Man, Spawn on Game Boy Color is way better than it has any right to be. You start off in this grimy alleyway, chains clanking as you punch your way through thugs—and it just feels like Spawn, you know? The sprites are surprisingly detailed for a GBC game, with that signature cape flowing behind you as you move.

It’s tough, though. Like, "throw-your-Game-Boy-across-the-room" tough at times. Some enemies just soak up hits, and the platforming can get janky. But when you land a perfect combo or finally beat that one boss after six tries? Pure satisfaction. The soundtrack’s got this eerie synth thing going on that nails the comic’s vibe.

If you’re into the comics or just love brutal action games, this one’s a weird little hidden gem. Just maybe keep a pillow nearby for when you inevitably rage-quit.
