    Episode 366: Modern Gameboy Games

    01/04/2026 | 1h 58 mins.
    They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but clearly they were not referring to the Game Boy and Game Boy Color. The hosts Jim Middleton,, Chris O'Regan, and Chris Worthington of the Retro Asylum put this to theory to the test....again by taking a look at a few recently released games for the now almost 40 year old handheld. Games covered include Fix My Heart, Lunar Lancer, Black Tower Enigma, Deep Dungeon, Black Castle II, and Glory Hunters.
