Out of the multitude of puzzle games that exist, Dr. Mario has never been a favorite of mine. This type of game makes the transition to Game Boy well, but playing this version is the worst way to go nowadays.

Another fast puzzle game. Lots of fun to be had, encoureges you to go on with self imposed challenge such as doing combos and destroying viruses in different combinations of pills. Pure instant gratification gameplay just how I like it.

Gran juego de puzzles que no entendía con cinco años, pero que he valorado con el paso del tiempo.

Venía con un multicartucho de ocho juegos que me regalaron.

it's dr. mario. i always felt like there was probably some way to play this game 'right' and tap into some deeper mechanic, but i really have no idea how to do that at all. feels like a falling block game for people who suck at them.

Pues dentro de lo que cabe está bastante bien. Es un juego de puzzles entretenido que cuenta con 20 niveles.
Los niveles del 18-20 parecen imposibles pero se pueden pasar con ingenio debido a que la estructura de los niveles sí está muy bien construida.
El juego se basa en destruir bichos(que al final resultan ser Aliens) de 3 colores distintos(en este caso por la gameboy solo es blanco, negro y un tercero con manchas de ambos colores). Los eliminas mediante las pastillas que lanza Mario en la pantalla, tú misión es acomodar las pastillas para que queden 4 de cada color, esto se puede conseguir tanto vertical como horizontalmente.
No lo consideraría mejor que tetris, siento que Tetris es perfecto y no puede ser superado, pero está bastante bien y la música está buena.

It's always been hard for me to rly play the Game Boy version of Dr. Mario. I'm not the best Dr. Mario player ever, hell I'm not even that good at Dr. Mario, but I enjoy the game quite a bit. I discovered a rom hack that makes the game in color & adds new doctors to the game (You know I had to play as Dr. Wario...the BEST doctor). It puts it up there with the Famicom version of Dr. Mario imo. You're still playing at a lower resolution and the game does kinda run worse but Fever does have that extended part that was added to the Game Boy version and all future parts..and again...Dr. Wario.

Not sure why you would play this on Game Boy. :(
