Pretty sneaky: Bowling / Connect Four / Pinball / Mindbuster | Game Boy Works Gaiden 14

Four more Microvision games, almost all of which are based on external concepts. Bowling and Pinball you've heard of, but have you ever played them in such limited, unsatisfying renditions? Probably not! Connect Four makes a courageous attempt to display multiple colors on a 1-bit screen. And Mindbuster... well, that's actually kind of original and new, mostly? I remind you that this all looks pretty meager and primitive by 2025 standards. But in 1979? This was hot stuff. It was simpler times. And we still used leaded gasoline.
