This is the 12th game in my challenge to witness gaming history in chronological order starting in 1990. After 3 pretty big ones recently, the first game that released in May 1990 as to my list is a shorter one called Gargoyle's Quest, which released for the Game Boy on May 2. It's developed and published by Capcom and apparently around 4 hours in length, which I assume is only true if you make use of save states. It's another platformer with some "Action Adventure / RPG elements (allegedly), and the 2nd Game Boy I'll be checking out, so I'm excited to check it out.
