Great gameplay
The gameplay in Yars Revenge is addicting, fast paced, and very fun. This Game Boy Color version is much better then the version bundled on the Game Boy Advange with Pong and Asteroids. I know this because I had originally bought Yars Revenge for Game Boy Color used for about 2 bucks. At first, I could't figure out what to do in the game and didn't understand the goal. After I got the hang of this game I was HOOKED!!! It was the best 2 bucks I ever spent. Then, one day I popped the cartrige into my system, and it wouldn't fire up. Attempt after attempt to boot the game up failed: the game had inexplicably stopped working! I had played the game without a problem earlier in the day, too. So, since it broke I thought I'd buy the GBA version....wow, what a rip-off. For 15 bucks I got a slow paced, lower-rez graphics (yes) and much worse version of the game. Don't get me wrong, Asteroids and Pong are allright, but with no high score saves this compilation is lacking. Since the GBA Yars was such a dissapointment I hopped onto Amazon and once again purchased one of the most fun arcade style games EVER: Yars Revenge.
Just as I remembered it!
This one's a classic, folks. I don't remember 'Yar's Revenge' being one of the "bigger name" games on Atari. It wasn't a 'Pac Man' or a 'Space Invaders', but it was definately a fun game. I loved it back then and I love it now. The Game Boy port of the title is excellent. The game is just as I remembered it. The only noticable difference is that the playing field is larger than the Game Boy's screen, meaning it will have to scroll in order to get to the other side. This is a minor footnote, however, and is an obstacle that will quickly be overcome. If you loved this game in the 80's and own a game boy, grab it up!

Fun!
I remember this game from my young teens....it still hasn't changed and is just as much fun as still addicting.The graphics are ok, but for those of us old timers from the Atari 2600 generation, this will feel like putting on a pair of old shoes!Its challenging on a small screen and takes some getting used too.I reccommend this to the 30 something crowd! ...

Monster search
I think the game was great! The best gameboy I've ever playThe story on how I got the game well, I was at a GameXchange and saw it so i bought it. all and all its a cool game

Monster Madness
This game is very fun. You have to feed your monsters, play games with them, and fight them to get points. It's a really cute game and I recommend it to everyone of all ages

Worth the wait!
Ever since I saw a preview for this game in Nintendo Power, I knew I had to have it.I even e-mailed Agetec, Inc. once to know when it would be released.When I saw [it], I instantly got it.It wasn't exactly as I thought it would be, but it is still a great game.The graphics are very detalied(and cute!), and it involves a good deal of strategy.I'm sure glad I got it! ...

3.5 stars - the rebirth of two arcade classics!
Asteroids and Missile Command are indeed worthy of the title of "arcade classics." Through the course of the seventies and the early eighties, very few games were up to the incredibly high standards set by these games. Sure, the games are dated, but that doesn't mean they aren't fun! In the mid nineties, a number of Arcade Classics titles were released for the Game Boy, each one featuring two games each. The first title in this series was a cartridge featuring both Asteroids and Missile Command. Read on for my review of this package.Read more

One hecka fun game!
I think this is the best DKL game ever made. It can be hard to see at times (Or just plain HARD!), but it's still a good, fun game to play. I totally support that other guy's suggestion that there should be a GBA/DS remake.

Good Game But Its on the SP
This game is the same as Donkey Kong Country. Same Music. Same Baddies. Same EVERYTHING! If you want to buy this, go buy Donkey Kong Country which has BETTER graphics. 4/5 Dudes.

Good, but could've been way better.
This game wasn't all that bad. The Graphics were poor to the point that i couldn't see any secret areas. The controls were very good. The concept was great and the game (minus the graphics) itself was great, but the graphics messed it up. I hope Rare re-makes this game for the advance, for it could be a major hit. ... Read more

basic, but entertaining
This game is a Dexter port of an old arcade game (Elevator Action). It's pretty fun for us old cats, but kids used to PS2 games may lose interest pretty quickly.

it doesn't have memory
this game doesn't have memory so no matter how many times you play with it you always stars at the beggining

Just doors makes the game boring.
First of all, you can't save game data. Second of all, the whole game is a bunch of doors, which makes the game very boring. At least if you could save the game, you would be able to continue your progress, no matter how boring it is, but you can't save. ... Read more

My eight year old daughter loved this game.In fact, three of us were involved in making it through the whole game.We carried around an old envelope with the passwords on it so that we could always continue on.This is game is more for a child between 7 and 10, who is just starting out with their first Game Boy. ...

Dragons Are Horrific
First of all, as you can tell by the cover, this is not a game for children.It is a terrifying adventure that chronicles the bloodthirsty nature of fire-blowing, flesh-munching reptilian beasts solely out for the destruction of mankind.
Lots of fun!
I bought this game for my 5 yr old daughters birthday, she's using it on a GBA she also got as a gift for her birthday.My 8 yr old has also tried this game on her GBC and she said it was the most fun she'd ever had with a game.Both of my daughters were thrilled to add this game to their collection.

Pretty Good Game
Dragon Tales: Dragon Wings can be frustrating at times, but can be fun all the same. I have to say the age recomendation is kinda off and should be for slightly older players, I even had a slightly hard time playing it on some of the levels! But there are many qualities to the game though. For instance it teaches a young child to follow directions to accomplish a goal, and teaches a child how to use a Gameboy Color. Some wonderful features about the game inculde choosing between Ord or Cassie as characters to control in the game. Also there are 3 levels of difficulty easy, medium, or hard depending on how skilled your child maybe, and for each level there are 3 kinds of trophies to get apon complishion of a level which are bronze, silver, and gold. With each new level your child learns more and more actions to do with the dragons and eventually they must use multiple tasks in a level to get the job done which lets them use what they have learned to do. Thank you for reading this review and I hope it may have helped you.Read more

It's Tail Time!
Eidos and Crystal Dynamics did well in this game. The graphics are pretty good for a GBC game. The music is nice, and so are the sound clips. The video hints in this game are also very helpful. I'm not far in this game, but I can tell you; it is a real challenge for people young and old. If you are a seriuos gamer, you may think this game is a bore 'cause some of the stuff has already been in action games. Gex's diguises are cute and they are highly detailed. This game is not for beginners though because the controls can be a little tricky. Do I suggest that you get this game? Absolutely! It will be well worth your money.

Tremendous
the graphics are very cool.there are about 15 levels but all of them are very long and fun.In each levels gex changes his outfit.lots of items are there to find.i recomed this game to good gamers.its worth the money!

good game!!!!!

TOM AND JERRY Rev.
Tom and Jerry is an intertaining game. It's 22 levels get kinda repetative, but they are fun because they're challenging. As you play the game u get codes that act as a save to return to a level. This game is pretty hard. You have to be good at the controls and have patients to keep replaying each level. This is a fun game to play every once in a while, but DO NOT play it OFTEN or you will become bored. Maybe every 2 wks. ... Read more

Fun, Entertaining...Then What..?
This was a fun game, one I enjoyed playing (even when I was cursing in frustration).It's got that arcade-like feel where you stroll about killing baddies using either your sword or fireball-thingys you find as you play.One nice feature is the fact that your enemies don't all attack you at once--most stay put until you get close, giving you a chance to spot them.There are several flying/sneak attack foes which are more challenging to beat.About every third level is a "boss" level where you have to defeat someone or something appproximately ten times your size--the trick seems to be to find the one spot on the foe that takes damage when you hit it (head, waist, knees, etc.) and duck a lot.What I enjoyed most about the game was finding the hidden portals and alternate routes to the end of a level.What I enjoyed least was the fact that save codes weren't given after every level, so if you got through a tough level but then died in the next, you had to do both all over again...*groan*Overall I'd say it was a good game, but I was able to beat it in a matter of days, and once I had done that and discovered all the hidden stuff, there wasn't much point in playing anymore.I'd definitely recommend playing it, because it was a lot of fun the first time through, but I'd advise renting or borrowing it first, to see if you like it enough to want to own it long-term.

Sweet adventure game

It's really cool.
I bought this game and love it I have played it thriugh entirely at least like 10 times. You have 3 ships all have special powers (i suggest the 3rd one it's my favorite) and you can earn a forth one. Once you beat all of the missions you get the original asteroids and a new ship. I highly recommend this game.

Kool game
This is a really good game. You have 3 ships to choose from, each with their own special things that they can do. The only thing that I think is bad is that the last zone is way too easy, and the fact that when you play in expert you don't get any special weapons. But the graphics are great and the whole storyline and gameplay is really cool. This is a great game.

Asteroids Strikes Back
This is a new cartridge for an old game. This means if you don't like original Asteroids, you'll not like this one too. But if you've fighted in a wireframe universe for years you cannot miss this one. Many new hazardsand enemies will cross your way, ready to be blasted out! There are fivespace systems to fight in, three ships (four, if you're good enough to winthe last one) each with its special defense, the original game hidden (notvery well) somewhere and passwords to keep progress made. So what you'rewaiting for? ... Read more

It's a great game
It's fun,but if you have it for N64,forget about getting it for game boy. It's great,but the graphics stink.

boring
This game has a good backround and idea, but it is exceedingly dull. You go arround jumping on cars and climbing buildings. Big deal. I would almost rather wach golf. If you want to burn money and be bored to death, buy thisgame.

Donald runs amuck, goes berserk, and gets hyper in this hilarious quest to rescue Daisy. The game features Daisy, Huey, Dewey, Louie, the Beagle Boys, and more. But be careful, you must control Donald's explosive temper while you confront wacky characters and obstacles. Run, jump, smash, attack, and butt stomp 90 different enemies. ... Read more

Fun game.
When I bought this game I just bought it for the looks.But it turned out to be exeptionally good game.The graphics 8/10, Sound 9/10, Gameplay 10/10, Fun 9/10.So its great.

Grappling can never replace jumping . . .
I never played the original Bionic Commando, so I cannot acurately compare it to this remake. What I'm told, though, is that the female commando is new. Have been an avid gamer since the days of the Atari 2600.
I bought this game for only one reason, because I love the original NES version soo much.The original NES version was a perfect side scroller action game that you can play over and over without getting tired of it.I was a little disapointed with the Gameboy Color version but after a while, it begins to grow on you. It may not be as good as the NES version but this game is still worth buying. ... Read more

Classic
I used to have a really old Gameboy, those big, huge gray ones. This was the first game I got for myself. The thing that I think is messed up is the fact that you can't save the game, so I never get to start off were I left off. I suggest this game to kids who are just starting playing Gameboy.

Great game for little kids!

Back in my day.....
which wasnt a long time ago, but this 'shakey flakey' game boy animation was just putrid. From any stand point you would look at a slurgs (aka the lil green blobby things that come out of the blue and eat you for no reason) and youd think it was the FOLLOWING: A.) A BLOB OF GREEN SLOG (Those freaking ... of a dog) CRAP, B.) A PLANT OR C.) WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? In short? My review goes only to that the animation sucked, and that the plot was scarcilly short, stanky, and the only reason I wouldnt give it a LOWER rating is because those damned sligs were kickin .... Oh yes and being a true fan of Simpsons I must end my review as so....

Oddworld IS a letdown
I have the first in this series for my playstation.This translation into gameboy color is disappointing.The only thing that gave it 2 stars instead of 1 or 0 was that the characters can say four phrases. Even for gameboy color, it shouldn't be THIS bland and boring.

Not for younger players
For those who prefer simpler games (run, jump, point, shoot) this game is not for you.Learning the controls to talk to other Mudokons will be frustrating to both children and the impatient alike.It will be nearimpossible for those who cannot read yet.For non-English speaking peoplethere is the option to select a different language, which I thought wascool.I forgot what they all were, but other languages include German,Spanish, French and maybe Italian. ...
