The 19 freely downloadable submissions were created for GameBoy Classic, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance and GP32, and the maximum allowed filesize for the binary was 256k, which added some challenge into the competition." Highlights include Battle Picross (screenshot) for GameBoy Advance and ToyToy (screenshot) for GameBoy Color.

  1. Picross? by Kris_J · · Score: 2, Funny

    Everyone knows that Battle Picross is a rip-off of Mario no Picross right? I'm assuming that the games didn't need to be original, but Mario's Picross was released for the original Gameboy way back when, so I doubt the 256k limit was too much of a problem.
