Alone In The Dark: The New Nightmare is a rather ambitious port of the fourth title in the Alone In The Dark series. Usually when a 3D game is ported to a Game Boy system, really the only thing that stays the same is the title. This is surprisingly not the case with The New Nightmare. The game actually contains some rather impressive pseudo-3D graphics that really must be seen to be believed. The graphics utilize pre-rendered environments, and some pretty ingenious trickery that involves changing the size of the main character sprite to imitate parallax. It's somewhat hard to describe, but it's really a game that every Game Boy fan should play just to see exactly the kind of impressive feat that can be executed on such limited hardware. Pro's of the series may be a bit let down however when they realize exactly how short this port is in contrast to its console counterparts.

I personally have never played another other installments of the series, so I really don't have much to compare this one to myself. I can only say that beyond the impressive graphics, the game is a pretty fun title that mixes a bit of adventure in with a little bit of action. What did the rest of you think?
