NBA All-Star Challenge - Nintendo Game Boy

I was pleasantly surprised by how well this Game Boy cartridge plays basketball on the small screen — the controls feel responsive and the game picks up quickly. It's a simple, fun pickup for anyone wanting a quick dose of retro sports action without the hassle of a manual or box.

I popped this into my Game Boy and the controls are surprisingly responsive for a sports game on this system. The gameplay moves at a good pace, making pickup games feel quick. Definitely worth it for some on-the-go hoops action.

The battery life on this cart is solid for a Game Boy title—I played through several full games on my commute without it dipping once. For a loose cartridge, the pins were clean and it clicked in without any wiggling.
