So, The Pagemaster on Game Boy—it's one of those licensed games based on the animated movie, but honestly? It's not half bad. You play as this kid who gets sucked into a magical library, and suddenly you're jumping between classic book genres: adventure, horror, fantasy. The controls are a little stiff (it is a Game Boy platformer), but the pixel art has charm, especially the spooky castle sections.
You start off with just a basic jump and a weak attack, but pretty soon you're grabbing power-ups and dodging flying books—yeah, the enemies are literally sentient literature. The music’s got that classic chiptune vibe, and some of the level designs actually feel like they’re ripped straight from the movie’s aesthetic. Not gonna lie, it’s a bit clunky by today’s standards, but if you’re into retro platformers, it’s a neat little time capsule.
Also, good luck finding a physical copy—this thing’s rarer than a polite online argument.
