But this peaceful existence did not last long...
Two adventurers who were wandering through mountains met a mysterious evil being, who threatened to ruin Ariel's kingdom.
After that, the two men disappeared without a trace.
Ariel's servants reported to her about the matter.
After consulting her wise grandmother, Ariel decided to go out herself, to meet up with her old trusty companions and to find out the origin of the new threat.
The game is a console-style RPG - you fight random enemies in turn-based combat viewed from first-person perspective.
Enemies may attack you from the sides, and you should pay attention which enemy you face.
A unique feature the game uses is the ability to get special items called "souls" after battles, and then to use them to forge your own armor.
About Game Boy
The original Game Boy (1989) proved that handheld gaming didn't need cutting-edge graphics to succeed — its monochrome screen and legendary battery life, combined with Tetris as a pack-in, made it a cultural phenomenon. Game Boy cartridges are famously durable, so this remains one of the more accessible retro platforms to collect, though translucent color variants and complete-in-box copies with the original brick-sized manual add real value for condition-focused collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Aretha II for Game Boy with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Aretha II to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GB release dates back to 1991.
