Game Boy World

10:51 Whether it was intentional or not, it pleases how Lupin's walking speed and the distribution of the dots match the rhythm of the background music

[@binkbonkbones3402]

I randomly selected two videos from the game boy world playlist and got the amazing coincidence of watching the lupin the third video and then this immediately after.

[@Suedeash]

I love this game, spents hours on the very last level (in the extra game) and it drove me to frustration but was so rewarding to beat. Absolutely fantastic game, solid visuals and music. Love the little gags with him exiting the banks on each stage

[@ChibiFighter]

Data East had this odd period of good games for the Gameboy, this and Burger Time Deluxe are excellent.

[@TenshiCat]

10:51 I like those coin sounds syncing with the music

[@MrMegaManFan]

You say it's not on that many "favorite" lists but if I had to pick GameBoy games you couldn't pry out of my cold dead hands, Lock 'n Chase and Mr. Do! would be right near the top.

[@rowtow13]

This is one of the many lesser-known Game Boy games I nabbed when 3DS Virtual Console was a thing. Enjoyed the couple of hours I spent on it.

[@monkeyspice2010]

had this one on my gameboy when I was a kid. it was really fun for what it was :)

[@ryanstevens283]

I'd love a list of games that totally change up for the last level. Fascinating little idiosyncrasy. Didn't you or Bob ask Ron gilbert about why so many adventure games last puzzle switch it up? To give the player an unexpected bit as it wraps up? Does Kid Icarus win in this behavior? Loved the lock n chase cut scenes as kid. Never beat it, so that sokobon level was a surprise. Looking forward to Great Greed!

Great episode, but I believe your claim that cassettes are "..the world's most fragile & unreliable data distribution format..." is incorrect. I still have cassettes from the early 80s which play fine. When cassette tape breaks or rips, it is often the fault of the tape head / player instead of the tape. Magnetic tape itself is a wonderfully durable data format. Minor grievance aside, Game Boy World continues to be an inspiration - thank you Jeremy!

Allen Mozek according to HG101 theres i only ONE Deco system functioning now...

[@thegouldfish]

Not all games were multiload on the ZX Spectrum or the C64 (people tend to forget that it was also loaded games of cassettes), they too just loaded the whole thing into memory then ran. there was even hardware to read the memory to take snapshots and allow you to load them quicker.

[@Suedeash]

absolutely tape is more than sturdy enough, you just need to clean your devices regularly as you say

[@allenmozek1]

@@gabrieleriva651 I was simply speaking to the durability of the cassette medium itself. I’m not personally familiar with the Deco, so my point wasn’t directed at that in particular.

[@RetroPowerUp]

Great review! I'll keep this game in mind if I ever find it out in the wild.

[@GameBoyGuru]

Picked this one up recently, looking forward to giving it a go.

[@CalaveraCandy]

I just picked this game up recently and I'm really enjoying it.

[@dcashley303]

Masterful review as always

[@jacobyne]

Looks like youtube's audio speech recognition likes you a lot. It's 95% exact on your videos.

[@JeremyParish]

+Cristiano Good to know that my drowsy, pedantic narrative style is good for something.

[@SECONDQUEST]

@@JeremyParish oh I love it.

[@NORMALLYRETRO]

Definitely one of my fav pac man derivatives (the other being Pepper II). I have to admit that it does look slower paced than the original, but seems as if the new options make up for the lack of speed. That BGM sounds great though.

[@pinmike8666]

Pepper II itself is a clone of Amidar, which was made by Konami; It's also similar to Crush Roller, which I'm not sure if that came before or after Amidar. Awesome game, though, and one of my personal favorite Colecovision games.

Sokoban: the carcinization of Game Boy games

[@Contempl8Tech]

love these videos. Again I just acquired this game and I was worried that it would be a bust. however with your input on it I'm looking forward to the game.Thank you! ^_^

[@adams213]

Thank you

[@caryslan5890]

Thanks to this review, I picked up Lock n Chase on my 2DS and I love it! Thank you for helping me discover this hidden gem.

[@marcelthoma8890]

I like the music of this.

[@hambukmil]

Damn i love game boy and this you tube channel its the one i look for the most, not even cinemassacres avgn makes me so anxious about the next episode

[@Raiko101]

Thisis on the 3DS eShop, right? I might have to pick it up. This completely passed me by in my childhood.

[@SECONDQUEST]

Man I love your channel

[@inazumanfrash]

An underrated gem for me

[@silpheedTandy]

the government of this town really needs to increase the police budget. the cops are so unmotivated that they take naps on duty; the cops are woefully under-equipped (no tasers? no skeleton keys to open barriers?!). and honestly, the citizens carelessly letting their coins and diamonds out of their sight are not much more responsible.

[@CarlosCruz-kj3ph]

O happen to have a copy of that game for the gameboy but is not by DATA EAST it says SUNSOFT is this a revision of the game made by sunsoft themselves later on? Anybody know anything? Is this revision of the game rare?

[@JeremyParish]

Carlos Cruz For some reason, SunSoft reissued a bunch of GB games from other publishers in the late ‘90s including the Final Fantasy games. You’ve basically got a second printing. Same game though.

[@CarlosCruz-kj3ph]

@@JeremyParish yeah I dunno why I had not play the game but I 🔥 it up and it seems to be the same game haven't been able to find if this is a thought one to find as a revision of, i honestly can't find sold listing on eBay or that sort of thing I'm a collector and just curious as of its value collector things you know hahahah but anyway thank you for your input really appreciate it thank you very much, I really enjoy your videos keep up the good work 👍👌

[@JeremyParish]

To my knowledge there's no meaningful price difference between original and SunSoft reissues for GB. I don't think most collectors care all that much.

[@Johnsarcade]

You took footage from my channel? :)

[@JeremyParish]

+John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Sorry, I gave a credit for the source-is that not OK? I'm always very scrupulous about citing source material.

[@Johnsarcade]

+Jeremy Parish i didn't see that on the bottom. It's all good.... I was just told about it. :)

[@JeremyParish]

+John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Ah, great. I'm glad you're cool with it. I'm trying to use best practices here and not step on anyone's toes. It occurs to me that I could go an extra step and provide source links in the video descriptions, so I'll start doing that as well.

[@Kafei2006]

+John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech +Jeremy Parish I was literally watching THAT video on your channel not even a week ago and recognised the footage right away :). Very interesting stuff too!

[@susanfit47]

I have this game.

[@jamesmoss3424]

I will play lock 'n chase. 😀👍🎮

[@lightspeedmurphy7546]

Am I the only one who thinks that the orange guy on the cover looks the one other orange guy from Bobobo-bobo-bobobo?

[@mesaulius]

The Atari port was pretty good too.
