Namco decided in 1984 to create a maze game with fantasy elements for Japanese arcades. That game was called The Tower of Druaga (ドルアーガの塔 Doruāga no Tō) and would become a beloved series in Japan. Several ports and sequels followed! Join Mat as he looks back at the series and reviews the Game Boy port of the game!
This is the 109th episode of Boyographic, the series looking to highlight the highs and lows of the Gameboy library, playing the hits and the misses so you don't have to!

Looney tunes is an odd game. Created by Sunsoft for the Nintendo Gameboy in 1992, it feels more like a proof of concept for the Looney Tunes games that followed it, but despite its frustrating controls and spotty level design, Looney Tunes is over all, a pretty fun game.
This is the 7th episode of All The Glory, the Long Play Series with no deaths, no commentary, but All The Glory! From start to end, we play the rare, the valuable & the classic games so you can make up youre mind if theyre something to spend your hard earned pennies on!
