Q*Bert on the Game Boy Color is a strange port. My major issue with it is the control scheme. They tried to replicate the control scheme of the arcade game, and I think they pulled it off once I got used to it. TLDR: Q*Bert on the Game Boy Color is a good arcade gameContinue reading “Q*Bert Game Boy Color | Yokoi Corner”

Pokemon Yellow | Yokoi Corner
Pokemon Yellow was the first game that I owned in the series. I borrowed Blue and beat that version. The thing I remember the most is getting the game after my friends had stopped playing Pokemon. The craze didn’t last too long in my friend group. Yellow, in particular, is the game that I enjoyContinue reading “Pokemon Yellow | Yokoi Corner”
Blades of Steel | Yokoi Corner
Blades of Steel is the best hockey game on the NES, in my opinion. Ice Hockey is also excellent, but I like Blades of Steel more and have more memories of playing the game. The Game Boy version is an excellent port of the game, even if it feels easier than the NES version. ThisContinue reading “Blades of Steel | Yokoi Corner”
Tamagotchi | Yokoi Corner
Tamagotchi was released at the tail end of the virtual pet craze in the 90s. This was kind of like Pokemon before Pokemon. They were initially released as key chains and had a few different themes. The one that I had was a Dinosaur themed Giga Pet. It was fun for a while, but likeContinue reading “Tamagotchi | Yokoi Corner”
Balloon Kid | Yokoi Corner
Balloon Kid took my favorite part of Balloon Fight and turned it into a game. This is an expanded version of the Balloon Trip part of Balloon Fight. It seems to have dropped the parts I don’t like and expanded on the stuff I enjoyed. Balloon Fight was a clone of Joust. It was aContinue reading “Balloon Kid | Yokoi Corner”
Operation C | Yokoi Corner
Operation C is an excellent version of Contra. It’s an entertaining run-and-gun game that feels like it fits in with the games on the NES and SNES. The game looks great and has many of the power-ups you see in other Contra games. It drops a few of them that I would typically avoid, andContinue reading “Operation C | Yokoi Corner”
TMNT II: Back from the Sewers | Yokoi Corner
TMNT II: Back from the Sewers is a big step up from the first TMNT Game Boy game. While the first game was fun, it was a straightforward game. The second game looks better, plays better, and it sounds better. You’re still doing the same thing in this game. It’s a side-scrolling action game. YouContinue reading “TMNT II: Back from the Sewers | Yokoi Corner”
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes | Yokoi Corner
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is a fun series of movies, a Saturday morning cartoon that I remember fondly, and a really awful video game. THQ made this, and it feels like they were picking up where LJN left off by publishing bad games. This game isn’t based on the movies. It’s based on theContinue reading “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes | Yokoi Corner”
Mr. Do! | Yokoi Corner
Mr. Do! is a bizarre game that feels like a clone of Dig Dug. I thought it was in the Dig Dug series and was a spin-off like Mr. Driller. I was very wrong. The first time I played Mr. Do! was on the Atari 2600. I did a short video on it for myContinue reading “Mr. Do! | Yokoi Corner”
Tetris | Yokoi Corner
The story of Tetris has been told many times. It was created by Alexey Pajitnov in 1984 and had a complicated journey to the Game Boy. I’ve read a few books about it, read the story in other books, and watched plenty of videos about Tetris. Tetris is a spin on the puzzle game Pentomino.Continue reading “Tetris | Yokoi Corner”
