Top Gear Pocket 2

This is really fun

Game no: 498
Genre: Racing  
Platform: Gameboy Color 
Release Date: 1999

Love this box art when I saw it at EGM and I think this game must be fun. This game for it's technical limitations is a fun game to play. The tracks are varied and you can upgrade the cars when you win a race. Single player is just a race in different season and that's about it. I give this game an A-Rank

Pokémon Pinball

Amazing Gameboy game

Game no: 497
Genre: Pinball  
Platform: Gameboy Color 
Release Date: 1999

I am still amazed how they manage to program pinball games in a 2D plane. This game you have two different tables which is red and blue (red is more interactive than blue) and you guide the Pokéball to catch Pokémon and rack up points. There are a couple of interactive elements in the game and there are a lot of events you need to complete before the time ends. The game use the rumble pack feature that is in you GBC (I use my laptop and it was rumbling hard) which I find entertaining. In the end I got close to 500 million points and I give this game an A-Rank

Micro Machine V3

I can't believe how good this game is

Game no: 496
Genre: Racing  
Platform: Gameboy Color 
Release Date: 1997

This game is the exact port of the PS1 game with just minor graphically downgrades but that doesn't mean the core gameplay is not there. The best part of the game is how fluid the controls are. Better than the first one. Each vehicle handles differently and precisely. Gameplay is fun and the stages are interactive. Love this game. I give it A-Rank

Micro Machines 1and 2 : Twin Turbo

 A very good port 

Game no: 494
Genre: Racing  
Platform: Gameboy Color
Release Date: 2000

Basically this game is a port of the SNES version. The game is fast pace and fun to play. The only issues is a bit of slowness when you fall which makes it a bit frustrating. I finish all 25 tracks and and in the end I say it was a fun 3 days. B-Rank for me

Game no: 491
Genre: Puzzle

Klustar

Tetris but from all angles 

Game no: 490
Genre: Puzzle  
Platform: Gameboy Color 
Release Date: 1999


A tetris game but where the blocks move from angles. the blocks will disappear after you get 3x3. If you miss your chance it will make the main block will be longer and you have no way to navigate it.  Overall it is enjoyable but you'll get bored after a while. I gave it a C-Rank.

Denki Blocks!

 The first gameboy color game that I really enjoy

Game no: 489
Genre: Puzzle  
Platform: Gameboy Color 
Release Date: 2002


It is basically a simple game where you need to match the  same color blocks to the rest. The only trick is that when you move the blocks everything moves with you. So you need to navigate the terrain in order not to hit anything or become stuff. This game is genius and easy to play. There are some puzzle that I can't figure out but overall I enjoyed my time playing it. I think this how Gameboy Color games should be. Short and sweet without any convoluted mess. I give this game a
B-Rank
