Pixel Galaxy: A GameBoy Celebration

Meant to post about the forthcoming Pixel Galaxy book ever since I read about it over at the ever-vigilant GameSetWatch, but, well, a windy summer can do strange things apparently... Anyway, the good news is that Pixel Galaxy is an upcoming art book focusing on the excellent black & white art that graced the screen of the Nintendo Game Boy. You can get a closer look at it right here. And, yes, it really does look beautiful.

The decline of the Game Boy

Ever wanted to find out the exact manner of the Game Boy's death? The role of Pokemon in temporarily saving it? How shovelware swamped the system perhaps? Well, you 'd better have a read about the decline of the Game Boy then. It's pretty lovely and definitely enlightening.

Curse of Monkey Island - GameBoy

Well, not really, no, but at least the lovely pics above do prove that The Curse of Monkey Island could look both amazing and be elegantly functional as a Game Boy demake. Provided it were incredibly short that is... Anyway. See the complete set here.

The Game Boy Oscilloscope

Oscilloscopes, those beautifully arcane display devices, have been with gaming from the very beginning of its history. Though Tennis for Two isn't the hottest digital offering of our age, the oscilloscope that joystiq discovered is way more interesting. It can actually display GameBoy games, while being both utterly impressive and definitely not portable. Here, have a look at the video:

GBA Game Boy fusion

Game Boy GBA modNot all mods are great, but what you see above is brilliant both as an idea and from an aesthetic point of view. After all, it most obviously is a Game Boy Advance SP occupying the now bulky case of Nintendo's original Game Boy. It is thus the best and most retro friendly way to enjoy Gameboy, Gameboy Color and GBA games on the go and -importantly- on a shiny back-lit screen. Excellent! Find out more.

The Art of the Game Boy Papercraft

Nintendo gameboy papercraftSpectacular stuff, and from what I can tell (I do have a proper old Gameboy at hand for comparison reasons) these Gameboy papercrafts are anatomically correct. Brilliant stuff! Find out more about them and of course download them here (via WiiNooB).

Mega Man!



Lately I've been entertaining myself with the Mega Man series. It was the first time I played one of those hallowed games but, as it's becoming somewhat of an habit of mine, I didn't just stick with one or two games, much like what I did with Contra I'm trying to play and beat every game. Or at least most of them, since I'm not really feeling like playing the Gameboy versions. They seem too similar to the NES games. Still, they might be worth checking out according to these reviews.

Video Game Vault - Super Mario Land



I know I promised to review this game, but until then here's a nice little vid about it.

I have fond memories of this game. It was the first game I've played on a Gameboy, back when I was 6 or 7 or something, and also the first Mario game I played.

Today it's still an awesome game. Beat it for the first time not so long ago using an emulator and it's still so much fun. Try it out if you haven't already!

The Game Boy PC mod thingy...

It's a Game Boy stuffed with proper yet unnaturally small PC components and frankly there's not much one could hope to add... Disagree? Click here and find out more then.

Link's Awakening DX: an ancient map

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX is -to this day- one of the most elaborate, smart and deep games available for any handheld console. It also is one of the first games to feature lovely colors on the one and only Game Boy Color. And in the extreme case you'd like to use a nice and fully interactive map to help Link get around this game, better try this link (mind you, a Zelda NES map can be found here).

Nintendo Gameboy Commercial

Not that impressive really, is it? Still, it's all 80s and all Gameboy.
