Summary

Booby Boys is the Game Boy follow‑up to Nichibutsu’s quirky arcade hit Kid no Hore Hore Daisakusen, which originally appeared on the Nintendo Family Computer under the working name Booby Kids. The 1993 handheld version carries over the same off‑beat action‑puzzle feel, letting players chase mischievous characters across scrolling screens while collecting items and avoiding traps. Though the original arcade title never left Japan, the Game Boy sequel was given the playful English moniker Booby Boys for its overseas release, preserving the series’ tongue‑in‑cheek charm. It’s a neat example of how a modest Japanese arcade concept was reshaped for portable play in the early ’90s.
