The evil emperor of Blobolonia is threatening to rule the planet with his army of minions. Thwart his plans for total conquest while forging an unbreakable bond by using the power of jelly beans!

Find hidden treasures across Blobolonia by discovering new secrets and gathering enough resources to buy new jellies.

Why wouldn't they include the 2009 game as well? This doesn't seem worth it for two fairly short games.

It is odd that it's not the whole series. Oh well

the first Boy and his Blob game was the first video game I really got into. When we got the NES I had all sorts of games, Zelda, Mario, the Batman 1989 game, ...Adventures of Bayou Billy..this is from memory. Boy and his Blob was my favorite, because the blob was cute and you could turn him into things with jellybeans. Dumb.

I have a soft spot for A Boy and His Blob, but this really doesn't sound very appealing. At least put the Wii game on there.
