Overview
Barbie Game Girl is a 2D side-scrolling platformer featuring the popular Mattel fashion doll Barbie released exclusively for the Nintendo Game Boy (the title is a pun on this) in 1992. It was one of a handful of games to be advertised to girls specifically during the 8-bit/16-bit era.
Players guide Barbie through a series of familiar locations on her way to meet Ken for a date, now made dangerous by various creatures, hazards and floating platforms. In addition to walking and jumping over obstacles, Barbie also transforms into a mermaid for an aquatic stage where the controls are different.
