Crush Roller

I have not encountered many compelling Neo Geo Pocket Color games, but Crush Roller has remained moderately in rotation due to its super cute graphics. This is the Japanese version of Make Trax, a maze game where the player must paint all the roads within a neighborhood while avoiding fish. Every pixel must be covered. Occasionally a creature will emerge and leave footprints in the paint which must be covered over.

The 1999 Neo Geo Pocket version is by far the cutest version of this series, the NES version (Brush Roller) and arcade versions look drab by comparison. It is a little stressful, but it has unlimited continues.
