Very nice. Was thinking of doing the same. Now, just need to find out how to follow from another Instance.

Metroid II: Samus Returns & Gargoyles Quest (such a bloody hard game) on the OG GameBoy were my favs. I played a lot of *Battletoads *on it too but that game was so bloody frustratingly difficult, especially for a kid, so played it mostly out of spite to get past the stupid brain ball chasing you level. Also loved Parodius (parody side scrolling SHUMP from Konami) but never owned it, so borrowed it from friends to play. Naturally I also played Tetris to the point that the music still haunts my dreams. There was also a pretty decent Spider-Man game for it, but can’t remember it’s name & it’s not showing up on lists.

The OG GB also had a lot of bog awful licensed property (movie/tv/cartoon) tie in games too, as well as generally terrible releases. To see them all, check this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Game_Boy_games

I unfortunately never owned an Advance, so only got into games on it later via official emulators (the Wii U control pad was the best GB Advance out there), so got to play Golden Sun later but enjoyed it as a fairly unique take on the J-RPG genre. The releases of Breath of Fire 1 & 2 on the Advance was also a great thing, since they were my favourite SNES games.

For GBA games, here’s a list but so many shitty licensed games there too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Game_Boy_Advance_games

I miss those trams. They might still have them in Melbourne but I’m not down in Melbourne.

Bolt shoud’ve been fired years ago but he’s one of the few people left at Sky/Murdoch that will so willingly debase themselves with stupid options & say such pathetic things to get a smidgen of views without demanding a better spot & higher pay.

Pity. I grew up with the classic ones. Wish they kept them around, even if just for the sake of tourism.

I briefly lived with a Kiwi years ago and he thought I hated him because I kept calling him ‘mate’. And I thought he hated me because he kept calling me ‘bro’.

It’s now all John Oliver as far as the eye can see.
