Battletoads & Double Dragon Game Boy

Playing this on my original Game Boy and the sprite work holds up surprisingly well for a portable title. The difficulty curve is brutal, but that's exactly what I remembered from the console version.

The co-op mode on this cart is way more fun than I expected, especially the hoverbike level where you have to dodge those speeder walls. Sprites look sharp on the original Game Boy screen too, no blur at all.

Brought this on a road trip and the action translates shockingly well to the small screen—the button layout is responsive enough for all those crazy beat-em-up combos. Only wish the cartridge had a save feature, but for a quick pick-up-and-play session it's perfect.
