How Army Men fared on the Game Boy Color

Developed by Digital eclipse in 2000, the Game Boy Color port of Army

Men is a smooth adaptation. Featuring almost 30 missions, it boasts the core aspects of the original’s Ikari Warriors-style action gameplay. Sarge has access to a similar arsenal of weapons: rifles, grenades, flamethrowers, mortars and bazookas, as well as tanks and jeeps. Though repeated shooting can be sore on the thumb, the game controls well, making the most of the platform’s limitations. Of particular note is the sound quality, which ranks among the Game Boy Color’s most impressive examples in the field – featuring voice acting, rocking explosions and a rousing, if somewhat limited, score.
