Gameboy Honorable Mentions

There were some unexpected nominations in last week's Gameboy Draft, which meant there were so many things left on the cutting room floor that are worth talking about. This episode is a little crazy because it's mostly a list of game rattled off in quick succession, but it's also a discussion about what works and what doesn't work on the handheld as well as some of the more fun experimentation that the console saw over it's very long lifespan.
