About

Digimon 2 is a bootleg platform game by Makon Soft for the Game Boy Color. The introduction and main menu song was taken from the original Digimon Adventure Japanese and Latin American anime theme intro. The intro starts with a picture sequence of Agumon evolving into Greymon, transitions into a short FMV sequence of Greymon firing a fire ball, then into a slideshow showing seven of the main human characters, and ends with a few screens of text, before showing the title screen and then the main menu. The intro is well done for a bootleg game, with accurate colors on part with what the system can handle (except for Mimi who has pink skin), a two second smooth FMV, and decently translated English text. The player starts out playing as Agumon with three extra lives. Agumon can jump, and attack by shooting a fire ball from his mouth. On the first level, Betamon can be found as enemies.
