Wario Land II is done.

I forgot how crazy long that game is for a Game Boy Color game, and the arthritis in my left hand has been flaring pretty bad lately so I haven't been able to spend as much time playing games on handhelds as I'd like. I'm hoping to finish Tomb Raider at some point over the next week though! ]]> How Many Game Boy Color Games Can NA Beat In 2018? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=182517 2018-07-16T20:14:58 -05.00 Jin 35 How Many Game Boy Color Games Can NA Beat In 2018? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=182517 2018-07-16T19:37:25 -05.00 Jin 35 Pong: The Next Level is done!

I rang the bell on each activity. I tried to capture the fireworks in the screenshot but I guess I missed it.

Yeah that's right, I actually own Elmo's ABCs. I saw it and couldn't resist.

Next up for me is going to be either Tomb Raider or Resident Evil: Gaiden. They're both right up there with Project S-11 as some of my favorite games on the GBC so I haven't quite decided which to do first yet.

I don't own a physical cartridge of this game, but given how much I loved Woody Woodpecker Racing on the GBC and my fondness for the Woody Woodpecker cartoon series growing up I thought I'd give this game a try via emulation on the Wii. It ended up being a mixed bag, in that it wasn't really a bad game but I'm not sure it was a good game either. There's great sprite work and the levels and characters are all beautifully detailed, and I really liked the little minigames that add variety between platforming levels, but the overall experience is a hampered by floaty controls, input lag when attacking, and poor enemy placement that often forces you to take damage in order to proceed. On the flip side, it's a pretty darn long game with probably a couple dozen challenging maze-like platforming levels, three boss fights, password saves between levels, a cute story, and a charming homage to Super Mario Land at the end.  

If you like the Woody Woodpecker cartoon then you'll probably get a good bit of enjoyment out of this game, but for those who aren't fans of Woody and company there are better platformers out there for the Game Boy Color.

If you would of told me that you pulled your GBC out of the box and swapped buttons 5 minutes ago, I would have believed you. It’s in that great shape.

If you flip it over and look at the back you can tell it's seen some use, since the barcode sticker has gotten a bit discolored over time and a little wrinkle has formed in the label sticker, but I don't mind since that just means I've been putting the system to good use. As much as I do try to keep my games and consoles clean and pretty, at the end of the day they are toys and toys were made to be played with.
