September 2010 saw the release of the first mass-produced Game Boy Color homebrew cartridge that I know of, a Puzzler called
Chunkout. This is really a pretty big deal. Slowly Game Boy Advance homebrew carts are becoming more and more common, but a Game Boy Color release seems almost unheard of. The truth is that just the historical aspect of this release would have made it a must-have for me anyway, but it so happens I love GBC Puzzlers. So bonus! When it arrived in my mailbox last month I have to say that it was one of the most impressive unboxings for a homebrew release that I've ever experienced.

The work that went into producing these games is amazing. It's almost hard to believe that these were assembled by hand. Opening up that box -- which was incredible to see a new boxed GBC in 2010 -- it was great to see the colorful manual, and pristine little "Game" cartridge. There's no doubt that
Chunkout is an immense labor of love. This is a release for GG-freaks, by GB-freaks.

Chunkout is a classic block-Puzzler that involves dissolving clusters of like-colored blocks in the hopes that you won't be left with a single block. The game is far more difficult than it sounds, and will really work out your brain. Its gameplay offers up a rather quick thrust of complete addiction. It's a fantastic release that all Game Boy Color puzzle fans should seek out fast, as the initial (and possibly only) run is limited to 100 copies.
