Pachinko Time on Game Boy is one of those weird little gems that makes you go, "Wait, this actually works?" At first glance, it's just digital pachinko—you flick balls up the board and hope they land in the right slots—but there's something hypnotic about the way those tiny pixels clatter down the screen. The physics feel surprisingly decent for a Game Boy title, and the sound effects nail that satisfying metallic plink when you hit a good streak.

It’s not deep, but that’s kind of the point. You’ll catch yourself leaning into turns like it’ll help the ball bounce your way (spoiler: it won’t). The graphics are pure late-90s handheld charm—blocky, colorful, and just chaotic enough to make high-score chasing weirdly tense. If you’ve ever wasted an afternoon at an arcade pachinko machine, this’ll hit the same dumbly satisfying spot.

Just don’t blame me when you realize you’ve been playing for an hour without noticing.
