That would be a cool idea for a blog post! Screenshots of various Super Gameboy enhanced games running on SNES!

hmm. I don't have a scanner, but wouldn't be surprised if that mag is archived somewhere...

Thanks for the welcome messages guys.
Bubble Ghost is a fun game, but I really struggle with it after a few screens. The few lives it gives are soon lost and I'm back to the start again. With no password system, it's a bit too hardcore for me! What a great idea for a game tho :idea:
You have a great blog, noiseredux. I have a copy of Gamespite Q1 in my bathroom :D. Your write-up of Battletoads brought back memories. I loved that game as a kid. Never got past the rolling brain though. I'm going to try and pick it up again (with the other 2 released if possible). I remember a very satifying *thunk* noise + screen shake when slamming an axe into the enemies :mrgreen: Looking forward to reading more articles. I would love to write about gameboy myself someday.
I think the Japanese exclusives appeal to me because there's so little info around (at least in English). There's a nice little RPG called 'For Frog the Bell Tolls' that may get a fan translation soon, but that looks so charming that I may consider trying a play with a printed walkthrough. Ahhh just noticed it's on the Racketboy undiscovered list (Kaeru no Tameni Kaneha Naru). Great article. I could read about gameboy all day.
It would be great if the gameboy were to suddenly become as collectable as NES / G&W.. Not because I'd be sitting on a goldmine (well, not just that :wink: ), but because there would suddenly be a lot more information and discussion.
Oh yeah, there's one other thing I like about gameboy collecting. The names / ages / school classes etc. that you sometimes find scrawled in permanent marker on the back of carts. It shows a bit of character, love and history. Excellent!
