Talk:Game Boy Horse Games

I recently stumbled upon the sheer amount of Japanese horse racing games for the Game Boy while scrolling through a database and was absolutely fascinated by it. Maybe others might share the sentiment. Sadly, I couldn't find out much about the games. Tried watching a couple of videos but didn't understand a lot (not surprising considering I don't know anything about a) the Japanese language, b) horse racing and c) betting). Most do look like a lot of numbers and not a lot of horses though. Does someone know more about the apparent boom/fad of horse racing games of the early '90s (they seem to mostly disappear after that) or where one could find out more about this topic? --Fuchsi (talk) 18:46, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Japanese Horse Racing Games
I share your sentiment, but it turns to frustration when you realize that the GBA is not the only console with this. There are games dating back to thee early 90s of horse racing games in Japan and my ebay tabs are FILLED with information and box art, that I can't read at all. I was trying to find a list of them earlier today to no avail.

That's very interesting. If only Japanese wasn't so difficult to learn! Might be worth a shot to look for help in a forum for retro consoles or the like. Thanks! --Fuchsi (talk) 16:48, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
