It's fun to see what notes people left when buying a used copy. 😄

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??

@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. 😊

In stage 3 you have to use missiles to take down a giant mech destroying your base. Screenshots don't do the wireframe graphics justice. 😭

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. 🤩

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. 😆😆😆

I LOVE TCRF! ❤️

I actually posted this recently, it made me finally understand why the hippo was so weird in Link's Awakening. 🤯

Haha It's true! 😊 The Game Boy has two programmable "palettes" which are assigned to a sprite, and color #0 is transparent.

But that doesn't stop amazing design. Look at these coins in Wario Land. They have all four colors in them...

The naked hippo lady in Link's Awakening is pretty interesting. 😅

Knowing this explains why her dialog in the US version is so strange.

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

The new monster hunter looks really good.

OMG IS THAT BATMAN POWERING UP??? 😆😂

Added two inexpensive boxed games to my collection, in my effort to create that "Electronics Boutique" shelf at home. 🥰

Revenge of the Gator Pinball and Play Action Football, both for #gameboy.

I got a boxed copy of Klax (JPN) for #gameboy at Retro World Expo for 2 DOLLARS. 😭

And the weirdest thing is it's a 100% unique reimplementation compared to the US release! 🤯

...done!

Man, Streets of Rage 2 was a lot harder than I was expecting, and I was on easy mode! 😱

I think I'd enjoy it more if I understood the controls better or was better at the game. But for now TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist is still #1 for me. 😊

Classic #gameboy games like Serpent 🐍had a way of taking an idea that's been done to death and adding just enough extras, stages, and charm (and link cable support!) to make it feel truly special. 😊

I HAD to look this up... 😅 Looks like it was a really clever way to translate her name from the original Breath of Fire II. 🤯

Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge for #gameboy!

Every MM GB game is different from its NES counterpart (some VERY different). If you're a fan of the series and haven't played them I recommend it! There's even colorized romhacks if that's your thing. 🙂

I got a copy of Amazing Penguin for #gameboy at Retro World Expo 25! I've wanted this game for a while. I consider it one of the original classics for the system. And it has simple, fun gameplay perfectly tailored to the Game Boy. 🙂

...follow-up post! 🤩

@sega-16.bsky.social I just got a #Sega #Genesis MK-1627 6 button arcade stick and it is a LIFE CHANGER. 🤯🤯🤯

Seriously, I was having so much fun in Ms. Pac-Man, I was unstoppable! Not a single missed controller input. 😌
