Game Boy Works is back with another one of those "what on earth is this?" entries. I have never seen or heard of this game outside of the context of this video series. Who thought this was a good idea? Romstar, I suppose, but… why? It's not the worst game on Game Boy, but it feels terribly unfinished, as if it were meant to sell through the sheer charisma of Mr. Chin (did you know he was a corporate mascot character!?). Yeah, I dunno. This is a weird one.

Mr. Chin's Gourmet Paradise retrospective: Peaches en regalia | Game Boy Works #095

A strange and obscure little U.S.-only release for Game Boy in which the protagonist of equally obscure NES game Thunder & Lightning turns monsters into peaches and eats them. Developed anonymously and tied inexplicably to a completely unrelated game, this one's a real mystery. Sadly, the gameplay turns out to be far less interesting than the enigma surrounding Mr. Chin's existence.
