This week is the Game Boy Week- the week which I’m to lazy to write any articles which are worth while- first up Speedy Gonzales: Aztec Adventure on the GBC.

Ah the GameBoy – the retro bastard child which keeps on giving as proably one of the best handhelds to grace the planet- with its life cut short from the DS’s ambilical cord the long legend of the Game Boy is now gone. But this week we are looking at these funky little devices all over again.

First up is Speedy- a licenced game which is suprising good. I got this game years ago and its the first game I can remember asking for- it was back when Software Today was a store- good times- proabably the best games store that ever existed. I was with my bro and my mum- wait thats when I got Game and Watch :/ Awesome game too. Good times. Yes thats a different story for another day. But the same thing happend when we were at Harvey Norman- I think it was when they first moved out to the long yard- man that was ages ago.

I was looking at Game Boy games – and this was before I was a savy internet user- I was like ‘this looked cool’ and showed my mum- only for her to go to the sales guy ‘is this a good game’- how the fuck would he know/care?

Anyway take it home- play for a bit ended up using the internet to get the level cheats after a few months- awesome game never aless. It wasn’t that it was to hard- it was the fact that the game was based around continus play. Unless the batery died when I went to check it :/

Anyway the point is you had lots of levels which conisted of more levels inside the levels. Anyway the main gameplay was running, jumping and collecting cheese.

You had to run away from crazy mother fuckers like Selvester and that dog guy (I don’t remember his name) and in the other parts of the game there were also random birds which attacked you and in the water levels- huge pillars which smash you boat.

Epic.

It was a fun game, and for a licenced game- I could say proabably the only licenced game which is done properly.
