Captain America And The Avengers (GBC)

The Red Skull has assembled an army of supervillains and other henchmen in a plot to take over the world. Along with battling generic enemies, players also face Klaw, the Living Laser, Whirlwind, a Sentinel , Wizard, the Grim Reaper, the
Mandarin , Juggernaut , Ultron , The Controller , the assassin
Crossbones and finally the Red Skull himself.
Players can choose to play as one of four members of the Avengers: Captain America , Iron Man , Hawkeye , and Vision. Each character can fight hand-to-hand, throw select items when on the ground, and use a ranged special attack, either a projectile weapon (Captain America's shield and Hawkeye's arrows) or an energy beam (Iron Man and Vision), known as that character's "Avenger Attack". During a jump, Captain America and Hawkeye can attack with a flying kick, while Iron Man and Vision instead attack by firing their energy beams at a 45 degree angle. Other Avengers, including the Wasp,
Quicksilver , Wonder Man, and Namor the Sub-Mariner , appear when special power-ups are collected, allowing those characters to temporarily assist the players' characters.

Game & Watch Gallery 3 (GBC)

Game & Watch Gallery 3 features five games based upon the Game & Watch brand of handheld games. Each game contains a 'Classic' mode, resembling the gameplay and presentation of the original Game & Watch title, and a 'Modern' mode, which contains revised graphics and additional features. When players accrue a certain number of points in each game, they earn 'stars' which can be used to unlock additional features, entries in an in-game gallery displaying animations of other Game & Watch titles, and six additional games; up to five stars can be earned in each mode and difficulty of each game, for a total of 150 stars. The initial games include:
Donkey Kong Jr. : Players rescue Donkey Kong from Mario by jumping on vines and collecting keys whilst avoiding enemies.
Egg: Players collect eggs from chutes inside a chicken house, in the order that they fall. In the 'Modern' version, points are earned picking up different kinds of food, with more points when they are baked at the right time.
Green House : Insects are trying to destroy plants on two levels of a greenhouse, and the player uses bug spray to take out the bugs before they eat the flora. In the 'Modern' version, Yoshi defends the garden from other enemies, and has additional powerups.
Mario Bros. : Mario and Luigi must move a series of packages along a conveyor belt and load cakes onto a truck without dropping them. In the 'Modern' version, an alarm rings that changes the direction of the conveyor belt.
Turtle Bridge : Players deliver packages across a chasm using a bridge of turtles. In the 'Classic' mode, the turtles used as a bridge dive under water when fish approach. In the 'Modern' mode, players also collect as many coins as they can, and can stand on floating clouds to access more coins.
By earning enough stars, players can unlock Donkey Kong II , Flagman, Judge, Lion , Spitball Sparky , and a unique version of Fire that features gameplay mirrored from its traditional format. These games are only playable in Classic mode and do not feature a Modern counterpart.


Home Alone 2 (GBC)

The player controls Kevin McCallister as he makes his way alone through New York City. Locations include the Plaza Hotel, Central Park, Kevin's uncle's townhouse and the streets of New York. Kevin fights enemies using a Slide, Flying Fist and Super Flying Fist moves; for weapons, he uses a Dart gun. Using a Necklace will cause walking enemies to slip off the screen (referencing a scene where Kevin uses the pearls from a necklace to trip up his pursuers). Powerups include Pizza Slices, Whole Pie, Cookies, Bells, Candy Canes and After Shave. 

Home Alone (GBC)

The Game Boy version of the game, similar to the SNES and NES versions, requires the player to evade confrontation with the Wet Bandits. Similar to the SNES version, the player has to gather up various items and then dump them into a laundry chute to deposit them into a safe. Sometimes, the player might resort to using the items the bandits planned to steal against them by dropping them on their heads, as well as instigate certain traps as in the movie (e.g. dropping a paint can on their heads). There are four levels in all, each taking place in a different area of the house, and each having a different item that the player must recover. The first level pertains to jewelry/gold/silver items, the second level has toys, the third level has various electronics, and the fourth level has various exotic pets that are both rare and expensive.

Jelly Boy (GBC)

Jelly Boy puts the player in the control of a jelly baby with morphing powers. His quest is to find various items inside a factory so that the elevator doorman will allow him to meet the person in charge. The most important items are musical notes, which serve both as an extra life (at 100 notes) as well as a one-hit shield (after a collision, the notes are lost, and further collisions result in death).


The Hunt For Red October (GBC)

The game featured deep sea combat, side-scrolling action, and cinematic sequences. The object is to evade destruction and eliminate saboteurs . The caterpillar drive is particularly useful for quietly escaping the enemy.

Rats! (GBC)

Rats! is a 2D platform video game designed for single-player where players play as the character Mr. Rez, described as "a radical yo-yo playing rat-for-hire assassin with an attitude and cool, black shades" who was an "awful assassin".

Rats! uses a password-based save system which allows players to resume their gameplay where they last left off by inputting the correct password for the level.

There are eighty-five levels included within the game. These levels are spread over five environments (themes/worlds) with each environment spanning fifteen levels and two bonus levels and having a time limit. Failure to complete a level within the allotted time will result in black devil enemies appearing.

Each of the environments has its own enemies and unique boss at the end of the level. Each level and boss becomes increasingly harder as the player progresses.


Terminator 2: Judgment Day (GBC)

Tintin In Gibet (GBC)

Tintin in Tibet is a video game based on the storyline of the same title from the series The Adventures of Tintin , the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé . It was one of a series of two games released, the other being Prisoners of the Sun.

Titus The Fox (GBC)

In the Game Boy Color version, the ability to stand on thrown objects as well as throw enemies was removed. Players could no longer enter through doorways in levels and a new gimmick was added that would cause walls and ladders to appear if the player walked on their invisible activation space. Also added were bonus stages where between levels which consisted of a linear path where the player picks up golden boxes which would increase their score.

Beethoven: The Ultimate Canine Caper (GBC)

Beethoven: The Ultimate Canine Caper is a side-scrolling and platform game. Beethoven's four puppies are missing so the player takes control of Beethoven, maneuvering him through the neighborhood to find them. 

Tetris Plus (GBC)

The game consists of two main modes, Classic Mode and Puzzle Mode. Classic Mode is a standard Tetris game. Puzzle Mode is a mission-based mode where the player must clear a pre-arranged puzzle layout in a limited time. Also included is an editor for making Puzzle Mode levels, and capability for competitive multiplayer in either game mode. The console versions also have a two-player Versus Mode, which is essentially puzzle mode with two players racing for the finish line.

Tetris Blast (GBC)

Each falling piece contains at least one bomb. Most contain one bomb, not in a position horizontally or vertically between other blocks (for example not in the center of an L, J, or T), but every eighth piece is made entirely of bombs. When rows of the playfield are filled, they do not disappear as in other games; the bombs within the row explode depending on how many rows are filled at one time. It is possible for rows to be filled with no bombs, which increases the size of the next explosion.

Tetris Blast uses the sticky style of line clear gravity, allowing pieces unconnected to anything to fall. This allows chain reactions.

Whenever a piece enters the playfield, four bombs arranged into the shape of an O tetromino will become a larger bomb. Unlike in The New Tetris, these transformations happen only after the field has settled after explosions and gravity, meaning that large bombs can be formed only in rows that still have a gap. Unlike in Lumines , large bombs cannot be made of overlapping blocks.

This version of Bombliss includes three modes of play. Training allows the player to set the gravity speed, and displays four pieces in the piece preview instead of one.


Tetris 2 (GBC)

As a variation of the Tetris concept, rather than having the objective of matching horizontal lines of blocks that descend from the top of the screen as tetrominos , the player matches the colors of the descending blocks (which include irregular tetromino shapes) to blocks already fixed on the game board, which causes blocks to disappear from the board when three blocks of the same color are matched, in a manner similar to the game Dr. Mario.

Tetris Attack (GBC)

Tetris Attack is a puzzle video game. The player must use an on-screen cursor to arrange colored blocks into horizontal or vertical rows – matching together three or more blocks of the same color will destroy them. Any blocks above cleared lines will fall, which can be used to cause chain reactions if they touch other matching blocks. The player can also earn combos, clearing more than three blocks in a single move. As the stage progresses, the blocks will begin to rise steadily towards the top of the screen, with new blocks generating from the bottom. Should the blocks touch the top of the playfield, the game will be over.

Taz-Mania (GBC)

One evening, Hugh Tazmanian Devil was telling his three children (Taz, his sister Molly and his brother Jake) an intriguing tale: Once there were huge giant seabirds that laid giant eggs which could feed a family of Tazmanian devils for over a year. There are also legends that somewhere along the island of Tasmania, there is a Lost Valley, where the giant seabirds still nest. Taz becomes fascinated by the prospect of the potentially large omelet and leaves in search for one of those giant eggs. Thus, the player must direct Taz across various stages in search for the Lost Valley and its Giant Bird.
