Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle 2
In Bugs Bunny Crzy Castle 2 the object of the game is to get throught the 30 levles by collecting the eight keys in each level. You can also find items and wepons. There are also in some of the levles, treasure chests and heavy weights that you can push on top of your enimies. I enjoy the game play even though it only consists of moving p, down, left or right and has no jumping. I choose this game over Bugs unny Crazy Castle 1 because of the graphics in this game. Your games can also be resumed by passwords.By Adam Back to the top

Donkey Kong Land The Donkey Kong Land game for GB is much like the game for Super Nintendo. I love the graphics in this game. The play control is also very good. You have all of the same moves as in the SNES games including DK's sumer-salt and diddy's kart-wheel. The only thing I didn't like about the games was that it can be hard to see on a regular GB. On the GBP this problem improves slighly but on GBC there is no problem at all. I love this game since I loved the SNES version, it's like taking it on the road with you with out any loss in graphics. I don't know how Rare did it but it sure is cool!By Anthony Back to the top

F-1 Race
What can I say, It's a clasic? This game is a pretty good one to add to your collection, if, that is you can find it in the store. One nice feature is the four player link up, made possible via the four player adapter included in the box. Of course you need three other friends with the same game and a link cable but aside from that it's pretty cool. Also I might add that you can also link up just to Game Boy'c using the regular Game Link Cable, or three by using the four player adapter. The play control in this game isn't the greatest because it's rather hrad to stay on the trck around a sharp cure. The nice features of this game include: Radar to see where you and you opponents are on the track, Turbo to get that extra boost and a speedometer to let you know just how fast you're going. Overall, it's a standard pice of software for you gaming needs.By Anthony Back to the top

Game & Watch Gallerary 2
I think this game is great! I have the new color version but I'm sure that the older one is just as good. You start out with five clasic games from Nintendo's old Game & Watch series. You can play the new versions of the games that, in the color pak anyway are in color and have great graphics and music. The clasic version is in that old Game & Watch LCD kind of display. It can sometimes be hard to see, and the lack of Famus Nintendo charectors makes you want to go back to the modern game. The clasics can be addictive though. The five games include Parachute, Chef, Helmet, Vermen, Donkey Kong and if you score high enough, a clasic version of ball (like the GameBoy Camera Game) followed by a modern version followed by another modern version, all of this of curse depends of if you score well in the other games. This game is really cool and highly addictive. By AnthonyBack to the top

Kirby's Dreamland
Kirby's Dream Land has five stages and five bosses. Stage one is called green greens. There Kirby has to get through a dangeres forest filled with enimies. At the end of the stage come the boss, Wispy Woods, a tree with a bad aditude. The comes stage two, Castle lololo where you will face the two rulers of the castle, lololo and lalala. Then you'll go from te castle to stage thre called float islands. There you will face the stage three boss kaboola. Next comes stage four with it's boss kraco. Finally you're off to stage five where you will find king dedede and mini wordl of all of the stages where you will have to fight the same bosses all over again! Aftr you've compleated that task you're on to king dedede. Endless continues here, somtimes makes this game a breeze but it can still be hard and frusterating. Once you've nailed down how to get past the bosses it's pretty easy. ,I recomend this game almost a must play! for experianced and unexperiace gamer's alike. By Adam Back to the top

Kirbys Pinball Land
This game is a really fun high scoring arcade kind of game. It has all of the charectors fromKirby Dreamland Packed into it. I love to play this game when I want to sit down and play for a while. This game is a great escape and is one of those games you just can't put down! By AnthonyBack to the top

NFL Blitz
NFL Blitz is a conversion fron an N64 game whitch was a conversion of an arcade game. In translation? Smaller screen, smaller player's and sprites instead of polygonal figures. It really is a good game. It's nice to be able to take the power and excitement of a football game on the road instead of having to play it only at home. One of the major changes in NFL Blitz compared with a conventional football game is that you must gain 30 yard to get a 1st down. Offence is hard and it most of the time you end up passing. Defende is even harder because you must beat the computer to the end zone and hope you can stop them before they rack up yet another touch down.

The game is hard but after awhile you get the hang of it. It's password save so you can play a whole season. It's also GameBoy Printer compatable so you can print out passwords and game stats.

Since this game is fully lisinced by the NFL, you get the real team colors with is something that really only works well on GBC. Along with that, you end up with all of the real NFL teams and the names of their players. While NFL Blitz doesn't boast the most intense graphics, it's a nice game and the colors and crisp and clear. The music and sound effects aren't that great but, overall, it really is a great game... No rules... no refs... no mercy! By AnthonyBack to the top

Marble Madness
Marble Madness has five levels. In the begining of your game you can pick what degree of turning you want to take, either 45 or 90. 90 allows you a little tighter handling for you marble. You can also link up with a friend, the first one to reach the goal wins. In one player mode you're on a timer and it's a race against the clock to get to the goal! Your lives aren't numbered in this game so the game is over when you run out of to or reach the goal and get into the hall of high rollers. By AdamBack to the top

Pokemon
I don't think I could beleave it if you haven't heard of this game. Everybody has. You could search the world and still find a 2 year old kid that would walk up to you and say, "Pokemon!" As true as that may be, there really are still people out there that haven't played or even bought the game. How do I know this? Because even I was missing out on the Pokemon thrill until a few weeks ago. So perhaps you're like me, you've been putting it off for a long time and even thought it seems like a stupid question to ask, you want to know what this game is all about. Or maybe you own it already and you just want to get an opinion on in. Well, in any case, I'm going to try to give a review of this game.

You start out in your house over buy you're SNES on the floor. You go down stairs and you Mother says something to you about it being time for you to leave home. Well, I have to tell you that I was so mad at her for taking that tone with me, I left my home town and never looded back. Of course I'll be going back there soon because I hear you can get a map of the enitire game there. Anyway, before you leave, you'll meet Professor Oak. He'll bring you back to his lab and let you chose from three Pokemon. Bulbesaur, Charmander or Squirtle. Then you are on your way off into the HUGE game. So before we go any further, lets talk about the game.

Before you begin to play, you need to enter you're name. You can chose from the names given, or you can make your own. You also have an opertunity to name you Pokemon what ever you want. By the way, you can make the charecter's name up to 10 letters long. Then you neeed to name your revial. I named mine after my brother. You can name him whatever you want. This will get you started on your way to becoming a Pokemaster. You may have heard a lot about this game being held back for release in this country. It was, for three years. Although in th US, we might have a better version since they sdded things like improved frame rates, different Pokemon names and a feature that allows everything to be blue in the blue version and red in the red version, if you a have a GBC.

Well, I don't want this review to drag on too long so let me just finish this up. This is a great RPG that you can really get into by capturing these cute little creatures. You can train them, fight them and trade them with you're friends who have the game, and a link cable. In fact, you will have to trade with someone that has a differant version if you want to catch all 151. Ther are only 130 on each game pak, although I think I heard someone say there were 140. At any rate, all of that trading is just part of the fun. Plus you can fight with the link cable too.

The bottom line with this game is that if you're looking for a very good RPG and something that will really hold your attention, then this is the game for you. The size of this game, and the seemingly endless playablility makes it great for long trips, long waits, or even use at home. The music is great, the graphics are good, and perhaps the best part of all, you get to become the best Pokemon trainer it the world. Now at last, you will know what everyone is talking about, when they're talking about Pokemon. By AnthonyBack to the top

Star Wars
You're Luke Skywalker and you're trying to safely get to Alderan. You start out in Luke's landspeeder navigating through Tatooine to find anyone who can help you, such as R2-D2, Ben Konobe and Han Solo and power ups. The game consists of levles that start from tatooine to Mos Eisly st. to docking bay 94. Upon coming up on Alderan you find that it's been totaly blown away and you must navigate through the astroid field. When you get out you find out "that's no moon... it's a SPACE STATION!." Once inside the death star you'll find is very hard to get throgh all of the elivaters. After all of that you rescue Princess Leia and discover an "interesting smell" in the garbage chute and must fight the garbage monstar. Escape the dreaded Death star and fight the tie fighters. Then you come back in the X-wings to blow up the death star. It's a fun and challenging game that gives you three lives and nine continues. So be careful out there... and let the force be with you.

Super Mario Land
This is the clasic game of mario. In this first game in the series the graphics aren't the best but the game really is fun. There is much to say about it, it's a lot like any other mario game. You also get to ide in a submarine and an airplane. Cool game and and good one to have in any GB collection. By Anthony Back to the top

Tetris DX
This is the regular game of tetris with a couple of new perks, the most obvius being color. The color is great, but even if you don't have a GBC you enjoy the improved game play that comes along with it. It's also nice to have all of you're line records saved in the memory and be able to have up to three other people's names included in the preprogramed list. It's also nice two play against the computer as you would another player, you can even play against the computer imitatin the way you play! You can also link up with a friend, play 40 line mode where you have to get 40 lines in the smallest amount of time you can and three minute mode where you have to get ans many lines as you get in just three minutes! The old tetris music is alsoGONE! but the new music is really great! You can't also no twist the tetrads into really tight spaces and drop fast than before. This game is great and is a must have if you have GBC or and older Game Boy. By Anthony Back to the top

Top Gear Pocket
To start things off let me just say that if you're looking for an end all polygonal racing game on your GBC this is not it. So if you are going to continue with this review, get of all the hype you've been hearing out of your head.

Okay, now that I have brain washed you, the idea running through your head should be of all the old racing games you used to seeing on GameBoy. Now you pop in your brand new Top Gear game pak. You turn it on and the colorful GBC logo, rushes across the screen. The first thing you'll notice about this game is the crisp and clear menu that greets you in the begining. Once you get going you can select from two cars and three tracks. You also have the option of a manuel or automatic transmission.

Now that you're on the track you see the traditional Top Gear starting lights, just like the ones in Top Gear Rallu for th N64. After you're clear of the starting track you'll start picking up speed on the straight away. And most likely you will be surprised as you fly over your first hill, something that is very rare in a GameBoy game. If you try to tun to quickly, you also get a nice little shock from the rumble feature.

Like I said before, if you're looking for some game that will blow you away you may not find it. But if you buy this game, thinking that you're only getting a GameBoy racer then you will be truly happy. The graphics ar very good and it is so much faster and smoother than must GB racers. The sound isn't too bad although the engine sounds are no where nearly as good as Nintendo and Kemco had claimed. There isn't any music however, which seems a little strange at first, but you end up having so much fun that you don't really care.

This game is a lot bigger than I though it was. You only start out with two cars and three tracks but as soon as you win in the top three slots in the championship mode, you advance to a world of huge and chalenging courses. These include a grasslands, dessert, jungle, savana, night town and ruins course. There are more, but they are meant to be a surprise.

Some of the best things about this game are the crisp cool graphics, giant hills, high speed action, rumbling, flying through the air and the two player link up feature. Some things that I hate are the password save, no music and the hype about engine sounds that is really just a bunch of whining.

Overall, this racing game is like a cross between and SNES and GB racing game and is definatly worth the $25 (US) I paid for it. Back to the top
