I definitely did not expect the first Sachen game to get a 100% score. I can't wait to see what happens with the others.

Games for this topic:

F-1 Race
Hal Wrestling
Lazlos' Leap
Nemesis
Ultima: Runes of Virtue
World Beach Volley

In stark contrast to the PS1 topic we have absolutely nothing holiday-themed for Game Boy this year. Well, maybe World Beach Volley could be holiday-themed for the southern hemisphere. Oh well, there's always next year, these topics will be going on for a long time. Happy Holidays from GAB About Games.

It's always nice to have one of those topics where the game I'm looking forward to playing doesn't turn out to be awful.

Games for this topic:

Galerians
Grinch, The
International Moto X
Pikinya Excellent
Pu-Li-Ru-La
Trick'N Snowboarder

It's the most holiday-themed topic of all time! Not only do we have everyone's favourite Christmas-hating grouch, we also have cute penguins and a snowboarding game. Heck, even Pu-Li-Ru-La is kind of Christmas-adjacent... I think. It's kind of hard to tell. I'm actually kind of looking forward to playing The Grinch, I've always been a huge fan of the original animated version. Happy Holidays to all from GAB About Games.

I was quite happy with all the ratings this week, especially 6 ratings for Flipull, which I had never even heard of before the topic.

Games for this topic:

4-in-1 Volume 1
Elevator Action
Gem Gem
Serpent
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan
Wave Race

I owned Wave Race at the time and played quite a bit of it, but I was surprised to realize I actually remember almost nothing about it other than that I wasn't a huge fan. We also have the first of the Sachen games here. Sachen created about 30ish Gameboy games, which they eventually packed into a series of 4-in-1 packs. Some of the games were previously released separately, and you might be wondering why we're not covering them that way, it's because as far as I can tell, only about half of their games were released outside the combo packs, and even then it's not clear if some of the releases were ever available commercially, so this just seemed to be the most sensible way to handle it.

Kingsley's Adventure becomes (I believe) the first game to get the highest possible squiggle bracket score. (For reference, 30 is the lowest possible and quite a few games have gotten it).

Games for this topic:

BattleSport
Megatudo 2096
Noon
ParanoiaScape
Running Wild
TearRing Saga

Running Wild is another one of those games that I played a bit of a long time ago, liked quite a bit, then got distracted from and never came back to, which always worries me that it may have aged poorly in the meantime. Paranoiascape also looks like an interesting game, and there's a fan translation available for TearRing Saga.
