The more rare, obscure, or just a guilty pleasure, the better. Maybe you grew up with it, maybe it’s just the nostalgia talking, any reason is fine.
I’m looking for a new game to play, but I’m running out of games to collect!
My favorite is games for original DMG, but you’re welcome to include Color it’ll advance games too!
I picked this one up when I was in high school. Never did get rescued… I looked the other day and prices for this one are pretty high, so apparently we’re not the only ones who remember it!
Edit: And apparently there’s a lot of sequels? Who knew? I guess it was called Lost in Blue later on. They all sound like they have the same basic story…

I just looked at the prices on eBay and I have no idea what’s going on over there. Are those accurate going-rate prices? I’m pretty sure I bought mine off the “games no one has ever heard of and will not buy” sale rack once upon a time, haha!
I had no idea there were sequels! Thanks for that bit of info
For ebay prices are sometimes meaningless unless you filter by “sold items”. But yeah looks like they’re going for around $100-$170
Price Charting has it broken down by type. That site isn’t 100% accurate by a long shot (notably it doesn’t really factor in condition), but it’s helpful for a rough idea. I saw it had the complete game at over $400.
I’m guessing the game is popular with collectors for being a “rare gem” of the Game Boy library (since it’s both rare and actually a pretty good game). Clicking around, I see it in some rare Game Boy Color game lists—along with Shantae, which I strongly considered picking up back in the day from Electronics Boutique for like $20 and decided “nah.”
