The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is one of the best retro games. I think it is probably the best game on the original Game Boy. I have many memories of playing this game while on car trips and traveling to wrestling meets. This was one of the games that I borrowed from a friendContinue reading “The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening | Yokoi Corner”

The 10 Best Game Boy Games | Yokoi Corner
I love the original Game Boy! There are a lot of great games on the Game Boy. There are so many hidden gems in the system’s library that it is hard to narrow them all down. I’m going to try to do that here. I’ll be pulling from the original Game Boy and the GameContinue reading “The 10 Best Game Boy Games | Yokoi Corner”
Final Fantasy Legend II | Yokoi Corner
Final Fantasy Legend II was one of the first Game Boy games I played. At the time, I didn’t know that it was a SaGa game. I’m pretty sure one of my friends told me about the name change later, probably when SaGa Frontier came out. This is a turn-based role-playing game that borrowed someContinue reading “Final Fantasy Legend II | Yokoi Corner”
Super Mario Land | Yokoi Corner
Super Mario Land brought Mario to the Game Boy and did an excellent job of showing people what the system could do. It also expanded on the Super Mario universe. It is a nice game that is similar to other Super Mario games. There are some differences. Because of the limitations of the Game Boy,Continue reading “Super Mario Land | Yokoi Corner”
Pokemon Crystal | Yokoi Corner
Pokemon Crystal was a game that I missed out on. I missed the second generation of Pokemon games. I’m not sure why I skipped them. Anyway, this is a fun game. If you played the first-generation games (Red, Blue, and Yellow), you would know how to play this one. They did add a few newContinue reading “Pokemon Crystal | Yokoi Corner”
Bubble Bobble | Yokoi Corner
Bubble Bobble is one of the games that I never played until I started collecting games. I liked the NES version of the game and was looking forward to trying this version. On an unrelated note, Bubble Bobble 2 on the Game Boy was cheaper than the NES version when I last checked. This isContinue reading “Bubble Bobble | Yokoi Corner”
Tetris 2 | Yokoi Corner
Tetris 2 is a decent follow-up to the first game, even if it has a few problems. This is a case of a game trying to innovate and missing the mark. It plays a little like Dr. Mario. You still have some tetrominoes, but they are arranged differently from the first game. Often they areContinue reading “Tetris 2 | Yokoi Corner”
Fist of the North Star | Yokoi Corner
Fist of the North Star on the Game Boy is a bad game. It is a one-on-one fighting game similar to Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. Except, it is more like one of the bad clones of those two franchises. Its graphics look like a Tiger Handheld game, the hit detection is awful, and theContinue reading “Fist of the North Star | Yokoi Corner”
Q*Bert Game Boy Color | Yokoi Corner
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”
