Game Boy · 1991
About this game
In Brain Bender , a single player must shoot a laser into an enemy satellite.
If that sounds easy, it isn't... because there are gas spheres and Electrobrains in the way! Not only that, your laser can only fire one way and the satellite is often in the last place you look.

Fortunately, the player can manipulate mirrors to reflect the beam and destroy what needs to be destroyed.
But you better hurry and get your brain in gear... the clock is ticking!
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 Brain Bender 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 Brain Bender 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.
