Ugh. ANY enemy that gets all up in your business like that until you DIE has no place in video games. They're just not fun!

My hot take is I dislike the AVGN videos... ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ˜…

Yeah, the first TMNT Game Boy game is one of my favorite games to play!

...and what is extra weird is that the song One Jump is actually in the Game Boy game but only used in later stages. ๐Ÿค”

I FINALLY HAVE AN ANSWER! ๐Ÿคฉ

Aladdin for #gameboy stage 1 uses the song from the Genesis prototype stage 2!

Which was cut and then repurposed for The Jungle Book stage 3!

...no, Quick Boomerang doesn't count, because it doesn't have logic to return to Mega Man's current location... ๐Ÿค”

Wait, are there any #gameboy games with boomerangs??? ๐Ÿง

All I can think of is Link's Awakening, and that's a hidden optional item that is so overpowered it practically breaks the game...

Maybe Quick Man's weapon in Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge?

Boomerages are seriously underrepresented on the GB!

That's Pokรฉmon Gold, right? It's fully playable in grayscale on an original Game Boy. ๐Ÿ™‚

Metroid II for #gameboy.

I was obsessed with this game. It was the reason I wanted to become a programmer and make games myself.

Here is my playthrough of the colorized romhack, but my favorite of ANY version (DS, PC...) is the original grayscale. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

It's a good game, but the ONLY way I ever saw the final stage was with a Game Genie. ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

I highly recommend the multiplayer mode too, it's really fun! ๐Ÿ˜Š

I played it recently to see if it was really as bad as I remembered.

It was BAD. ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

I hate how addicting and GOOD this game is. It's such a simple concept, WHY IS IT SO MUCH FUN??? ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜†

In many ways the challenge and difficulty curve makes it even more fun to re-play than its sequel. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I agree! Also I realized recently... The stage 1 music is a new song made for this game? It's not the song from the Genesis game or the film... Kinda random. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

Woah, this game was definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. ๐Ÿ™‚ I bought it back when it came out and have played through it soooo many times. It's a nice, simple, short, and relatively easy game, and it's infinitely better that Space Cadet Adventures... ๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜…

Oh wow there's a hot take! ๐Ÿ˜„ I bought this back when it came out and have enjoyed playing through it multiple times. ๐Ÿ˜Š

It did always make me laugh that the Nintendo Game Boy got the Sega Genesis version of the game. ๐Ÿคญ

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...???โ€œ ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

IT'S SO BAD. ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

@historyofhyrule.com Hi! I was talking recently about that thing Zelda 1 for NES where if you kill the secret "leader" in a room then all other enemies instantly die too, but I can't find where I learned that! Do you know where? I could've sworn it was the instruction manual... ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

29.10.2025 14:58 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I could've sworn it was in the instruction manual but I can't find it... ๐Ÿค”

Anyway the idea was that sometimes a screen will have a "leader", and if you get lucky and kill it all the other enemies on screen disappear.
