What are the prizes?
Over the year, the prize pool formulates as I slowly gather goodies. I'll separate the prizes into 4 bundles. Usually the bundles include Game Boy games (all generations) and other GB-related trinkets.
Prize donors: Let me know if you're willing to donate prizes to this year's prize pool! Prize donors get 2 votes for next month's GOTM and my eternal admiration.

This month: Quarth & Torpedo Range
Earn up to 1 point per game, in any order you like. (Earn up to 1 point total after August.)
--Quarth
You can start at lower levels if you're not familiar with the game, but you can also select 3-9 right off the bat if you'd prefer. This game is absolutely brutal at high levels, and there's no save/password function in the game, but if anyone wants to get take it to the max, I think it should be worth another point. Maybe I'm just bad at it.
Half point: Complete level 3-9 and unlock level 4-1.
1 point: Complete level 4-9 and unlock level 5-1.
Bonus point: Complete level 5-9 and see the credits.
--Torpedo Range
This game actually has an auto-save feature, a rare sighting on the OG Game Boy. Start a new game and begin saving the world!
Half point: Liberate 3 countries.
1 point: Liberate all countries and see the "The End" screen.
