Boyographic - Revenge of the Gator Game Boy Review

[@rssbrry]

Revenge of the Gator and Kirby's Pinball Land are easily in my top 10 GB games. They are, in my opinion, the best pinball experiences on the system. Great video!

[@GameBoyle]

Cheers :) Even though there’s only a second or two of (strangely shakey...) Kirby’s Pinball footage in the video, I can’t wait to play through that game again, so expect to see it on the channel soon ;)

[@jcawthon99]

Good to find a good gameboy channel! Just picked this one up for $1 w/t manual at a yard sale!

[@GameBoyle]

Niiiice! Thanks for watching!

[@leestevenson80]

I adore this game. It encompasses the spirit of the G.B. Great to have you back dude 👍

[@GameBoyle]

Cheers Lee - Sorry for the late reply on this, the new YT studio is surfacing the comments I didn't reply to, so I'm working through them atm hah!

[@rickmartinez3268]

This is My favorite pinball video game

[@RewindVideoz]

He has risen!!! Welcome back!!!

[@GameBoyle]

I think there's a wonderful irony in me replying to this 9 months later, but thank you haha!

[@RewindVideoz]

@@GameBoyle It's ok I've been responding to 10 year old comments on my page lmao shockingly I've gotten some replies from them Haha 🤣

[@GameBoyle]

@@RewindVideoz I honestly think I'd replied to everything at a certain point but nope, the new Studio view of 'show unanswered comment's has proven me super wrong lol... It's a full day's work, but I'm gonna get there...

[@ArneZiegfeld]

The kind of content I'll gladly wait for for several months, if I have to. :-)

[@GameBoyle]

Haha cheers Arne! Hopefully it won’t come to that again, but let’s see ;) Thanks for watching!

[@ShinoSarna]

I'm glad you're back! Love this episode, charm of this game really reminds me of Pokemon Pinball.

[@GameBoyle]

It’s certainly up there with Pokémon Pinball for best Pinball game on the system, though if you’ve not checked out Kirby’s Pinball Land, be sure to do so! Thanks for the kind words and for watching!

[@metalvinnie]

Oh yeah! Great to see another Boyographic! Video pinball games are my kind of games. All the way from 'Pinball' on the NES to modern day 'Pinball FX'. Metroid Prime Pinball on the DS is very noteworthy if you never had a chance to play it. Cool video, bro.

[@GameBoyle]

Cheers Vinnie! I actually got Metroid Pinball in a secret Santa last year! It’s a great game for sure!

[@heyhonpuds]

Ooh, good to see you’re uploading again. Good video, even though I’m not fond of this game and I like video pinball. It’s always confused me why this game seems so universally loved.

[@GameBoyle]

I’m kinda with you Heyhon - I like the game a lot, but with Kirby’s Pinball Land improving upon this game so much, I’m also a little surprised at how much love this gets! I think it’s a lot of nostalgia to be honest, I mean I like Gremlins 2 for that same reason and that’s terrible haha! Thanks for watching!

[@heyhonpuds]

That’s not a bad point. I got a Gameboy in ‘92 when I was 10, but I never played Revenge Of The Gator till about 6 years ago. My crap nostalgic game of choice is Bart Vs. The Space Mutants for NES. I know it has an awful control system, but I played and completed it a lot as a kid and I still enjoy it to this day, even if I know in my heart of hearts that it’s not good.

[@idxman01]

Nah, it’s just good, no nostalgia required.. Played it for the first time in 2022. I’ll probably also look for Kirby pinball at some point too.

[@idxman01]

I received this cart today and am extremely impressed. I’d give Pinball Dreams an edge on music, but the gameplay, ball physics, sharp screens and damn cute gators are rock solid here.

[@Judex1963]

Hello Gameboyle I just wanted to slip a request for Magical Chase on the GBC. Thanks for the quality GB content, cheers.

[@GameBoyle]

It might make an appearance as part of 'Shmup-tember' Paula, keep your eyes pealed ;) Thanks for watching and sorry about the late reply!

[@jeanvaljean1175]

a very good game and best pinball on gameboy

[@Pridetoons]

About time you posted a new video!

[@GameBoyle]

Haha for sure ;)! Cheers for being there when I did sir!

[@theflyingninja1]

Oh so glad you're back! I was genuinely worried you'd given up on your channel. On that note, I wouldn't mind a review of Moomins Tale at some point 😁

[@GameBoyle]

It’s on the list still dude, don’t worry ;) Also my Japanese is a little better now, so I might even have a slight clue as to what’s going on ;)!

[@theflyingninja1]

@@GameBoyle Don't blame you for not wanting to play the absolutely castrated European version.

[@Shambles11]

Good to have you back buddy!

[@GameBoyle]

Cheers Si, sorry it took so long ;)!

[@DenniselAzul]

Welcome back! I'm not very into Pinball games, but I remember this one from bootleg cartbridges.

[@GameBoyle]

Thanks Dennis! And it’s a pretty small game - I think it’s only like 500kbs, so it’s perfect for padding out multi-carts haha!

[@tootyuk]

Good to see you back Matt, great vid as per mate

[@GameBoyle]

Cheers Tooty, glad to be back! I have to admit my viewing on here’s been limited since I went on hiatus (I felt guilty seeing the comments rack up!), but hope you’ve been doing well! Expect to see me lurking in your comments again soon ;)

[@BluesMouse]

Good to have you back!

[@GameBoyle]

Cheers blue Mouse, hopefully you didn't miss me too much again after this! Sorry for the late reply!

[@frumpplays2463]

Glad to see you back!

[@GameBoyle]

Thanks Frump, sorry for taking so long to reply!

[@bjornh1527]

I´ve always liked the aesthetics of Revenge of the Gator, the reptiles are so charming!

[@GameBoyle]

Me too Björn, it's a classic for sure! Thanks for watching and sorry for the late reply!

[@maxkopfraumpoops]

I love the music and art style of this game. I wish you would have made a talking pause when you talked about the music so that we could have listened to the songs.

[@GameBoyle]

I used to do that a lot on the outros Max but people complained - now I just like to leave the soundtracks be, but I'll keep it in mind ;) Sorry about the late reply and thanks for watching!

[@maxkopfraumpoops]

@@GameBoyle those people are idiots ;) we come here to enjoy Game Boy magic and the music is part of the charm.

[@maxcrazy]

Nice review! I played it multiplayer a few months ago, pretty funny even now a days.

[@GameBoyle]

Thanks Max, it's a great game for sure! Thanks for watching and sorry for the late reply!

[@rickmartinez3268]

This game is my childhood

[@interghost]

Another good episode dude. The game looks ok. Would be one I might have picked up and played in the car as a kid. Short and easy to play. Other than that I feel the one table would soon had got boring fast. But as you say, an early pinball game. Cool stuff thanks ;)

[@GameBoyle]

To be honest, I’m really into the idea of playing some more of the multiplayer - it’s surprisingly fun! As someone else mentioned in the comments, I had it on a couple of multicarts over the years so it is fun in short bursts! That said, if you’re going to get any Pinball game for the Game Boy, it’s gotta be Kirby’s Pinball Land... I’ve not played all the Japanese Pinball releases, but for my money that’s the best one that game out in the West! Cheers as always dude for the kind words and for watching!

[@SandroSensei]

Hi Mat. I think you have a wonderous channel here and you deserve a lot more subscribers. Will you still make reviews please? Mabye every 3ds virtual console gameboy game? Double dragon series retrospective for gameboy? Are you gonna buy that new gameboy console release, I forgot the companys name. Its a console which plays every gameboy cart (gbc and advance) backlit and the console looks great. Sorry but forgot the name. Will you buy it?

[@GameBoyle]

Hey Sandro, I've been thinking about branching out a bit, but I think I'd like to keep this channel GB only still - there's a lot of cool homebrew and hardware things in the work so I will start reviewing 'new' stuff, but not other games I think. Yeah, I'm hoping to pick up an Analog Pocket because I think it will ease my video making process a little! Let's see what the future holds :) Thanks as always for the support!

[@hdofu]

This game on the Gameboy was my childhood gateway into virtual pinball and pinball in general, I still go back to this game from time to time, this game is still fun today and you can see it inspiring heavily their later Kirby Pinball Land another great pinball title, I always found it fascinating however just how bad arcade virtual pinball games were, considering their competing with not only home games and physical games but with the game boy on the scene even that which offers arguably an even better experience to other vpinball games of the time.

[@gaspardsavoureux8680]

This game has been gathering dust at a local game store for a while now...

[@GameBoyle]

Sounds to me like it’s time to go save it from dusty obscurity! Thanks for watching :)

[@GermanGarageGames]

Always loved the boxart of this one :D

[@GameBoyle]

Me too Dennis... I'm kinda making it a point to get the HAL games CIB because the artwork's gorgeous (sorry for the late reply)!

[@andrescarredondo460]

Matthew, hope you are well good sir!

[@EC-tn9jt]

Hey Mat, are we going to get a Christmas special? Or will Japanuary happen next month?? Either way looking forward to your next vid! Have a great Christmas :-)

[@GameBoyle]

Thanks EC! I ended up getting super busy with work and needed to take a break from all things 'extracurricular' for a while - rest assured, if all goes according to plan, both will return ;) Thanks for the comment and sorry for the late reply - I hope you had a great Christmas and are doing well in the new weird we currently inhabit!

[@swissoccer]

Would be very happy to see a video about Kirby's Pinball Land :-)

[@GameBoyle]

It'll happen Lee, don't worry! Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!

[@MakoyUnggoy]

This isn't a bad little game for what it was at the time, I had to buy it just for the nostalgia as a lot I've had to buy again!

[@GameBoyle]

Fortunately my GB collection is still in one piece, I wish the same could be said for our NES / SNES collection though >.< Thanks for watching Makoy!

[@ethelchip3620]

I love this game. It really is impressively fun considering how old it is. Same goes for nes pinball. I didn't realize this has multiplayer, I'm gonna have to try that out. Also rollerball looks cool, hadn't heard of that. Alligators need more video game representation.

[@GameBoyle]

Haha well the Game Boy’s got some pretty good Aligator representation between this and Tail Gator at least! Check out the multiplayer, it’s a fun concept I’ve not seen before! Thanks for the kind words and for watching!

[@EC-tn9jt]

Mat! Can you please give us a Corona special???? Would be greatly appreciated! Running low on re-runs

[@GameBoyle]

You asked E C and I have delivered ;) Thanks for watching!

Is everything okay friend??? You haven't made a new video in a long time.

[@GameBoyle]

I'm all good thanks buddy, in fact, I just posted a new episode ;)

[@jayhollow2936]

Hey my friend!! Are you okay? You haven't made a video in a while.

[@GameBoyle]

As you've since seen Jay, I'm ok thanks! Cheers for the concern and I hope you're doing ok in these weird times!

[@rickmartinez3268]

I seen this video three times

[@HometownUnicorn]

@GameBoyle what's has happened to you? Where are u? Are u ok?

[@GameBoyle]

I'm all good don't worry, it's just been a very busy time AFK and the current state of the world has been eating up any spare energy... Fortunately though, I'm powering through like everyone else, so expect more videos in the future ;)
