Penta Dragon on the Game Boy is one of those games that just feels right in your hands—like it was made for that tiny screen. You start off with this little dragon hero, and right away, you're hopping between platforms, dodging weird floating eyeball enemies, and trying to figure out how to unlock the next area. The puzzles aren't just "push a block," either—some of them actually make you stop and think for a second.

Boss fights are where it really shines, though. The first one’s this giant armored knight who swings a sword twice your size, and if you don’t time your jumps right, you’re toast. The pixel art’s got that classic Game Boy charm—simple but full of personality. And yeah, it’s tough, but in that satisfying way where you actually want to try again instead of throwing your console across the room.

If you’ve got a soft spot for retro action-adventure games, this one’s a no-brainer.
