Gem Gem is one of those classic Game Boy puzzlers that looks simple at first—just match the colored gems—but before long, you're sweating over every move. The first few levels ease you in, but then the board starts filling up with weird obstacles, and suddenly you're scrambling to clear a path before time runs out.

What I love is how it nails that "one more try" feeling. The music’s got that nostalgic bleep-bloop charm, and the gems actually make a satisfying little *plink* when they match. My only gripe? Some of the later stages feel borderline unfair, but hey, that’s the ’90s for you.

If you’ve got a soft spot for old-school puzzle games, this one’s a solid time-waster between bus rides or lunch breaks. Just don’t blame me when you accidentally miss your stop.
