Dr. Franken II is one of those weird little Game Boy gems that somehow makes mad science feel cozy. You play as the doctor himself, mixing potions and stitching together creatures in this puzzle-adventure hybrid. The pixel art has this charmingly janky vibe—like your creations might fall apart if you look at them wrong.

First thing you’ll notice? The controls are simple, but the alchemy system isn’t. Tossing random ingredients together sometimes works, sometimes backfires hilariously (RIP, my three-eyed rabbit experiment). There’s something oddly satisfying about watching your monstrosities wobble across the lab, even when they immediately explode.

It’s got that classic Game Boy quirkiness—not too hard, not too easy, just the right amount of "what happens if I try this?" The European version’s multilingual support means you can accidentally learn chemistry terms in six languages while blowing things up. Definitely a weird little time capsule.
