LEGO: Alpha Team on Game Boy Color is this weird little gem—part puzzle game, part action, all LEGO charm. You’re leading a squad of blocky secret agents against Ogel (basically LEGO’s answer to Dr. Evil), and it’s way more tactical than you’d expect. The first mission throws you into a maze of conveyor belts and laser traps, and I remember fumbling with the controls until I realized you can rotate the whole level to find hidden paths.

It’s got that classic GBC vibe—bright colors, chunky sprites, and puzzles that make you feel clever when you finally brute-force your way through. Some levels are pure logic, others have you dodging goons with weirdly good AI for a LEGO game. And yeah, the nostalgia hits hard if you grew up with this era of handhelds. Just don’t expect modern polish—it’s janky in that endearing early-2000s way.

Honestly, half the fun is watching your little LEGO dudes dramatically explode when you mess up. Still holds up if you’re into retro handheld oddities.
