Iconic first-person shooter Half-Life is one of Valve s most important and influential games, so seeing it as a Game Boy demake is a surreal experience.
According to Game Rant, one talented indie creator took it upon themselves to recreate the PC classic using a Game Boy-inspired aesthetic. Half-Life GB is an entertaining exercise in taking a modern game and stripping it down to its essentials. Everything s here the way you recognize it, but it now looks like a Game Boy game.
Creator Jackarte took to YouTube with a 15-minute video showing off their work. Half-Life GB looks more like the game viewed through a filter than an honest-to-goodness Game Boy game, but it s still impressive.
Delisted Switch Title Save Me Mr Tako Will Return Better Than Ever, Says Creator
Remember
Save Me Mr Tako: Tasukete Tako-San? This Game Boy-style adventure was given a glowing 8/10 review by us in 2018 and seemed destined to receive a lovely physical edition at one point. But sitting here right now, in The Year of Our Lord 2020, it s currently impossible to purchase this delightful game.
That s because Christophe Galati, the developer, has parted company with publisher Nicalis, which means the title has been delisted from all digital storefronts. After being published by Nicalis for two years it was time to go separate ways, Galati told us exclusively. I can’t discuss this matter more but I’m excited to be able to exploit my game again and do things with my IP.
