Behind its animated potato lies one of the most sought-after Game Boy puzzlers on the North American market. Published by Atlus in 1991, A-mazing Tater suffered a tiny print run that has sent its value soaring, with complete copies reaching the upper tier of the console's Sokoban-style games. Its standing as a demanding, unjustly forgotten brain-teaser sustains steady demand among completists chasing the full NTSC Game Boy library.
Is A-mazing Tater still worth playing in 2026?
A-mazing Tater is a clever puzzle in which a heroic potato pushes and slides blocks to carve a path through mazes, rescue its friends and outwit traps. A spiritual cousin of Kwirk, it rests on gradual reasoning and a level design that ramps up nicely. Its light tone and originality give it an undeniable retro charm, and since the genre ages little, the joy of solving stays intact. A quiet gem from Atlus, worth recommending to patient, curious minded fans of block puzzles.
