Tem uns jogos que são legais, tem outros que são mais ou menos mas o saldo é positivo. A trilha sonora é bem legal tbm.
Freecell é bom demais.
Queria não ser péssimo em campo minado.
Demorou mais pra zerar que Twinbee 3 e Twinbee Da! ahuahuahuauah

I love the idea of some middle-aged guy in 2001 buying a Game Boy Color just for this game so he can play FreeCell on the train to work
This is a pretty cool oddity, it's a few of those classic Windows 95/98-era games that everyone's dad had, but shrunk down for the Game Boy. The handheld market was no stranger to demakes of popular games, but there's something unique (and more than a little charming) about the presentation here. The main screen is a shrunk down version of the default Windows 95 UI, complete with that one shade of teal in the background and a Start button in the bottom-left. It's a small thing, but as someone who grew up around computers in the early 90s, I feel the presentation really elevates the experience.
Unfortunately, the selection is a bit odd. FreeCell, Minesweeper, and SkiFree are solid inclusions (and the animations in SkiFree are actually quite smooth), but who thought that we needed TicTactics instead of Solitaire or Hearts? I guess they might not have wanted too many card games, but was anyone really picking this up for Tripeaks on the go?
In any case, the Game Boy renditions of these PC classics are all faithful renditions and don't seem to be drastically inferior in any way. I'd say if you've got any nostalgia for Microsoft Entertainment Pack games, check it out for the novelty.
