I have very fond memories of this game also. And your post made me realise this is another title that I’m missing from my collection… damn

For that device I personally would focus more on SNES and GameBoy gaming (up to Advance), so I’ll just mention a couple of my favourites.

SNES:

• Chrono Trigger > One of the best JRPGs ever. If never played before, well worth giving this a try.
• Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars > Sooo much fun, easy to burn hours.

GameBoy:

• Pokemon Red/Blue/Green > Original Pokemon series, if you love it you love it.
• Pokemon Yellow > The Special Pikachu Edition has Pikachu following you around, its cute, and the one I would recommend personally out of the originals.
• WarioLand 2 > One of my favourite platformers on the GB.
• GameBoy Gallery 2 > Contains old Game and Watch games but with a (at the time) modern take on them + the original versions. I’ve wasted hours beyond hours playing modern Fire.

GameBoy Color:

• Pokemon Gold/Silver > It’s Pokemon lol
• Swiv > Kind of forgotten title, but really fun scrolling shooter (I think this the best way to describe it)

GameBoy Advance:

• Pokemon Fire Red > An updated version of the original Pokemon Red. If it’s your first time playing any of the originals, I would say try this one as it feels more modern to play due to the updated pixel art.

Hahaha just finished watching, that was great! Thanks for sharing 😊

2min 5second battery life… totally worth it! Lol

Ah good point!

Yeah I’m leaning towards the IPS instead of the OLED. Can’t wait to get Pokemon Yellow cranking on this thing again 😄

This is what I originally had in mind! I might do case too if I can find a Kiwi Color especially! I already have one original Kiwi Color, but I would love to have a second but with this screen.

Did you consider the OLED option?

Thanks for the heads up! I wouldn’t be looking for an OLED for the Pocket though, I would only consider for the Color. But I do like the idea about the battery regardless, thanks!

Thanks! I’ll check out your blog 😊 I didn’t consider OLED displays, but that would definitely be cool!

I thought about this too, but this is actually a secondary one. I also have a Kiwi coloured GameBoy Color put away which is staying exactly how it is

I’m actually super disappointed I couldn’t find the other THPS and Crash titles! I knew I had them growing up, but they must have just got lost over the years I guess.

So when I found all these games again, I was actually looking to see if I still had my copies of FF8 and any of the Oddworld games. I was super surprised when I came across the rest haha

It potentially may have been my last one as well. I got it a bit after the PS2 launched (I never owned one, and kept playing my PS1 instead during high school).

I don’t have much other memory of that game other than just cruising around haha

Ah awesome! That would have been my next guess with the Black Metal clue haha

Yep exactly on both!

Nice spot on the Cashies sticker haha. I was going to clean the sticker off the case but I decided to leave it there as it reminds me of that day 😊

Haha Norwegian?

I had a black metal phase during school years and years ago haha

I think it took like 18 months to get through it

Damn, now that’s some effort 😄

I distinctly remember getting this game as a kid.

I was with my Grandmother, and she took me to Cash Converters (a second hand shop) on the other side of town, and she allowed me to get 1 game. I remember seeing the cover of Descent and just being like ‘whaaaaat’ haha. I also ended up spending a lot of time playing this gem
