I don't know if this is it but, what you describe is called "imposter syndrome", if that helps. π

It sounds similar to one of my favorite commands! vidir π
Hi! I'm a Game Boy collector / enthusiast / reviewer. And this question has an easy answer in my opinion...
Catrap
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfV4MnGfiA4&t=284
- It's relaxing. It's a turn based, pure puzzle game. Like, there's literally no action. The enemies don't even move!
- It's big. 100 puzzles that slowly increase in difficulty. I was able to beat them all, over time.
- It's non-punishing. No time limits. No lives.
- No stress. Catrap was the first(?) game to feature an undo button. Try something out. Didn't work? Just hold B to undo. You can undo all the way back to the start of the stage, as many time as you want.
- It's simple. Up, down, left, and right to move. B to undo. I think A is introduced later to swap between characters?
- IT'S FUN. It looks good, plays good, and just feels good to jump around the stage. And completing a stage is so satisfying.
I hope you like it! π
higher prices
I'm heavily into Game Boy collecting. I just checked their online prices. They might be the cheapest I've seen, in general. For example PokΓ©mon Blue is lower than the common price I've seen online (especially considering usual shipping and fees), but not low enough people will buy them up and re-sell them.
No promises it'll stay that way, but they're very competitive for now.
What a great article!!
So, I'm a huge Game Boy fan. I'd heard about how good Puyo Puyo is, so I got a Japanese copy of Puyo Puyo Tsu. From what I can tell it's a great port. But I struggled so much getting into it! And then I read your comment...
Puyo Puyo Tsu is hard. Itβs really damn hard. Iβve witnessed many new players struggle with even basic 3- and 4-chains, nevermind making the real big chains the game mode demands of you. And unlike Tetris where casual players do not need to know fancy T-Spin setups just to get started and play, you really canβt get far at all in Puyo Puyo Tsu without at least some understanding of chaining fundamentals.
...and I feel justified. π What do you recommend is a good way for a new player to get into the game? Something to read, a video, or something else?
π The phone call was just to get some simple bonus tips, nothing really necessary.
What killed me was, to swap items, you hold Select and use the arrow keys. It's soooo unintuitive!
the difficult game of Fester's Quest on NES
Fun fact, the European release is vastly easier due to the simple fact that you can shoot through walls!
All enemies and bosses take less hits for them to be killed. The projectiles fired from the gun can go through walls and obstacles.

It still makes me angry for what we got in the US! π€π
It looks great! π
OMG I just came home with a Sanyo DS13320 from the side of the road and I am ECSTATIC!!! It couldn't be more perfect for an NES, and it looks in great condition externally.
I haven't plugged it in yet. It doesn't appear to be wet anywhere outside or inside, so hopefully it was put outside after it rained this morning.
Should I do or check anything before plugging it in and trying to power it on?
Yes! As a primarily Game Boy gamer in my youth Max Payne was the only M rated game I ever got. And I played through the whole thing, great game. π
Nowadays I also have the only rated M game for the to final Game Boy, Mortal Kombat 3. π
Heyyy I just picked up a copy of Iridion 3D! I haven't played it much yet but love the 3D effect. Kind of a Starfox style shooter.
If I had to pick one game from your pile to pick up and play right now it'd probably be Sonic Advance. I played and re-played that game a TON, although I never actually beat it.
Which is your favorite?

Everything looked so good until I saw the player ship movement and was so disappointed! π The ship bounces around the screen at twitchy speeds, completely ruining the look and feel of the game.
