I was ten years old back in 1998, and Nintendo released the Game Boy Color. There was already so much love for the Game Boy back in those days, but the Game Boy could only take the imagination so far. Limited to just four colors in varying shades of olive and black, games were still playable, but they had no real sense of visuals. When compared to games on the SNES, the games had to stand out on gameplay or else face the possibility of extinction. (Which I suppose was a good thing in many ways, but nevertheless). But the Game Boy Color was a ten year old’s dream. Now you could play in color… in the palm of your hand!
Ever play a game a game only to discover at some point it transforms into a horror game? No? Well Netto's Game Room shares six games that do just that!
Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.
Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.
I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.
Here's how to get a new fan made PC port of Nintendo classic Link's Awakening running on Valve's Steam Deck.
The average cost of Game Boy games has been steadily rising for years. If you look at the overall price growth, which has doubled within the last five years, then it should be pretty clear Game Boy game prices are following the trend of increasing retro video game prices.
You would have to be crazy to keep a Pokemon game in the box after getting it as a kid, though.
I still have my Final Fantasy Adventure and Zelda: Link's Awakening, but loose. I haven't had the box in... I don't know, a couple decades?
A wonderful article for 2 of my favorite games: Ocarina and Links Awakening.
I stil remember myself playing Links Awakening on gameboy color without light screen. It was hard but the game was just amazing!
My favorite is The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
My favourite Zelda - either WW or ALTTP (probably). Most unappreciated Zelda - SS. MY least favourite Zelda - while stilling being a very good game in its own right - TP. As a series of games - both console AND handheld - absolutely astonishing quality and variety.
