Okay, so Barbie - Shelly Club on the Game Boy Color is one of those weirdly specific late '90s licensed games—you play as Barbie running a beach club (because of course she does). It's got this weird mix of mini-games: serving drinks, arranging deck chairs, even some light surfing. The pixel art is actually kinda charming, with Barbie’s pink outfits popping against the beach backgrounds.
It’s definitely aimed at younger players, but there’s something oddly satisfying about nailing a perfect drink order while the little pixelated tourists get impatient. Also, the music is peak GBC cheese—expect bouncy synth tunes that’ll stick in your head for days. Not exactly a hidden gem, but if you’re into retro oddities, it’s a fun little time capsule.
