Dr. Franken is one of those weird little Game Boy gems that sticks with you—mostly because it’s equal parts charming and slightly unsettling. You play as the mad doc himself, stumbling through dimly lit labs and graveyards, trying to stitch together a monster from spare parts. The controls are simple, but the puzzles? They get sneaky. One minute you’re pushing crates to reach a brain jar, the next you’re dodging bats while balancing on rickety platforms.

The pixel art nails that classic spooky-but-cute vibe, and the music? Exactly the kind of bleepy bloops that burrow into your brain. It’s not just about collecting limbs, either—some levels force you to backtrack once you’ve grabbed a new ability, like tossing your own detached hand to flip switches (yeah, it’s that kind of game).

If you’ve got a soft spot for oddball platformers with a puzzle twist, this one’s a blast—just don’t blame me when you hum the lab theme for days.
