Yeah, I'm working a couple of weeks ahead on this one — April and May are going to be insane for me, as I've landed some very exciting side projects that sadly will eat up a ton of time (and that even more sadly I am unable to talk about, d'oh!). So I'm trying to get as many Game Boy Works episodes out the door as possible before my planet implodes into a singularity of stress.

Anyway, here's Radar Mission, another pleasantly good Game Boy title. Although I kiiiinda feel like this category of game is pretty well tapped out… though there's still one more to go before the end of 1990. On Game Boy, there's no such thing as beating a dead horse, I guess.

Seven more episodes to go before the end of this "season" of Game Boy Works…

As if to prove there's no idea so good that you can't do it several times over in mostly identical ways, here is the third Battleship-like naval combat game for Game Boy. This one is from Nintendo themselves, which means that it's less offbeat than Use's Battleship/Navy Blue or NTVIC's Power Mission, but it's a lot more polished. And it includes an entirely original secondary sub combat mode, too! Just be sure to play with a friend, because the computer cheats like crazy in this one… as usual.
