Scrabble on the Game Boy Color is exactly what you'd expect—classic word-building, but portable. The tiny screen makes you squint a little, but it’s weirdly satisfying to shuffle those pixelated tiles around. You can play against the AI (which cheats just enough to keep you annoyed) or pass the handheld back and forth with a friend.

It’s not flashy, but if you’ve ever wanted to drop a triple-word-score "quixotic" on someone during a road trip, this is your chance. The controls take a minute to get used to—d-pad moves the cursor, A confirms—but after a couple turns, it clicks.

Honestly, the nostalgia hits harder than the graphics. Still works great on emulators if your original cartridge’s battery died years ago.
