAVORITE games of all time. ❤️ What would I change... Remove some or all of the pits in the Tail Cave boss fight (waaaay too hard for stage 1). 🤔 And make clearing some boulders on the map permanent. 😌

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (sequel) release date in Japan: JANUARY 1987 The Legend of Zelda (original) release date in the US: AUGUST 1987 🤯 #nes #famicom

Dios mio I don't know if I've ever seen a game reviewer do THIS BAD before. 🤯 The screenshots are all from the first area... Yep, that's all they played. Didn't understand the fundamentals of the story or controls... Yep, didn't read the manual. Whatever. They still said it's great (probably). 🙄😆

I took this photo during my last playthrough, just after that scene ended. 😭

The new monster hunter looks really good.

If you ever thought to yourself, "I wish I had Sword of Vermilion but with 100% fewer random battles and in grayscale," look no further than... DragonHeart for #gameboy! 😎 youtu.be/BA0lNKSeBZc

> #gameboy dungeon crawlers Have you played Cave Noire? OMG YOU HAVE TO. It's a turn based, randomly generated, roguelite released only in Japan. It's playable by non-speakers, but also has an English patch. I grew up with GB, and after trying this game it's in my TOP 10 (5??) most fun. 🤯

Holy gameplay, Batman, this might be one of the very few games that made me wish I had a #snes instead of a #segagenesis. 🤯

👻😺🐭 youtu.be/5ws1tU0NijQ

I just gave The Adventures of Batman & Robin for Game Gear a try and this review is very accurate. 😳 There's a difference between a jump straight up, a running jump, and a jump straight up and THEN start running. Dios mio. 😵‍💫
