Paperboy, Game Gear
The 1991 Game Gear version of Paperboy looks and plays somewhat similar to the Sega Master System version, which is no bad thing because the Master System version is one of the best conversions of Paperboy around.
Paperboy, Atari Lynx
The 1990 Atari Lynx version of Paperboy is pretty good in terms of looks and gameplay. It’s not perfect, but the small screen doesn’t hurt the game too badly. When blown-up the screenshots look a bit indistinct, but during play the visuals work fine.
Paperboy, Game Boy
There was a release of Paperboy for the original Game Boy in 1990, plus it was also released for the Game Boy Color in 1999.
Adventure Island II, Game Boy
Adventure Island II on the Game Boy is actually a port of Adventure Island III on the NES/Famicom. The Game Boy Adventure Island numbering scheme ignores the first game in the series and this 1993 handheld conversion is the rather excellent part three for the NES/Famicom, but re-titled as part two for the OG Game Boy. Because it’s always fun to confuse people with mismatched titles in a series…

Dr. Franken, Game Boy
Developed by Motivetime and published by KEMCO in 1992, Dr. Franken is a platform game based loosely on Mary Shelley‘s classic horror story, Frankenstein, but delivered in a satirical, humorous manner.
The Flintstones: BurgerTime in Bedrock, Game Boy Color
The Flintstones: BurgerTime in Bedrock is a crossover between Data East‘s classic arcade game, BurgerTime, and the famous cartoon show, The Flintstones. It was developed by Conspiracy Entertainment and published by Classified Games for the Game Boy Color in 2000. It’s basically BurgerTime with Flintstones graphics, but it isn’t even a particularly good version of BurgerTime.
