Because of the Game Boy Player Land blog I get a lot of emails asking me for suggestions of obscure games to try. A few times I've been asked to list what I would consider a true Hidden Gem of the console, and inevitably the first title that pops into my mind is Bubble Ghost. The game is so extremely original. You control a ghost who lives in a mansion. His goal is to guide his only friend (a bubble) from one end of the mansion of another by blowing, through each room with its own set of obstacles.

The game is wonderfully paced. Each stage gets progressively harder as you're introduced to new obstacles and ways to get around them. For instance, early on you have to cross a candle. It seems no matter how you try to guide your bubble over it the flame is too hot and the bubble bursts. Once you figure out that you can simply blow out the flame of the candle, that particular obstacle becomes far easier to surpass. The game is full of fun challenges like this, which leads me to again mention that Bubble Ghost is an absolute must-have for all Game Boy enthusiasts. Seriously.
