Hi! I’m a Game Boy collector / enthusiast / reviewer. And this question has an easy answer in my opinion…

Catrap

• It’s relaxing. It’s a turn based, pure puzzle game. Like, there’s literally no action. The enemies don’t even move!
• It’s big. 100 puzzles that slowly increase in difficulty. I was able to beat them all, over time.
• It’s non-punishing. No time limits. No lives.
• No stress. Catrap was the first(?) game to feature an undo button. Try something out. Didn’t work? Just hold B to undo. You can undo all the way back to the start of the stage, as many time as you want.
• It’s simple. Up, down, left, and right to move. B to undo. I think A is introduced later to swap between characters?
• IT’S FUN. It looks good, plays good, and just feels good to jump around the stage. And completing a stage is so satisfying.

I hope you like it! 🙂

Yes! As a primarily Game Boy gamer in my youth Max Payne was the only M rated game I ever got. And I played through the whole thing, great game. 🙂

Nowadays I also have the only rated M game for the to final Game Boy, Mortal Kombat 3. 😆

Heyyy I just picked up a copy of Iridion 3D! I haven’t played it much yet but love the 3D effect. Kind of a Starfox style shooter.

If I had to pick one game from your pile to pick up and play right now it’d probably be Sonic Advance. I played and re-played that game a TON, although I never actually beat it.

Which is your favorite?
