Gobs of Games (USA) (GBC)

Gobs of Games is an impressive collection featuring 10 classic Atari game titles, brought to the Game Boy Color system. Instead of focusing on a single genre, this compilation offers a wide variety of gameplay styles, ensuring players always find something engaging. Each title within the collection is faithfully recreated, maintaining the spirit and challenge of its original Atari 2600 counterpart, but optimized for the GBC's smaller screen and control scheme.

Players can immerse themselves in thrilling space battles in Asteroids, where they must pilot a spaceship to destroy asteroids and UFOs. If you enjoy quick reflexes and agility, Centipede will challenge your ability to eliminate giant centipedes and other creatures. For those seeking puzzle-solving challenges, Breakout requires you to clear bricks using a ball and paddle.

Other included titles feature Missile Command, where you defend cities from incoming missiles; Tempest, a colorful vector-graphics tunnel shooter; Battlezone, a first-person tank combat experience; and Gravitar, where you navigate a spaceship through gravitational environments. Notably, the collection also includes two Activision icons: Pitfall!, a classic adventure platformer starring Harry as he navigates obstacle-filled jungles, and River Raid, a vertical-scrolling shooter where you pilot a fighter jet over a river. Finally, Warlords offers a simple yet engaging strategy experience, defending your castle from fireballs.

With such diversity, Gobs of Games is not just a nostalgic trip back to the golden era of video games but also a rich treasure trove of entertainment, suitable for both new players and long-time Atari fans alike.
