Game Details:
The madness of trying to keep a marble balanced atop narrow, obstacle-filled pathways makes its way from the Arcades to the palms of your hands with Marble Madness for the Game Boy Color.
After plugging the game in, firing up your system and progressing past the title, you'll see an option screen that lets you start the game, observe a demonstration, or reconfigure the sound effects, music and angle of your control pad commands. Unlike the original Arcade game, which featured simultaneous combative play, there is no two-player mode in this version.
Your goal in each level of Marble Madness is to safely steer your marble through twisting mazes, steep ramps, dangerous enemies and hazardous drops, eventually crossing the finish line. There are numerous tunnels and chutes in the various mazes and pathways that will send your marble to a different area of the course.
Marbles are free and unlimited in number, but when an enemy destroys your marble or your marble falls off a cliff, you lose valuable seconds. If you run out of time in any course, it's game over. If you perform exceptionally well, your marble will sometimes be "charmed" with extra time.
You score points in Marble Madness by finishing levels, completing the entire game, dropping through chutes, landing on painted blocks, passing the finish line with extra time left on the clock, and defeating Steelie, a black marble that is basically your arch enemy. Other enemies and obstacles include: Marble Munchers, which hop up and down trying to swallow your marble; Vacuums, which can suck up your marble piece by piece; and Acid Pools, which dissolve your marble on contact.
In most of the levels, your marble starts off at a high altitude and it goes down the course, rolling down slopes, pathways and ramps. However, in the Silly Level, the game's rules are reversed and you go up the course. Also, the enemies and obstacles are smaller and can be destroyed. Each Silly Level impediment that you defeat adds three seconds to your time.
Let the madness (and the silliness) begin with Marble Madness for the Game Boy Color!

Game Details:
Fourteen years after it became an arcade hit, Paperboy makes its way to Game Boy Color, minus the handlebars and shrunk down several size factors.
In Paperboy, you control a bicycle-riding paperboy whose weapon of choice is a rolled up newspaper. Your turf is a street filled with dangerous obstacles like fire hydrants, cats, cars and kids on tricycles. Your job is to avoid these nuisances and deliver newspapers to all subscribers while breaking the windows of non-subscribers.
Points are earned for each paper delivered (accuracy counts), damaging non-subscribers' houses and hitting bystanders. There is also a bonus training course at the end of each street which can earn you extra points.
Each level consists of one day on your route. At the end of each day, some houses will cancel their subscriptions and others will subscribe depending on your performance.
Paperboy contains three levels of difficulty: Easy Street, Middle Road and Hard Way.

Game Details:
It is a time of war and great darkness. The Sultan has gone off to lead his troops in a foreign war. Meanwhile the Grand Vizier Jaffar has taken control of Persia in the Sultan's absence. Throughout the land, the people hide in terror and ache for better days. Days when the wise and good Sultan ruled.
Then a young prince arrives from a far away land. He has no knowledge of the evil that is taking place. All he knows is that he has won the heart of the Princess, unwittingly making a enemy of the power mad Jaffar.
On his orders, the young prince is arrested, stripped of all his possessions and thrown into the deepest, darkest part of the Sultan's dungeon. The poor Princess is given an ultimatum and one hour to decide: marry Jaffar or die.
Her decision really doesn't matter. Either way, Jaffar gets the throne and the people will be treated to even more hardships. Worse still, true love will be denied because the man who would be Prince of Persia will die too.
In Prince of Persia by Redorb Entertainment you are the captured Prince. You have exactly one hour to get out of the dungeon and to the top of the tower to save the Princess. Along the way you will need to find your sword and collect different types of potions. Just be careful, not all potions are helpful.
You'll need all your wits because you will face many challenges ahead. You must solve puzzles, evade traps, scale the walls and duel with the palace guards, all in under five minutes in order to beat the one hour time limit.
Be careful, not everything is what it appears to be. Not only are you Persia's only hope, you are the Princess's as well. Stop the evil Jaffar and restore joy to the kingdom, if you can.
Super Mario Bros. Deluxe
Game Type: Action
4/4

Platform: Game Boy Color

Game Details:
Super Mario Bros. Deluxe contains four separate modes of gameplay: Original 1985, Challenge, Versus and The Lost Levels. In addition, there is a picture album and a "toy box" that contains a calendar, a fortune teller and a banner printer.

Original 1985 is Super Mario Bros., plain and simple. The only concession made in the conversion from the NES to the Game Boy Color is that entire height of the playfield doesn't fit on the screen all at once due to differences between the aspect ratios of the two systems. In certain cases, you have to scroll up and down to view objects above and below you. The most welcome addition to this Deluxe version is the ability to save your game after each level.

Mario's goal is to rescue Princess Toadstool from the clutches of the evil Bowser. Along the way, you'll face a variety of nasty enemies, including Goombas, Koopas, Bullet Bills and Hammer Brothers. Mario's main method of attack is to jump on top of enemies, but much needed power-ups will aid you in your quest. Mushrooms make you grow to more than double your normal size, giving you extra strength and the ability get hit once by an enemy without dying. Fireflowers give you the power to shoot fireballs, and stars make you invincible for a limited amount of time. The game is divided into eight worlds, and each of these worlds is divided into four stages, for a grand total of 32 different levels.

Challenge mode adds new goals to each of the original levels. In order to fully complete each level in Challenge mode, you have to find five red coins, a Yoshi egg and reach a certain point total.

Versus mode lets you link up with a buddy in a race between Mario and Luigi. Your goal is to make it to the end of the level as quickly as possible while trying to stop your opponent. Both players will need a copy of Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and a Game Boy Color to participate, but there is also a one-player version than can be unlocked.

The Lost Levels is a special bonus game than can be unlocked. Released as Super Mario Bros. 2 in Japan, the game features the same gameplay as Super Mario Bros. with new worlds, a higher level of difficulty and an "anti-mushroom" that hurts you if you touch it. This game also appeared as "The Lost Levels" in Super Mario All-Stars for the Super NES.

The picture album contains artwork that is revealed when you perform specific tasks in the game, such as when you find a bonus stage or first stomp on a Koopa. The calendar acts as a basic scheduler, the fortune teller provides your with your future, and the banner printer allows you to print various Nintendo and Mario-related pictures. If you have a Game Boy Printer, that is.

Wario Land 3
Game Type: Action
4/4

Platform: Game Boy Color

Game Details:
Mario's evil twin returns! Wario, everyone's favorite miser, is back on the Game Boy Color, fighting once again to wrest first-string mascot status from "that other" Italian plumber.
Wario Land 3 finds our smarmy antihero in a pickle. Out enjoying a cruise in his private plane, Wario's engine sputters suddenly, sending him spiraling toward the ground in a curl of smoke. Confused and irritated, Wario takes shelter in a nearby cave, where he comes across a magical music box.
After being sucked mysteriously into the box, Wario happens into an odd-looking little guy who claims to have once ruled the world inside the music box. His kingdom has been taken over it seems, and overrun by nasty creatures. He needs his five smaller music boxes recovered in order to regain his magic powers. After wondering what this all has to do with him, our greedy gus Wario agrees to lend some muscle to the cause in exchange for all the treasure he can find, and a one-way ticket back home.
The gameplay in Wario Land 3 follows closely in the footsteps of its predecessors, and carries with it the traditional Wario twist: as before, Wario is completely invincible. But because Nintendo has shifted the emphasis of the game from simple survival to completing your quest, level layouts and puzzles have become more complex than in previous Wario or Mario games for the Game Boy.
Which isn't to say your enemies aren't to be feared. Across the five worlds Wario will have to explore, he'll run across baddies who have the capability to temporarily handicap Wario in nearly a dozen ways. For example, Wario may be electrocuted, set ablaze, inflated, frozen, flattened, rolled into a ball, and even engorged with doughnuts. Naturally, entering one of these undesirable states has its drawbacks, rendering you in many instances unable to control Wario for a few moments. However, there are several areas and items within the game that can't be reached unless you strategically stricken yourself with a particular condition.
Wario navigates across each world via a world map, a la Super Mario World. If you're ever stuck on where to go next, your godlike buddy at the temple will give you a tip. As in previous Wario or Mario games, there's often more than one way to complete a level. Completing it through different paths or procuring different special items usually results in the opening up of new areas on the world map. Other times, however, you'll have a new skill bestowed upon you. Wario may start out a bit dim and clumsy, but as you progress through the game, he'll have the ability to stomp on blocks and certain foes, he'll be able to pick items up and toss them, he'll even learn to swim like a pro. These abilities will uncover areas within the game that are otherwise inaccessible.
Beyond all this, there's even a mini-game in Wario Land 3. Revisiting the more eccentric aspects of Mario Golf, Wario must putt (re: kick) an enemy creature into a hole. A power meter at the bottom of the screen assists you with your "swing." Far from being a mere diversion, the golf mini-game is integral to progressing in your quest.
Wario Land 3 is a one-player game only, with a single save file. Your progress is saved for you either automatically after completing a level, or by saving your game yourself via the inventory screen.
