Tetris had many clones, especially on the system that made it famous. Not just third-party ones - even Pajitnov and Nintendo released a bunch of Tetris-licensed stuff. The first one of these was Hatris - a game where you stack matching hats instead of blocks. Not much more to say about this one.

After the success of Nintendo World Cup gave us hope that a decent soccer game was possible on the Game Boy, we got our second actually playable experience. Football International doesn't hit the highs of the Kunio-kun one, but is still a damn sight better than the majority of footie titles that came before... or after, for that matter.

If you didn't know any better you'd think Daisenryaku was a Game Boy Wars clone. Because it basically is, minus the charm that game had. It's alright, but don't feel like you're missing out on anything by skipping this one.

Magical * Taruruto-kun is a manga tie-in that sees you trying to navigate some really devilish platforming. Nothing innovative here, but if you liked the show or the comic strips, give it a whirl.

Finally, the first of two Choplifter games on the system provides a cool, unique, soldier-rescuing challenge that doesn't have many parallels on the handheld.
