Ever wondered what the first Harry Potter game looked like back on the Game Boy Color? This Japan-exclusive version, "Harry Potter to Kenja no Ishi," is a weird little time capsule. You’re running around Hogwarts in chunky pixel art, casting spells with a surprisingly decent magic system for a GBC title. The dialogue’s all in Japanese, but if you’ve seen the movie, you’ll recognize the beats—sorting hat, sneaking around at night, that kind of thing.
It’s janky by modern standards, obviously, but there’s charm in how it tries to cram the whole Philosopher’s Stone story into a tiny cartridge. The music’s actually kinda catchy, too. If you’re into retro curios or just want to see how Potter games started, it’s worth a quick playthrough.
