An extremely rudimentary take on a Lego Harry Potter game, well before Lego Star Wars established the formula. This game was pretty weak and I didn't understand the objectives as a youngster, but I remember enjoying just walking around Hogwarts and running into the familiar faces. Nice soundtrack on this game too.
A genuinely underrated side-scrolling platformer for the GBA. Keep in mind I was really young when I played this and my cartridge is broken now so I might be clouded by nostalgia goggles. Mysterio's Menace was short but really felt like the superhero experience I was looking for at the time. Really solid environment variety too, and decent bosses. Dunkey would appreciate that you actually fight Big Wheel in this game.
This could very well be the first video game I ever played, when I was about six years old. It was a favorite of my dad's when he was in law school. He would draw me maps of the levels which I would study closely, but my coordination wasn't quite there yet to finish the game. Despite its many flaws I'll always view it nostalgically as an excellent fantasy adventure.
