HAL Wrestling - Nintendo Game Boy

I had a blast revisiting this retro wrestling game on long car rides—the grapple mechanics are simple but surprisingly satisfying for a Game Boy title.

The battery life on this cartridge is impressive—I played for hours without it dying. The roster of wrestlers is small but each has a distinct moveset. For a quick match on the go, this game really delivers.

The grapple moves are surprisingly responsive for a Game Boy title, and the portability means I can sneak in a quick match during my commute. It’s a straightforward, no-frills wrestling game that nails the classic feel without overcomplicating things.
