Why develop games for Nintendo's 1989 Game Boy system? Because the retro scene is alive and kicking. My passion for retro games shines through in my work. In this article, I'll talk about Quest Arrest, a digital and physical Game Boy game I developed and shipped in 2020 and continue to sell today in 2021. What is Quest Arrest? The game follows the main protagonist, the recently promoted Detective Allison Bennett, on her quest to clean up her city. The game is set in the city of Strange Meadows, after a recent crime spree that has thrown the city into chaos. The antagonist Athena, and her gang, have been terrorizing the residents and have set her sights on taking over the city. Inspired by Pokémon and Police Quest Quest Arrest is an Adventure RPG game that has inspiration from the hit Pokémon games mixed in with the 90's Police Quest games as well as some quick time events you might find in Mario RPG games or something along that flavor. First released in March of 2020, Quest Arrest gained quite a bit of popularity, prompting a physical release of the game shortly after. The game has sold hundreds of copies and continues to grow in community.
