Collector interest
Game Boy adaptation of Faceball 2000, one of the very first maze-arena first-person shooters on a handheld, which earns it a genuine historical place in the evolution of subjective-view shooting. Published by Bullet-Proof Software (linked to Tetris), the 1991 USA title draws those curious about the genre's technical history more than mainstream collectors. Niche but authentic interest: its desirability rests on its status as a 3D pioneer on Game Boy, not on its value.
An underrated gem
Seeing a first-person shooter run on a Game Boy in 1991 was startling, especially with a mode for up to sixteen linked players. Technically shaky and quick to age, it understandably disappointed in solo. But its pioneering nerve and improbable multiplayer make it a fascinating curiosity for fans of FPS history.
