Fun, but no Mario Golf
Out of the three main Golf games I've tried out on Gameboy, Mario Golf, Hole in One, and Golf, I consider this one middle-ground.Hole in One Golf will work on either the GB Color, or the Pocket or Original, so if you don't have a Color yet, this one is an immediate pick over Mario.The game includes three courses of varying difficulty, with graphic quality ranging from fairly nice for the overhead course images, to fairly lousy for the side-view of your player hitting the ball. The play system is different that most other golf games I've seen and can take a little getting used to. The strength of the swing is determined by an arrow moving back and forth on a bar indicating how strong the hit will be, and you have to press the button when the arrow is at the strengh you want. Then an icon moves in a pattern over a picture of a golf ball, which you have to press a button on when it's on the location on the ball where you want to hit. Another deviation from most other games in the play moves left-to-right, rather than vertically. It's a little different, but doesn't take long to get used to. My only real gripe about the controls of the game is that when you go to hit the ball, it switches full-screen to an image of your golfer - you can no longer see the course, so if you didn't pay close attention to your distance from the hole it's easy to misjudge how much power you need in your swing. One odd feature of this game is the inclusion of "events," which basically means some character running out on the course and tossing your ball around this way or that. I suppose it adds an interesting twist to the game, but personally I just find it annoying and am glad it can be turned off.There is also a "tour" play mode, which allows you to see how you rank against other players on a roster. Also included is multi-player support via data cable. In a nutshell, if you have a Gameboy Color, I'd highly suggest spending a few more dollars on Mario Golf, it's a much better game. However, if you have one of the older systems, Hole in One has the fun of some nice graphics for the courses, multiple courses, close-ups of the hole as the ball goes in, and other nice things like that, even though the gameplay is a bit quirky. Owners of an Original or Pocket gameboy that would like a game that is a bit more realistic and challenging, although somewhat ugly, should look into the orininal Golf. ... Read more

this game is bad
dear readers DO NOT BUY THIS GAME in the begining the game was great then it became so easy if you want a challenging game don't get this one it is not good its impossible to get a base hit you get 1 base hit every 10 times you are up99% of the time you get a home run 0% of the time you steal a base you cant save the game so if you do season and you let's sayyou play 3season games then you shut it off you turn it back on it is erased that means you dont have those 3 games you played you can't make an erorr.

GOOD GAME!
ok this game rocks there are lot's of thing's to do in this game including home run derby and allstar and much more this game is worth every penny.

OK game
This game can be entertaining, but only for a while.The graphics are fine for Gameboy, but everything else is not very realistic.It is way too easy to win- home runs can be hit 25% of the time while at bat.The codes for accessing saved games are too complicated with strange letters and numbers.It is way too monotonous of a game, and is not worth buying. ...

information about the game
I don't own a pocket bowling game by Jaleco. Iwould like some informationon the product. Is it an handheld. If so how bigis it and what featuresdoes it have to play the game. I thankyou for any help I can get. Mydaughter enjoyed the hand heldgame she had. It was easy to play.

Pocket Bowling
This is a very enjoyable game that can be played by everyone in the family. However, a password system is used to continue on with a high score in the Tournament portion. I would have liked it better if you could haveadded your name with a high score as you can in Frogger.

Pocket Bowling
This game is for a kind of person that can really get into a game. It's gameplay is simple, but fun, because you only control 3 factors of where the ball goes. It uses a password feature, so you can't really save acertain place. The reason I give it only a 3, is that there are only 2modes of play, which are basically the same. ... Read more

In soccer You don't score 8-0
No matter what level of difficulty I put it on the game is way to easy. All you have to do is take a shot from the slightest angle and then the goalie will fly way left or right of the ball. It automatically goes in. NO FUN.

fun
I am a huge soccer fan, and this is a great game. Yet I give it a four because at first, I thought it was a little difficult to understand how to work it but once i got the hang of it i couldn't put it down. They should make more soccer games for game -boys by the way i'm a girl.

Pretty good!
I thought this game was reasonable. A was always caught playing with my atomic purple game boy late into the night.What I liked best about this game was it was realistic and always challenging I recommend other soccer games (Fifa 1999, Mls Shootout I think). This game deserves a sequel and a playstation or nintendo game buy this game it is worth the money. ... Read more

"I Can't Believe It's Not Mario!"
One of the first things I noticed when I started this game up for the first time was how much it looks like Mario Golf. So close, in fact, I could swear these guys took the Mario Golf game engine and made a few modifications to sort-of put Tiger Woods into it (or "Junior Tiger" as you see when you start the game - you get to play against the "adult" Tiger Woods as an "opponent," although you don't get the Mario-style side-by-side play). Although the basic gameplay and graphics are very similar, I found a lot of things lacking in Cyber Tiger compared to Mario - the first being that it uses a password save instead of a battery - I HATE password saves, and automatically take marks off for it - and Cyber Tiger's is especially annoying because it's 16 characters long.I also enjoyed the player-vs-CPU games that Mario offers - this is does not appear to an option here, although two players can link up their gameboys with a cable.Cyber Tiger offers three courses, and 3 modes of play; Stroke, Career, and Rapid Fire. Rapid Fire is a mode I haven't seen yet in other games - you have to land your ball in the hole before a timer runs out.If you've got something against Mario and Luigi, this game will probably be one of the next best choices to get similar gameplay - but for most, I'd have to say just get Mario Golf instead. ...

Snowmobiles on the gameboy, finaly
For years we never saw any racing games on any system that didn't involvecars. That seems to have changed, with new racing style games coming outevery month, Polaris Snowcross sheds some light on the widely popular yetlittle known sport of snowmobile racing. For game boy game this title isgood. It has decent graphics, easy to use controls, and a wide variety oftracks to race on. As you grow as a racer and improve your rank, newpolaris models become available to you. Multi-player only adds to theexperience, letting you spar a friend with the link system. A great titlefor anyone who likes racing or snowmobiles and has a game boy.

Very Fun Game.You Don't have to read this, go buy it NOW!
I have played this game over and over, and have found it to be very challenging and fun.I see no downpoints to it. It has upgradable sleds, top down racing with forced perspective, and great challenge! POLORIS SNOCROSS
This game is very fun because you need practice with the controls and it takes time to get good at some of the levels. This game is a racing game but for snowmobiles.If you like snowmobiles you will probobly like thisgame.It is much like some other racing games but there is always a levelthat takes some time to beat.I think, overall this game is very fun andexciting for the snowmobile lover. ...

Pretty Good
This game is a pretty good baseball game, but it should have more features. Some of these features are trades, average and stat calculation, better graphics, etc. If you just like a simple baseball game, then this game is for you.

OK
This game is great for people who do not know much about baseball. This game gives me trouble sometimes to throwthe ball and it is really hard to get a hit or even harderto hit a home-run. i would not say this is the best baseballgame out there.

An old-school ball game
All-Star Baseball 2000 for GBC reminds me of the old-school baseball games from the days of the NES, but it is generally good. Two annoying things with this game: the uniformity of the players' look and the sluggishness of the defensive plays. However, the graphs are good and the possibility of plays is interesting.Read more

Great Pool Game !!!!
I was extremelly suprised at the addictiveness of this game! (For me anyway)The grafix of this this game are not bad for Color Game Boy's small screen.You can't see the numbers on the balls, but the game let's you know which ball to hit next on the screen if you haven't memorized which number goes with which color ball.It even gives you the option of British billiards and all the rules of each game.So you can learn how to play each game in real life too.Over all, I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys playing pool.Especially if you can't always get to the pool hall!!

A small screen hides a serious and authentic game.
When I first saw this on Amazon, there were no reviews and the screen shots were disappointing. Gameboy's small screen I thought would be insufficient for a game like pool. I took a chance anyway and bought it. I was very pleasantly surprised that the game is actually very serious and authentic. You can play against a friend via link cable or against the computer opponents, but I really liked the option of playing a "practice" game where you don't have to play against anybody. The sound effects are sharp and the selectable music is a great mood-setter for the game. The graphics are really quite good and I became used to the small screen (Some games don't make it on Gameboy Color's screen, maybe Gameboy Advance will improve them?) I recommend this game for Pool fans and am impressed with its control and options for setting up a good shot.

GR8 GAME< IF YAH LIKE POOL< DON'T HESITATE!
This is a cool game! The only reason why I put 4 stars is because the controls are a little confusing, but hey, I'm a young gal and I figured it out! Dont hesitate to buy this game if you are a pool game! You can face up to 64 apponents, there are about 8 different kinds of game maches you can play! You can play with 64 different computerized players of different leves or with a friend, no GBC link needed, you just swich of the GBC and play! Also, a big part of the game is hustling, playing for money! When you get good enough, you can play for ownership of the pool hall! Sounds good so far? U've bet! Hope this review helps! p.s. dont hesitate bying this game because there aren't many reviews, it's a good one, trust me! ... Read more

Cute game but very difficult
I received this game as a gift. I played it and the graphics are pretty good for Game Boy Color. But it is very difficult I cannot understand how to do anything in this game. I gave it to my son to play and he cannot either. I serve the ball and my players just stand there and do nothing until the game is over. Like most Game Boy Games the instructions were not much help either giving only general instructions - Do not put the cartridge in backward. Do not put the cartridge in your mouth. Etc.

Impossibly Difficult
This is a pretty cute little game. The graphics are pretty good. But for me it is impossibly difficult. I cannot do anything in the game! Even my son could not figure out how to play it. As with most game boy games the instructions were no help either. It only has general information. IE: Don't put the cartrige in backward. Don't put it in your mouth or you might choke. Etc.

Great Game
This Game Is Great! I would prefer it to volleyball players. The game lets you jump serve and your basic bump set spike. When you play the championship and beat it you get a super jump serve a spin spike etc.. and a new court to play on. This is a great game! ... Read more

not worth it!!!!!!!!!
Don't buy this game! Because first, you cant trade players or you cant sign free angets. 2nd the players look like they dont have helmets!!! 3rd there is no franchise and you cant make the gameplay hard. Every game you win by over 50 points. Your O-Line dosent block because when you wait in the pocket you will always get sacked! There is no person talking during the game! You dont here John Madden. Trust me during the season you will get very very bored! Listen to my advice and I hope this review helped you alot....

Not really a good gbc translation
I loved the computer version of madden 2001 but the game boy game just does not cut it. The graphics are moderate and the sound is ok, but the gameplay is just boring. The password season thing is horrible, as you have to remember a 15 letter password that changes each time you play a game just to get into a season. Bad
I do not recommend this game because I think your're better off buying Madden 2000! This game has bad graphics and there is no gameplay. ... Read more

Good, but soooooo unrealistic
Ok, its fun, and like the only gameboy game i play.But its not like real snowboarding at all.You can't ride switch for more than one second on the courses, and in the pipe, you cant land switch.When u land, u just suddenly are riding regular again. And the music is awful, and theres no rails. I know i make it sound awful, but if u want some fun, go 4 it.

Just Ok, but not bad.
This game is better than SHAUN PALMER'S PRO SNOWBOARDER. The graphics pack more detail, and the courses have a better design. However, for an MTV game, there is very little music that is actually audible. The game is ok, but is not all that it could be. ... Read more

boring
I had never tried a hunting game before but this is terrible. you go into the wild and look for deer droppings. when you see some you look around for a deer. wait one will come, then shoot it with either a crossbow or gun. then you do it again. sooo boring.

Don't make a mistake
I made a mistake buying this game. Its way to easyand it gets boring after a while. The deer just get right in front of the gun and stand there. Also, you can't even tell if it's a big deer or not. I tink you are wastingyour money buying this boring game. Only thing getting it higher than onestar is the subject matter

Deer Hunter GB Color

Hi
Hi again

What kind of game is this?
konami has accomplished nothing by making this game. what a waste of plastic and microchips. in hopes that this hockey game would be good, it isn't! you might as well forget taking the puck to the opposing goal because chances are you won't even make it that far. konami should stop making hockey games and stick to games that don't involve much thought in producing. all this game is good for is wedging it under the leg of an unbalanced table or chair. if you are a loser, then this game is for you.

Worst ever!
This is a shockingly bad game, especially since Konami is known for previous games that were good.The play is too fast, players and puck are just blurs.You can't see a thing, let alone play the game. There'sprobably a much better hockey game out there for regular old fashoned,black and white Gameboy. ... Read more
