This one has been sitting in my to-do queue for something like half a year, so I finally decided to just brace up and do the danged thing. Now I can move forward with Game Boy Works, hooray.

I guess I need to do the same and power through Mortal Kombat Trilogy for N64...

Battle Bull & Navy Blue 90 retrospective: Not so bullish | Game Boy Works #116

They say you have to walk before you can run, and in Game Boy Works, we need to slog through some mediocrity before we get to the good stuff. Neither of these games is terrible by any means; Battle Bull feels like an update to Sega's Pengo or Irem's Kickle Cubicle, while Navy Blue 90 is, y'know, Battleship. However, both end up being let down by some questionable creative choices and frustrating technical issues. Neither lives up to its real potential. Video Works is funded through Patreon (http://www.patreon.com/gamespite) — support the show and get access to every episode up to two weeks in advance of its YouTube debut! And be sure to check out the Retronauts podcast (http://www.retronauts.com), where I (and many others!) tackle a much wider array of classic gaming topics each week.
