Dr. Mario is one of those puzzle games that I thought would be more interesting than it is. Let me back up a bit. When this game first came out, I didn’t know it was a puzzle game. I’m talking about the NES version of the game. When I was little, I didn’t have NintendoContinue reading “Dr. Mario | Yokoi Corner”

Alleyway — Yokoi Corner
This is a clone of Breakout. It’s a very good clone of Breakout, and hey, it has Mario in it. This was a launch title for the Game Boy. This means it might not be as good as some other games. It is also a straightforward game. Nintendo didn’t seem to want to rock theContinue reading “Alleyway — Yokoi Corner”
Swamp Thing – Yokoi Corner
Swamp Thing on the Game Boy is awful. I will do my best to find something nice to say, but man, is it bad. I get what they were trying to do. It just feels like the ideas they had didn’t work. This was also released on the NES. This made me think that itContinue reading “Swamp Thing – Yokoi Corner”
Castlevania: The Adventure — Yokoi Corner
I’m going to try to be nice to this game. It’s going to be hard, though. I like Castlevania! It’s one of those classic franchises I remember playing when I was little. I think we rented it a few times, but I can’t be sure as it was thirty years ago. I remember the secondContinue reading “Castlevania: The Adventure — Yokoi Corner”
Contra: The Alien Wars — Yokoi Corner
This was one of the first Game Boy games I received when I got my first Game Boy. It’s an excellent game, and it’s my favorite Contra game. I know that’s weird, and you’re probably thinking how could this game possibly be better than Contra Force or Legacy of War? That was probably a badContinue reading “Contra: The Alien Wars — Yokoi Corner”
BurgerTime Deluxe — Yokoi Corner
BurgerTime is one of my favorite games. This is mainly due to the memories of playing it on the NES with one of my friends. I’ve written about the series as a whole, but I want to focus on the Game Boy version of the game this time. The version on the Game Boy isContinue reading “BurgerTime Deluxe — Yokoi Corner”
Donkey Kong — Yokoi Corner
Donkey Kong on the Game Boy surprised me a bit. I was expecting it to be a port of the arcade game and nothing more than that. However, it goes beyond the arcade and turns into a fun game that isn’t hampered by being the same as the arcade game. Let me back up aContinue reading “Donkey Kong — Yokoi Corner”
Gargoyle’s Quest – Yokoi Corner
Gargoyle’s Quest is a side-scrolling action game. You play as the gargoyle, Firebrand, and you’re trying to save your realm from a significant threat. This happened before, and your people couldn’t beat them back then. This makes me think this land of monsters is filled with the mobs you would typically fight to grind forContinue reading “Gargoyle’s Quest – Yokoi Corner”
TMNT: The Fall of the Foot Clan – Yokoi Corner
Hey! I wrote up some thoughts on the first TMNT game on the Game Boy.
Torpedo Range — Yokoi Corner
Torpedo Range is a fun arcade-style game. I’m not sure what the game’s goal is, and I think there might not be one. There isn’t a story as far as I can tell. It might be in the manual, but I don’t have it. This is one of those strange games put out on theContinue reading “Torpedo Range — Yokoi Corner”
