Happy Halloween from Game Boy With A New Review - Alone In the Dark

Celebrate the Day of the Dead with a review of Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare for the Game Boy Color

Halloween is finally here! The day that we all dress up as our favorite ghoul, ghost or monster and play Game Boy! What? You’d rather go trick-or-treating or to a Halloween party than spend Halloween playing video games? Well, I guess I can’t blame you, but once you’ve brought home your candy haul and drying off from bobbing for apples, there is nothing better to end the spookiest night of the year than with a Game Boy Horror Game!

In honor of the occasion we bring to you a review of the most ambitious survival horror game released for any Game Boy system, Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare for the Game Boy Color.

The Alone in the Dark started in 1992 as one of the first survival horror games which spawned several sequels. In 2001 publishers Infogrames reinvented the franchise with Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare, with versions for all the major systems at the time, including the Game Boy Color. Instead of making a cheapie handheld knock-off of the console game, The New Nightmare is a richly designed high quality title that pushes the limits of the system. Unfortunately making a game this deep and rich, some sacrifices had to be made, and in this case it was gameplay.

Welcome to the House of Game Boy Horror. Read a review and play a game…if you dare!
