CiB Game Boy Theater - Monopoly and Adventure Island II (Episode 79)
2The Original Game Boy is one of the biggest 'game changers' in the history of video games, and essentially ushered in the popularity of handheld games. There are many games that will be classic forever. There are, however, a much, much higher number of simply awful, forgettable, or downright weird games. CiB Game Boy Theater shows you some of the games you might not (and shouldn't be...) familiar with.
Monopoly! It's... Monopoly. I don't know what else to say about this game.
Adventure Island II is a pretty solid platformer with one seemingly fatal flaw - it's too hard. I was never a huge fan of the Adventure Island series, and I don't expect to just breeze through the game, but why am I dying 10 times on the second level? I do appreciate the amount of levels the game has, as well as the amount of items you can stack and use as needed. They did go above and beyond as far as a Game Boy version of a NES game is concerned. Thanks for watching!
