Lungfluke Enters the 1990s

First, we got a microwave oven in 1999, and now, in the glorious year of 2004, I am finally the proud owner of a Game Boy Color system.

While all of you other rotten BitSmackers prattle on and on about your GBA SP’s connected to your GameCubes connected to each other over your high-speed internet connections connected to your Xboxes and PS2’s and a zillion other gamers around the world, I’m playing…

(…dramatic pause…)

Kirby’s Dream Land!

Oh, I’m not jealous. I enjoy playing dippy little Nintendo titles in simulated color (since this game is a B&W game for the original Game Boy). I enjoy living in the past. I enjoy playing Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the zillionth time. Why would I want something new, with all that crappy 3-D and full-frame-rate video and beautiful sound?

OK, maybe I am a little bitter. I’d love to have the money to have all these new games, and the time to play them… but I don’t. So, this Kirby game suits me perfectly. I can sneak in a few levels while I’m on the crapper, and I can win the thing in way less than an hour. Plus, Kirby positively cracks me up! Sucking in bad guys and spitting them back out… a classic Nintendo acid trip!

I’ll be expanding my GBC library over the next few months. Be sure to check out my reviews here on BitSmack. (BTW, do I still need to finish the games before writing a review?)
