Looking for something new to play on your Game Boy or Game Boy Color? How about Super JetPak DX, a game that's been 21 years in the making!

Quang Nguyen started working on a game called JetPak DX back in 1999 as an entry for a competition, but it didn't end up winning. That said, the game caught the eyes of some other devs out there, which actually paved the way for Nguyen to get a job in the industry. As you might have guessed, the game was put on the back burner for a number of years while Nguyen earned a living.

In an unfortunate turn of events, Nguyen was let go from his job due to the pandemic. Instead of letting that drag him down, Nguyen decided to pick up work on JetPak DX once again. Now the game is complete, and has a host of new features, bumping it up to Super JetPak DX!
