Dr. Franken
Being the first version that was released, the Game Boy version of the game uses a password-based saving system to save the player's progress. The game consisted of seven floors where various items and parts of Bitsy (Franky's girlfriend) were hidden. Keys and special items were needed to access additional areas to find more body parts and equipment required to resurrect Bitsy.

About This Game
Franky, a creature born from Dr. Von Frankenbone's twisted experiments, awakens to discover that his companion Bitsy has been torn apart and scattered throughout the castle by the doctor's malevolent creations. To reunite with Bitsy, Franky must navigate treacherous castle corridors filled with hostile monsters, collapsing debris, and deadly pitfalls while collecting the fragments of his beloved. Armed with the ability to shoot his adversaries, Franky relies on scattered power outlets to restore his vitality and makeshift lamps to illuminate shadowed passages as he progresses through increasingly dangerous levels toward his goal.
