Old but classic

User Rating: 7.6 | Dr. Mario GB

I originally played this on NES, but the game boy version is pretty close as well. Consider this a review for both.

Dr. Mario is a puzzle game where you want to take out the viruses with pills that you drop from the top of a bottle, similar to the dropping pieces in tetris. The only major difference between the NES and game boy versions was that one was in color and the other was not.

The game provides a couple levels of difficulty that affect the speed at which the pills drop. There are also two versions of music and little special screens for every 5 levels you beat. If you think you are a little more advanced, you can start ahead of level 1 to make things more interesting.

Definitely a classic that is hard to imitate and get right.
