Hidden Gems

This is the first post of a reoccurring topic on "Hidden Gems." I will try to highlight little known or underrated games or websites that deserve another look.

This week I am highlighting a great site recommended to me by a friend, Game Boy Online, that allows the user to play your favorite, classic Game Boy games online for free! Now the site is not run by Nintendo or affiliated with them but it has games like Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening, Metroid II Return of Samus, and most of the Pokemon games.

That being said, there continue to be holes in the system namely saving. Most of the games "saved" aren't recoverable once you close your browser unless you create a game ID but the site says they are working on it and, if you have a few hours to kill why not spend it by helping Link battle through a temple or raise a Squirtle by a few levels? Even if you don't want to create an ID to save you can always play the other great games!
