You know a gameâs iconic when itâs had more aliases than a spy with a caffeine habit. Meet Nebulusâthe 1987 puzzler where you climb a spinning tower as a green blob named Pogo, and somehow, it still feels genius 40 years later.
The GBA just got a physical upgrade thanks to The Retro Room, and yesâthis is the real deal, licensed by Rebellion (yes, Rebellion). No fan hacks. No emulators. Just a legit cartridge for those who still believe in the sacred ritual of inserting, powering up, and yelling at a screen that wonât stop spinning.
Why does this matter? Because Nebulus wasnât just another platformerâit was a puzzle wrapped in a hypnotic 3D illusion on 8-bit hardware. And now, with a $48 boxed edition (or a cheeky $23 loose cart), collectors and nostalgia fiends can finally own it without hunting down a 1987 cassette tape.
Plus, if youâve ever wanted to see what âCastelianâ or âTower Topplerâ looked like in full color on a GBA? This is your moment. The retro scene isnât just reviving gamesâitâs resurrecting soul.
And honestly? Pogo deserves a sequel. Or at least a merch line.
