Please can someone help me name this game!

Ok, when I was a kid my cousin had an original monochrome Gameboy, and I once borrowed it and a couple of his games. One game in particular sticks in my memory but I can't find any mention of it anywhere on the net. Obviously it came on an original square game pak, and I think it might have been called Max or something very similar, or atleast that name rings a bell.

From what I remember you played as a lad in the game and I think you could shoot some kind of roundish missiles. I know its not a lot to go on but can any body help? I'd be so grateful!

Boy and his blob?

but really, you've not given us much to go on. lad shoots roundish missiles, can't think of anything else

yeah i know its very minimal info, i'm trying to remember back about 10 years

i just hoped it might click with someone! I also think it was a platformer that scrolled from left to right (dont they all!). Thanks anyway!

could it be PANG - the game where you move left and right and shoot at round bouncy balls that split into 2 more balls when you hit them

But I am not sure if it came out for the original gameboy

Don't think Boy and his Blob made it to the Gameboy. It was certainly on the NES - had it myself.

Can't help on the game, I'm afraid.

no problemo, i'm pretty certain it had Max in the title. Thanks anyway!

Have a peruse there. I had a quick look and there was nothing called max for the GB.

But looking through the master games list may jog your memory...

Hope that helps

No it made it ok - got it from Canada around the time of launch. Still have it if anyone is interested, couldn't play it at all - confused the hell out of me! So many jelly beans, so little time.
