Everything looked so good until I saw the player ship movement and was so disappointed! ๐ The ship bounces around the screen at twitchy speeds, completely ruining the look and feel of the game.

I don't know if this is it but, what you describe is called "imposter syndrome", if that helps. ๐
It sounds similar to one of my favorite commands! vidir ๐
Hi! I'm a Game Boy collector / enthusiast / reviewer. And this question has an easy answer in my opinion...
Catrap
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfV4MnGfiA4&t=284
- 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! ๐
higher prices
I'm heavily into Game Boy collecting. I just checked their online prices. They might be the cheapest I've seen, in general. For example Pokรฉmon Blue is lower than the common price I've seen online (especially considering usual shipping and fees), but not low enough people will buy them up and re-sell them.
No promises it'll stay that way, but they're very competitive for now.
What a great article!!
So, I'm a huge Game Boy fan. I'd heard about how good Puyo Puyo is, so I got a Japanese copy of Puyo Puyo Tsu. From what I can tell it's a great port. But I struggled so much getting into it! And then I read your comment...
Puyo Puyo Tsu is hard. Itโs really damn hard. Iโve witnessed many new players struggle with even basic 3- and 4-chains, nevermind making the real big chains the game mode demands of you. And unlike Tetris where casual players do not need to know fancy T-Spin setups just to get started and play, you really canโt get far at all in Puyo Puyo Tsu without at least some understanding of chaining fundamentals.
...and I feel justified. ๐ What do you recommend is a good way for a new player to get into the game? Something to read, a video, or something else?
๐ The phone call was just to get some simple bonus tips, nothing really necessary.
What killed me was, to swap items, you hold Select and use the arrow keys. It's soooo unintuitive!
That was an outstanding write-up!
the difficult game of Fester's Quest on NES
Fun fact, the European release is vastly easier due to the simple fact that you can shoot through walls!
All enemies and bosses take less hits for them to be killed. The projectiles fired from the gun can go through walls and obstacles.

It still makes me angry for what we got in the US! ๐ค๐
On the Game Boy Advance, there's Punch King...

...and Wade Hixton's Counter Punch.

I haven't played either of them, so no promises that they're good!
It looks great! ๐
OMG I just came home with a Sanyo DS13320 from the side of the road and I am ECSTATIC!!! It couldn't be more perfect for an NES, and it looks in great condition externally.
I haven't plugged it in yet. It doesn't appear to be wet anywhere outside or inside, so hopefully it was put outside after it rained this morning.
Should I do or check anything before plugging it in and trying to power it on?
It's just index cards cut up and written on with a Sharpie. But it really makes things easier to find. :)
I'd never even seen this game before! Zelda 2 is my very favorite Zelda game to re-play, and I saw this mentioned in a list of games similar to it.
The game bounces back and forth between a Zelda style top down action exploration game and an auto scrolling shoot 'em up. Both are great and a lot of fun. The music is good, the graphics are great, the game is hard but fair (so far), the main character is flippin awesome, a cyborg who transforms into a spaceship. There's tons of weapons and rooms to explore.
The biggest drawback is the password system is atrocious, but hey, we have save states nowadays.
Did anyone here play this a lot growing up? Can you beat it?

But seriously, here's my recommendations.
Doom Eternal, commonly on sale for under $10. I only play the single player campaign. I've played through this game well over a dozen times and I love every minute of it. I can't get enough of it.
Cave Noire, for Game Boy, only released in Japan. It's a turn based, randomly generated roguelite, played in bite sized dungeon challenges. I never knew a turn based game could get my heart pumping so hard! Every time I finish a stage it feels so good and is so fun I need to stop and tell someone about it. ๐
