Classic Game Room - ALLEYWAY review for Game Boy

[@yukolos]

Hi from Greece!!! Cheers to Thanos (Athanasios) for this great game!

[@Diggy22]

Wow, Alleyway. This was the second Game Boy game I've ever owned.

[@Ub3rGoob3r]

OMG MARK! Here's a brilliant idea! That map you put the pin on, you should somehow backtrack all the donated games sent to you and put a pin for each one on the map! Your goal should be at least one game sent to you from each country across the world!

[@bmdposse]

Besides Tetris for the Gameboy, Alleyway is one of my best games to have on that long trip with the old gameboy. Thanks for the review.

[@whodatninja439]

I had this game holy crap! Nostalgic Game Room is more like it xD

[@Diggy22]

Wow, Alleyway. This was the second Game Boy game I've ever owned. I used to play that and Kid Icarus all the time when I was in elementary school.

[@awwrelic]

Just got this with a small bag of 4 GB and 4 GBA games at my local thrift for $4.50. As a big Breakout fan, I like this despite the lack of a proper control scheme.

[@thenoobgamer1033]

Stelios from Greece. Nice Video (as all of yours). And yes the pronanciation was perfect.

[@Ninten70]

I love the Movie Theatre Background on the Super Game Boy

[@DrPepperone]

Wow... Peroni referenced in a CGR review... I can die happy.

[@katakisLives]

First time I played this game type it was called "Fire Ball" and it was on the A3000 computer! had really good visuals probably the best looking breakout clone around!

[@dannyofthededd]

mario operating the arkanoid bat haha! he sure branched out from hammering,plumbing,karting,umpiring,disco dancing,being a doctor and promoting the use of hallucinagenic mushrooms..a man of many talents indeed

[@dannyjamesband]

WHEN DID HE DANCE?

[@Zelfma]

Looking back now, (and it was a favorite of mine) I didn't realize the lack of music nor that there were only 3 angles. I thought it was a little more complicated than that. Getting all of the bonus bricks from those levels were always pretty difficult.

[@Zelfma]

2 angles

[@Shulamana]

The sound when the ball hits the blocks reminds me of Hydlide.

[@HerrFinsternis]

Love these games. Used to play a `92 incarnation called 'Paranoid'. Good times (hard too).

[@VANxJ]

still have this game! memories...

[@Dad1972hthorn]

I love these type of games. Nice review Mark.

[@SWellusionist]

Marks map is his way of encouraging more people to donate games to him

[@DmitryChmelyov]

I love this original Game Boy game reviews.

[@CaptFat123]

"GOD DAMMIT!" *Jumps out to go and retrieve ball*

[@chrisman5535]

Good job Mark, you pronounced the Greek name and city perfectly.

[@frylock456]

Got this and Tennis for a dollar each. The best two bucks I ever spent. Funny how you reviewed both of those games this week.

[@Raiden3651]

That box art always caught my eye as a kid.

[@Andy.Oak1313]

Lovin the map idea!

[@Vectrex4Life]

Well of course he did, because Classic Game Room reviews EVERYTHING!

[@MrVenom1974]

Alleyway it's an instant classic.

[@david8FCB]

I love the map idea.

[@bl4ckw1ngz64]

The one. The only. THE LEGEND!!!!

[@POKEGAMERZ-uy5lv]

LOL does this also happen 2 Luigi when he plays 2 much Arkanoid?

[@dawn1berlitz]

how did you do that i remember when i used tio have the super gameboy i never knew about the color change feature

[@spiderjerusalem100]

Dammit Mark, i love your reviews. More Genesis/Mega Drive games please!

[@then8mac]

Oh that would be a lovely game. Every time you hit a brick the game goes "POW" "BLAM" "WOOSH"

[@SApcGUY]

He has the best voice the world has ever seen

[@TheGuyWhoIsSitting]

I know a ton of reviewers that hate this game, but honestly I never had a problem with it. It's a little slow at time, but most of these types of games start slow.

[@johnfarley3489]

Hey mark i think every time someone sends you a game and you review it at the end of the video you pin point where they sent you the game from. I thought that was pretty sweet.

[@mariocuk9327]

I have played this game on Nintendo. It was pirated catridge and the game was called Kung Fu Mario.

[@ravenoftheredsky]

I played this game on the original game boy as a mere child. I was an angry child back then.

[@Vap0rvic]

Classic :) loved that game that was my first ever game i played

[@SuperAngryWalrus]

You should put a pin on every location you have been sent games from! I'm guessing thats what the map is for?

[@magnus_da_op_gamer_0021]

I love the intro

[@inlovewithi]

I love the map.

[@greeksotiris]

As a greek, I tell you, you pronounced it perfectly (for someone who speaks English). :)

[@MonacoLager1]

Mark's right. You can NEVER play enough Arkanoid. =D

[@tomthroffle]

Best breakball clone ever!

[@BigBoi653]

The nostalgia.

[@GeorgePerakis]

Yup, she was indeed the one to donate all those controller a couple of months back.

[@bl4ckw1ngz64]

Impossible, but that won't stop us from watching.

[@yohnazo]

So, when you get game over does Mario just jump out his ship and give up?

[@TheGuyWhoIsSitting]

Yes, time, just the one.

[@cgraham6]

Just like the tennis game from yesterday, Nintendo used to sneak Mario into everything.

[@GeorgePerakis]

I'm not sure, the most recent one I can think of was an Out-run remake, but my memory isn't vary good with this kind of thing.

[@RetroClash95]

Cgr should get a arkanoid arcade that'd be awesome.

[@alegradance]

Alleyway equals awesome

[@MortalisPT]

i know that game, i played it on a big Game boy compilation o:

[@msemlar9108]

Now I want a Batman themed brick breaker set in a Gotham City ally...

[@GeorgePerakis]

I'm not the guy who sent you this but I am Greek and youactually pronounced Athanasios perfectly, but that is an easy one after all, try my Greek name: Yiorgos, yeah.....

[@reshiram202]

What is the name of the song in the beggining?

[@SnackHeadCowboy]

Ingit this the other week from a car boot, worth the quid I paid, passes the time on a train or on the bog.

[@Ub3rGoob3r]

Yeah actually, a little bit, I discovered CGR & Undertow a few months ago; I haven't back-tracked through very many of their older videos but I'm working on it, watching several per day :P

[@GeorgePerakis]

And it should co-star Felicity from Worcestershire England!

[@Snoobroglo30]

So addicted to this game; I play it on the bus on the way to university.. And when I'm sitting in my bedroom.. And whenever else I feel like breaking my high score, which I don't think I'll ever break at this rate!

[@VikingFirebeard]

While everyone is worried about geography, am I the only one worried Mark's Game Boy doesn't have a working power LED?

[@Ub3rGoob3r]

Oh, actually, I have.. I think :P I'm guessing he sent Mark a lot of games? Anything remarkable that you can think of?

[@GeorgePerakis]

Oh yeah Iamost forgot about her,and Ithink there's also some other guy in the states (I think Florida) who's name escapes me, but yeahI remember Felicity, she's donated a lot of weird ones, and who was the one who donated all the PS2 controllers? Was that Felicity too?

[@frylock456]

Or Felicity in Worcestershire, England...

[@thatssomegoodpie]

I remember this :)

[@NeonGorill4]

Awesome

[@kittybones26]

How'd that work out for ya?

[@matthewmallozzi3326]

I loved alleyway

[@Fortuna1]

In gameboy color look cool this game, try!

[@RetroAmateur1989]

Guile's theme, HA!

[@johneygd]

When gameboy games had simple graphics but great stereo saperation, but later gameboy games were just the otherway around, great complex graphics but no stereo saperation. Alley way is a strange name for a break out clone with mario in it.

[@beckybecky125]

if played on a GBC or later, Luigi controls it instead

[@SeNniN06]

does it have a vectrex port.

[@Casper1563]

I have the game on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console.

[@bombjack1984]

Mark's new video capture system is very jerky - look at that ball juddering around on the SGB footage. It didn't used to be like that.

[@RetroVgLovers]

Peroni? My favourite beer ;)

[@PeacefulEndowment]

MOAR

[@Eggys0]

So if the ball goes down Mario jumps out in anger?

[@susanfit47]

Alleyway for the Nintendo Game Boy felt like an NES game.

[@xeroker1985]

wow that music

[@chedruid]

dat intro!!!

[@EnforcerX71]

I remember Screwattack reviewed this game years ago, and made quite a poor account of it.

[@drancov]

I remember this game. Fun for a bit but gets old after going so far just to lose and start at the beginning again. Those levels with no music but only the block sound annoyed me. Rather play Arkanoid but this isn't bad for Game Boy.

[@eins2001]

same with a lot of 8 and 16 bit games!

[@vincesauce888]

cool !!!

[@eotsdev]

May I suggest DoCoNoid on Xbox Live Indie Games for those of you that likes brickbreakers...

[@FAKoLL]

i have it! it's great :)

[@Ub3rGoob3r]

lol why is that? There are so many episodes of CGR & Undertow that I wouldn't be able to tally all of it within my lifetime :P Maybe someone from Qatar sent him a bazillion games?

[@Mr.Nin10do.]

Is that where my taxes go to? Just so some awesome guy can play game in space?

[@only257]

Interesting

[@WARDEATHFUN]

Man, I traded Tetris for this game before.

[@kijijikubwa]

I'm officially an iPhoney

[@kiflidemon]

He's native.

[@1973d2]

nice haircut

[@infinitygenealpa]

Yes, you can play too much Arkanoid, because these kinds of games always get boring after a certain amount of time.

[@influencehistory8879]

You new here are you not?

[@tkouleris]

GREECE!!!!!!

[@SweetCherryGrower]

Greece !!

[@Musicradio77Network]

More like “Greece is the word” by Frankie Valli.

[@SweetCherryGrower]

@@Musicradio77Network is this time travel?

[@Camps2630]

Not a fan of the new intro but meh...still good videos
