Battleship on Game Boy is exactly what you’d hope for—tense, simple, and weirdly satisfying when you finally nail that last hit. You start by placing your ships (good luck remembering where you put the destroyer later), then take turns blindly firing into the void of the opponent’s grid. That moment when you hear the little explosion sound after a direct hit? Pure dopamine.

The AI isn’t exactly a naval genius, but it’ll surprise you sometimes—like when it somehow nails three shots in a row on your battleship. The pixelated explosions and beep-boop sound effects give it that classic handheld charm. Just don’t throw your Game Boy when the computer sinks your carrier on turn five.

It’s the kind of game you play in short bursts, half-paying attention, until suddenly you’re leaning in, squinting at the grid like it’s a military operation. Still holds up if you’re into that old-school, no-frills strategy vibe.
