These are strange and unsettling times across the globe as we all go into Lockdown. I'll be trying to upload a video a day if I can just to do my bit to make social distancing slightly more tolerable. Please respect the guidelines and let's all get through this together.

This is Pitman on the GameBoy. It is an interesting puzzle platformer. You control your character with the D-Pad and the only button use is to "Rewind" your moves if you make a mistake which is nice as it means you can correct any mistakes. Essentially you need to walk into the enemies but without the ability to jump and various obstacles in your way you need to carefully plot your route through the levels.

I play it here through the Super GameBoy in order to show the game a little clearer. For some reason my capture card always seems to struggle with the SNES (and therefore the Super GameBoy) not sure why as everything else pretty much works fine through it. I'll try and work out what the issue is as I have quite a lot of original GameBoy games I was thinking of uploading videos of.

I'm also thinking of doing a series of videos on specially enhanced Super GameBoy compatible games - including the very clever game and programming designed to maximise the use of colour while remaining compatible with the original monochrome handheld, multiplayer modes, enhanced sound and even a hidden game. Let me know if you'd like to see this sort of thing.

As always if you enjoy this video let me know. As always this is running on original hardware. Also let me know if there are particular games or systems you'd like to see.

As always this is uploaded under the Fair Use Policy - no money is being made from this video.
