Heretical thoughts on Gameboy games?

It's a great way to be introduced to the Harry Potter franchise.

I was eight years old, hadn't read any of the books nor seen the movies when a relative gifted me the Game Boy as well as the game for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

An incredible time was had, complete with the shock I had when the unskippable character dialogue revealed that Sirius Svaart was in fact innocent, and then the teeny tiny pixel rat turned into a not so tiny pixel man. Lupin turned into a werewolf shortly after that, and we had a boss fight.

The only thing resembling drama would be that the game was in Danish, so I learned the Danish versions of everybody's names and made something of a fool of myself because of this when I tried to talk to the cool kids about Harry Potter. "Have you read the books? Or even seen the films?" "No... game boy..."

It was a great game. I sometimes miss it.

In the end I gave one beagle away and #this ruined the game for me and I stopped playing.) and The Urbz (spent actual real life years walking around tending to my sim's needs #while she lived in her apartment before discovering by accident that I was meant to go clubbing with her and progress within the game.#There was a storyline?!#I suspect the problem here was that I didn't speak English at the time.).#of course i also learned some english from nintendogs. when dogs are famished it means it's not good
