Onigashima Pachinko Ten is one of those weird little Game Boy gems that somehow makes dropping metal balls down a maze of pins way more fun than it should be. The screen’s tiny, sure, but the clatter of pachinko balls and those bright, chunky sprites give it this weirdly satisfying arcade vibe.

You start off just flinging balls and hoping for the best, but after a few rounds, you’ll catch yourself leaning into the Game Boy like you’re trying to nudge the physics in your favor. The tables have these little gimmicks—some have bumpers that go wild if you hit them just right, others spit out bonus balls when you land a lucky shot. It’s simple, but there’s a rhythm to it that hooks you.

Honestly, half the charm is how unapologetically ’90s it feels—no fancy mechanics, just pure pachinko chaos. If you’ve got a soft spot for oddball Game Boy titles, this one’s a fun time-waster. Just don’t blame me when you start hearing phantom ball sounds in your sleep.
