Why is NEARLY EVERYONE POSTING MONOCHROME GAMEBOY GAMES?

Either Kirby's Dreamland or Pokeymens

>>2402664
it only had 3 replies you need to wait a little longer

Also... Super Mario Land 2, Kirby's Dream Land 2, Mario Tennis, Pokemon, or either of the Zelda Oracle games.

>>2402695
I can agree on almost everything except for Wario Land 3 and the Zelda Oracle games. Both games just feel extremely slow to me, especially Wario Land 3. It was like playing Rayman (PS1) all over again. Also, the Mega Man Game Boy games were good. Nothing exceptional, but they kept me entertained.

>>2402616
GBC Solid Purple and Shadowgate Classic.

Probably Link's Awakening and Kirby's Dreamland 2

Lufia - The Legend Returns

>Replacing the Dot Matrix Game LCD bezel
Absolutely disgusting.

Kirby's pinball land
Wario land
Link's Awakening DX
Pokemon R/B

I didn't have many games but these are probably the most enjoyable especially fucking Kirby pinball

>>2403548
Actually it bothers me too. I just ordered a red screen that has the dot matrix bezel on it.

>>2402616
Fucking Pokemon Trading Card Game
Spent months playing that shit

Pic related. Tie between this, Wario Land 3 and Oracle of Ages.

>>2403594

Do you actually have a physical copy of this?

I have a lime green GBC, a standard GB, and a blue GB Pocket.

>>2403606
Had one, my sister got it for Christmas back in the day. I played the hell out of it once I realized it wasn't just another Barbies Horse Doctor adventure or some shit but she sold it when we were teenagers. I didn't realize it was rare at the time or I would have tried to stop her.

I have the Pikachu GBC, a red GBP that doesn't work anymore and a GBC like in OP's pic. Might be time to dig them out again.

Mother 3 is both my favorite GBA game and my favorite game altogether

>>2403620
Not retro.

>>2403626

Oh, right.

Well, I really liked Toki Toki but I'm probably the only one.

>>2403626
FUCK YOU

>>2403650

Probably a cliche but mine was this game right here.

I had gameboy since the old grey model and loved a number of games on it, but damn it if pokemon didn't change everything.

Being able to level up your pokemon to battle with your friends during lunch or recess was revolutionary at the time. Pokemon was less of a game and more of a lifestyle, everyone was playing it and talking about it.

As far as portable game design goes, the Pokemon formula is pretty close to perfection.

So after playing shantae gbc on the ds, I'm looking for more gb and gbc games to play. I've bought got Kirby's dream land, Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, Legend of zelda series and harry potter the philosophers stone. Any others?
Also, did many of gb and gbc games have saves? or even password systems?

>>2403636
*Toki Tori

>>2402616

Tennis
Balloon kid
Turtles 1
Zelda Link's awakening
Shadow Warrior (maybe Ninja Gaiden in the US?)

>>2402706
>Both games just feel extremely slow to me, especially Wario Land 3.

I respectfully disagree. Both were well-paced in my opinion. If anything I felt Pokemon was more slower.

>Also, the Mega Man Game Boy games were good.
Nah. They were garbage in comparison to most of the NES series imo.

>>2405165
IV and V are good for being GameBoy games.

Jurassic Park is up there, only for that awesome soundtrack

All the Zelda games on this thing

This GBC gem just doesn't get enough love

>>2402616
Thats easy

>>2402637
This is an amazing game one of my favorites as well, so fun and addictive like a cute demonic Kirby.

Here's what I brought for my day out. R8, b8 and h8

Link's Awakening or Pokemon Silver

Awakening because I spent so much time with it and had a blast, and Silver because the jump from Gen 1 to Gen 2 was incredible. The amount of shit they packed in that game still amazes me.

>>2406738
jelly

>>2404234
>Also, did many of gb and gbc games have saves? or even password systems?
Plenty of games had saves, though a lot of earlier GB games didn't.

As for recommended games, Donkey Kong '94 and Super Mario Land 2 are both fucking phenomenal and are probably the most underrated and undeservedly forgotten Mario games out there.

>>2404234
In the late life of the GBC password saves were frowned upon, because battery backed RAM carts were cheap enough. Though of course only games that had some kind of long term state bothered with a save system, be it password or battery backed.

Also, you say you're looking for more GB(C) games to play, and mentioned Shantae. What's your motivation, your genre preference? What are you looking for in GB(C) games? The library is huge, and games are played for different reasons

>>2402616
Either Tetris or Kirby's Pinball Land. The pinball game if I had to pick ONE only.

Runners-up would be Operation C and the Contra III port.

been playing the Pokemon Trading Card game on Playr

>>2403584
>letting yourself die playing GOLF
They could've used a better game

I've been playing this nonstop after picking it up at a gaming store for like 2 bucks. Swords of revealing light is my undoing.

>>2406273
mah nigga.

also legends was good.

Link's Awakening is by far my favorite, but besides what's already been mentioned:

Mole Mania
Pokemon Puzzle Challenge
Kwirk
Mario's Picross/Picross 2
Metroid II
Legend of the River King
Monster Max
Mario Golf
Cannon Fodder
Warlocked
Survival Kids
Dragon Warrior 1&2, DW3

>>2403519
It can't?

>>2406738
>Lime Green
>Shadowgate
>Project S-11
>Castlevania Adventure
>Tetris

My nigga

>>2402616
Atomic Purple and Lime Green.
I thought you said "what's your fav gameboy color or gameboy color game" but fuck it I'm gonna finish typing this and post it anyway.

My favorite GB games are
Metroid II: Return of Samus
Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land
Tetris
Kirby's Dream Land
Minesweeper (JP only)
Gameboy Camera

And my favorite GBC games are Link's Awakening DX and Monster Rancher Explorer

>>2404234
>harry potter and the chamber of secrets
>pokemon crystal (it doesn't have mareep, gotta play silver for fluffe sheepe ;_;)
>pokemon trading card game (legitimately good in it's own right, not because it is pokemon)
>balloon kid
>super mario land 2 (1 is very basic, the screen does not scroll left)
>donkey kong land 1-3

I was pretty happy when I learned that there was a second pokemon card game for gbc and that it had gotten a fan translation. The card game itself was never great, but for some reason the digital version was pretty fun to me. Fucking constant coin flips though, it's got to be the most RNG heavy card game this side of hearthstone

>>2402637

what the ass are patrick star and bulbasaur doing on the cover

>>2403702
This was mine too, it was my first game I owned truly outright on my first console I owned outright.

I loved this game so much, clichéd or not.

>>2406738
I love it, if you had final fantasy adventure too, you'd be king of /vr/ for a day.

also so happy to own SG Classic myself

Petz Play Palace

1. Mega Man 2
2. Pokémon Blue
3. Pokémon Trading Card

>>2416146
wow wrong pic sorry

>>2416146
>MMII
>Not the infinitely superior IV or V

>>2402616
Le Pokemins Pinbowl.

>>2416169
Yup I liked MMII the best. Probably some nostalgia factor on board but that's the only original Gameboy game I've played in recent years. Still keeps me coming back.

>>2402616
any Power Questers in here? Max is the best Power Quest next to Long.

Also, pic related is still fun.

I would kill to have a new game of Pokemon Trading Card Game on the Nintendo3DS, the one on the GameBoyColor was addicting as crack.

>>2402616
Asides from the obvious ones everyones already mentioned Metal Walker is a real gem imo

>>2416659
>pokemon tcg on 3ds
don't think it would sell but, they have a tiny bit of shovelware so it might manage.

>>2419051
The VC version of the gbc is already the 5th most popular VC game on the eshop, if that counts for anything.

I guess a lot of that would be nostalgia, but I'd jump on a new pokemon tcg game.

>>2419058
>guess a lot of that would be nostalgia
probably, who knows.

>>2416659
>mfw just tried Pokemon TCG
I need it.

My Famitsu Game Boy Light that I paid £45 for.

>>2419197
I'm jelly.

>>2419058
I'm surprised they haven't done it, virtual trading card games have been more popular recently.

Pokemon Crystal was probably my favorite, either that or Blue version. Link's Awakening and the Oracles follow. Pokemon Puzzle Challenge as well. Super Mario Land 2 and Wario Land 3 were all very memorable for me as well. I also really liked the game and watch gallery 2 or 3 (I don't remember which one I had specifically). I never owned the Yugioh game but i played it with a friend pretty frequently. I also played the hell out of the GBC Space Invaders game. I had both Gex games for the GBC as well, they probably weren't that great in retrospect but I thought they were fun back in the day, except the password save prevented me from ever getting very far because I'd never write them down and didn't play for long.

Also pic related was a huge favorite of mine as well.

>>2416169
>opinions

>>2406273
I checked this out on my phone recently and damn is this game great.

it's like Zelda meets Final Fantasy. it's like a dream come true.

Red Mage bro already helped me find the mirror and I found that crazy sickle and the chain as well.

barely believe this is the predecessor of Secret of Mana but I already saw what they kept in SD3.

Picked up this >>2419045 and this >>2406273 just yesterday. Not sure which I'll play first yet, but I've gotta finish Zelda II on the NES before I start either.

Is it worth installing a backlight for the GBC or should i just buy a SP?

>>2421128
GBA, including the SP, tends to mess up the color reproduction of GBC games, because of the different LCD. The SP also has its slot on the wrong end, making games like Kirby Tilt'n'Tumble very unfun.
You can not install a backlight on the GBC, since its a reflective LCD, that relies on the light coming in from the front, passing through the LCD layer, being reflected, and passing through the LCD layer again. You can, possibly, install a frontlight though, like the first gen GBA with Afterburner did. That comes with the usual drawbacks (light now needs to pass the light wedge as well, and that wedge is not perfectly transparent). Or you could enjoy a real GBC in a well lit environment.
