Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hand is an action-adventure game developed by Konami for the Game Boy Advance, conceived by Hideo Kojima. Players assume the role of Django, a vampire hunter who must collect sunlight to power his solar gun. The game features a unique cartridge with a sun sensor, directly linking real-world sunlight to in-game mechanics, promoting outdoor play.
Hideo Kojima, the man that's most known for bringing the Metal Gear Solid series to life, has come up with an extremely ambitious idea for the Game Boy Advance: harness the energy of sunlight for a videogame. Enter Boktai, a vampire-hunting action and adventure game that not only encourages players to get outside and play in the fresh air...it almost requires it. Utilizing a special cartridge with a built-in a sun sensor, the amount of sunlight outside the game determines how much sunlight shows up in the actual adventure. And since the player's gun is actually fueled by sunlight, the more sunlight you can get the stronger and more capable you are in the game.
