ExtremeRate Shells – Game Boy Color (Wood Grain) Review
The humble Game Boy Color is an 8-bit handheld console that was an upgrade to the DMG Game Boy and Game Boy Pocket. It was only slightly bigger than the Game Boy Pocket. Yet it ran on only two AA batteries, and with an original screen could boast impressive battery life. Back in the late 90’s the fact that the screen didn’t have a front light or a backlight was a minor annoyance.…

Unlike other games where physical media could’ve saved it, with servers shutting down and the lack of third-party servers, this game is just lost media now.…

That is until the journalists poked around, assuming it the game’s delisting had to do with its soundtrack, which featured Turn Up The Radio by Autograph during the final boss, and that turned out to be the exact reason.…
Online-Only Rocket Arena To Shutter Next Week
No surprise here — Electornic Arts is giving the middle finger to gamers and preservationists in unison as Rocket Arena, a game that was delisted back in November, is getting its server shut down. The 2020 3v3 shooter is, of course, online-only, meaning once servers shut down, the game is unavailable to play in any capacity.…
