Okay, so Barbie: Game Girl is peak 90s handheld nostalgia—like, if you ever spent hours mixing and matching outfits with actual Barbie dolls, this is basically that but pixelated. You start off in this little fashion studio where you pick outfits for Barbie (and yeah, the denim-on-denim combo is as questionable here as it was in real life).
There’s also this weirdly addictive mini-game where you style her hair while dodging rogue curlers, which sounds ridiculous but somehow works. The graphics are super simple, obviously—it’s Game Boy—but the colors pop in that classic green-and-black way. And the music? Cheerful in a "I’ve been stuck in my head since 1998" kind of way.
It’s not exactly deep gameplay, but if you’ve got a soft spot for retro Barbie vibes, this one’s a time capsule worth dusting off.
