Benn Venn Game Boy Cart Dumper

Another device I've been wanting to get for a while was a Game Boy Card ripper. There are a few varieties of these, but I went with the Benn Venn Joey Jr. The key feature here, is the ability to copy off Saved files. I can get ROMs anywhere, what I really want is to preserve my old Save Files. This device does Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advanced titles. The most important title worked right off the bat. My original Pokemon Blue is not preserved forever with my original Charizard. There are ways to get these…

Review – Battle Arena Toshiden (GB)

1-2 Players Fight to be the ultimate fighting master in this uh.. fighting game!  I haven't played any other Battle Arena Toshiden Games, so I can't really comment on how close this comes.

Review – Shadowgate Classic (GBC)

1 Player Graphics: 6/10 I'm sure they would be a bit better if I had a GBC to play this game on, however since I only have an original black and white GB, it kind of limits the graphics.  Also some of graphics aren't all that great.  The perspectives seem weird, ect.  They are identical to the NES version of this game.  The menu set up is different, but this is more to accommodate the smaller GB screen. Music and Sound: 6/10 Not all that many sound effects.  Doors opening, the occasional fire blast.  It's not much of an action…
