Game Boy: When Boy Met Game - Scott The Woz

[@CroakPad]

Mole Mania sounds like a game that would have been perfect on the DS. Imagine having both layers of the level each on their own screens.

[@LegoMaster5197]

That sounds like a really good idea!

[@theoceanistblu9346]

I never heard of that game and all I thought when he was talking about it was "WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T IT CONTINUE FOR MORE YEARS", the concept sounds so genius

[@Cabamacadaf]

I think that would kind of defeat the purpose. It would be way too easy if you could see both screens at the same time.

[@wesreleases6346]

Pokémon really thrives in the imagination, and that’s how it’s designed, imo. For kids who aren’t that experienced with games, getting lost makes the world feel vast. You don’t know just how big secrets work, so you think any secret you find might be the most important one in the game. Every Pokémon is special and potentially powerful. Your imagination fills in all the gaps of the actually small and simple game world. It’s definitely a series best started as a kid.

In all fairness to Metroid II, a LOT of the most iconic aspects of the series debuted in that game. Shooting downward, kneeling, the Varia suit's shoulder pads, the Spider Ball, Spring ball, Spazer, Plasma beam, Samus' arm cannon opening up to denote that you're in missile mode, the Space Jump, the Metroid larval lifecycle, recharge stations and save points- all these fundamental parts of Metroid were introduced in Metroid II.

In my experience classic Gameboy is best played on a bed or couch with a dimly lit warm colored lamp to the side. It doesn't illuminate the entire screen, there's like a tiiiny fraction that's not in the light, but you can still see it in my experience. It's actually really good for something to do before bed, since there's no blue light shining into your eyes keeping you up like a phone would.
