You youngsters won't appreciate just how good we thought these graphics were back when it was released. Monochrome screen AND no backlight! We squinted through the levels!

  • It's still a mystery to me how they did what they did with the humble GameBoy!

    Dot matrix AND stereo, cuttin' edge man, cuttin' edge! I remember when Game & Watch was pretty cool (old man alert!), now I get annoyed because my latest 3DS game is not in 3D.

  • Yeah, even turning the contrast all the way down sqeezing those last few precious minutes out of dying batteries! Good times!

  • If you left it in the Sun when it was hot (or you were abroad on holiday) you had to turn the contrast down as the pixels went really dark for some reason!

  • Retro games can be enjoyed today. Its time to put away call of duty and those fancy battlefields when you win istantly and mindlessly cause destruction. its time to play some donkey kong!

  • This game definitely looks really good. The only problem is you can't see what you're doing or everything around you! These enemies blend in with the background, and the camera is so zoomed in that sometimes you'll get hit by enemies before they even show up on-screen. This is the perfect example of graphics over gameplay. Good graphics don't make a good game!
