I just beat Unearthed for Gameboy Color and loved every second of it. The puzzles are smart and very satisfying to solve. The story and the bleak, oppressive atmosphere are brilliant. Game is beautiful.
Simply one of the best games of the GBC.
Thanks @jeltron.bsky.social & Gumpy Function.

L’auteur (excellent) de cette video vient d’être attaqué en justice par l’entreprise dont il dénonçait l’ébouriffant bullshit.
L’entreprise, Laserostop, ne veut surtout pas que vous voyiez cette video. Je la mets ici. Mais n’allez surtout pas la voir. Oula non.

Just received a Gameboy Color game from Limited Run. The game itself is awesome - brillant design, addictive gameplay.
But the packaging is so bad. Cart looks like a cheap aliexpress knockoff, and is not even a GBC cart. Boxart is meh.
Why? Why not do the extra effort, given the price?

Grab two for the price of one, give it as a gift! 😃😃

First time I see this one. Wow. To turn your Game Boy into some kind of landspeeder, I guess.

Happy to see that Tetris Plus for GB is getting some love!
I always enjoyed this interesting variation on the game, with the little explorer stuck in the pit and that you have to save.

I know Dragon’s Lair for GBC is a super impressive piece of tech. The only issue is… it’s just not that fun to play. I played a few times, lost, never found a reason to come back to it. Probably did not play more than an hour.
No wonder sales were disappointing…

Have you seen all the warning screens you get when playing a Game Boy Color, Neo Geo Pocket Color, or Wonderswan Color game on their respective monochromatic system?

A bit bonkers that a game i was coding 30 years ago is being re-released. I hope they’re using a filter to retain a bit of blur and make the visuals authentic. Some of the technical decisions i made to get so many sprite-based objects on-screen relied on sprite multiplexing and blur

Just playing this game for the first time. Solomon’s Club (Tecmo, 1991)
This is actually really good so far! Nice smart little puzzles.
