I should preface this by saying I had the privilege of playing this on an actual Gameboy because a friend bought me a bootleg reproduction cartridge of the game. However, Grimace's Birthday is free on mobile and online. The game is a very short platformer, you can beat it in an hour. But putting length aside, if this game had come out 24 years ago during the GBC's heyday, it would be considered a cult classic. Def worth checking out if you enjoy handheld games from that period. It's also just nice to see some of these characters again. I know they're hollow fast food mascots, but I admit I have nostalgia for them. As the late, great Mayor McCheese once said "Nothing can kill the Grimace".
