You should give GBC Tomb Raider games a try, they were surprisingly fun

So I picked up Tomb Raider for Gameboy Color. This is definitely a game that pushes the system to its bleeding limits in a lot of ways, and it's the only game I own where I've seen the GBC's high color mode utilized (only in the cutscenes, but it's a cool effect to see on an old 8 bit system). The animation is very smooth and it's got a very Prince of Persia feel to it. The controls are a bit odd at first but if you've played POP, Flashback or other realistic tile-based platformers you know what to expect. It does play just like a PS1 era Tomb Raider game except side scrolling.
