A trip to my local vintage games store turned up a surprise today. Populous for Game Boy. Released in 1992 this monochrome marvel crams all three game modes into the tiny portable console.

I'd encourage anyone who has enjoyed the Pokémon series to give it a try. As well as a full on crafting, farming and battle system it's also…
