Just one more entry to go before we shift focus from Game Boy for a while, and this penultimate video is… a little bit of a letdown. If you enjoy A Boy and His Blob, you'll surely, um… experience a mild sense of tolerance for The Rescue of Princess Blobette.

The Rescue of Princess Blobette retrospective: About a boy, and a blob | Game Boy Works #111

Another Game Boy follow-up to an NES game appears this week, and it's just as compromised and frustrating as you've come to expect. The Rescue of Princess Blobette consists almost entirely of recycled material from A Boy and His Blob, but it's a much smaller game — and a more limited one. And slower. And more cramped. And it sounds a lot worse. But on the plus side, uh… well, it won't melt down your Game Boy, probably. So that's something.
