As far as basketball games, this is probably the best type for the game boy. Limiting the number of on-screen characters on the tiny screen and not having a lot of scrolling back and forth by limiting this to half-court really helps playability on this system. As a plus, you could play a two player game with the Game Link which probably added a whole lot of entertainment value. The downside of this is that both players had to have a copy of the game. I suspect that didn&#8217;t happen too often.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.hive.blog\/DQmU1c88appDyyvRNtc2WmUCAyJ556vYVwiLjnK4JggXpSV\/InYourFace2.png\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Though not a bad attempt at a basketball game for the Game Boy, it&#8217;s limited nature probably makes it only have any lasting value if you have someone to play against. Reviews were mediocre at best. Like most sports games, it doesn&#8217;t hold up particularly well over time. If you want to give this one a try, grab it for an emulator or at least get two copies so you can play against someone else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IN YOUR FACE Jaleco Game Boy 1990 https:\/\/darth-azrael.tumblr.com\/post\/189751580013\/videogameads-in-your-face-jaleco-game-boy-1990 In Your Face has the distinction of being one of the earliest basketball games for a portable system.
