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.

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?

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…

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

If being in an echo chamber means "I can post a dumb joke about an old video game and not have to wade through algorithmically inserted crypto scam ads and freaks trying to kickstart GamerGate 2.0 because they're mad that a girl was given a speaking role in a movie," sign me up for the echo chamber
