/vr/ - Retro Games

>>4174021
Are you ready to play the best gameboy platformer, op?

>>4174021
I don't know about hidden gems but the Mario sports games on gbc were amazing. Dave Mirra BMX kicks ass. Power Quest is very fun and somewhat unique.

Medarot series. Actually not gems, just decent, but with lot of character, good music and they look really nice.
Comfy games.

>>4174021
Samurai Kid.

This was my favorite of the 3 released on the GBC. All that games are really fun. The other games in the series are a bit hit or miss.

>>4174021
Harry Potter games

>>4174135
My nigga. Vermin master race reporting.

The whole system is underrated.

>>4174116

>>4174021
Lufia 3

>>4174201
The second one is a damn good jrpg-style game.

Aliens - Thanatos Encounter is apparently pretty good, while Alien 3 for the original GB is a neat little game.

Dragon Warrior 1&2 is (according to some people) the best version of those games. It's definitely my favourite way to play DQ1.

>>4174067

This is a pretty damn good game too.

Nothing else related to this franchise is good.

Road Rash was surprisingly good, other than that racking my brain i honestly forgot most Gameboy games. Some caveman platformer, and some samurai vs aliens puzzler was decent.

Someone here said they found the encounter rate too high, I don't remember that being an issue. It's a cool weird rpg with a billiards inspired battle system.

Tomb Raider on GBC is interesting. TR is like Prince of Persia in 3D, so it ends up being like a TR themed PoP game in some ways. Getting lost can get easy in later levels because they get huge and everything looks so similar. But other than that it's a fun game if you're into that sort of thing.

>>4174542
How does it compare to 2 ?

>>4174021

Survival Kids

>>4174903
It was surprisingly deep

>>4174057
can you play as Sasuke?

>>4174135
>>4174227
the only thing that pisses me off is that you can only unlock like 25% of the museum.

For strictly Color games, SMB DX is fucking great (except the screen is slightly too small).

For GB/GBC games, Shadowgate and Pokemon Pinball were the tits.

>>4174021
The tomb raider game was actually pretty fun

>>4175131
No more puzzles and capsule monsters, but more difficult battles, playable characters and better combat. I preferred it.

>>4174021
Azure Dreams
Survival Kids
Dragon Quest Monsters 1&2
Dexter's Lab
Rayman 2

Honestly, GBC beats NES in terms of having an awesome library, and the colors are Master System good

>>4176381
>the colors are Master System good
More or less. It has the same color palette as the SNES, 15-bit, but does not have as many colors per sprite as the Master System, which could do 16.

>>4176381
>Honestly, GBC beats NES in terms of having an awesome library

I can't see that myself. I personally found the Game Boy Color to have the worst library of any Nintendo system (excluding oddities like Virtual Boy or Pokemon Mini) with lots and lots of shovelware. What is good on there (first party titles, jRPGs and a weird third party game there and here) is pretty damn good, though.

Please dont go full retard

>>4176512
You just described NES. CB/C is much better.

>>4175942
That's in OP's image friendo

>>4176381
I wouldn't go that far. By virtue of its short life alone the NES had quantity over it. I'd say the GBC is overall more consistent, every good game is really good, but the NES has more legit 9+/10 games as opposed to "8/10 for a handheld".

>>4176862
If you combine them sure, but the GBC alone is still worse than the NES. Most GBC games were licensed shit.

The Spider Man games were good.

SFA for the GBC was aesthetic as fuck

Star Ocean
Dragon Quest 3
Tomb Raider
DDR GB
Bomberman Quest

>>4179071
Meh. I still prefer the Super Deformed art style.

>>4179103

>>4177057
Beg to differ I suppose.

>>4175942
More like overrated.

>>4179791
That's not a very good pun anon

There was a game where someone shot fire arrows to lighten up a dark cave or something, forgot the name.

Daikata for the GBC is great. Honestly one of my most underrated games

It's kind of like Zelda in the future with both swords and guns

Serious question here. It's always baffled me how a GBC costs $40-60 dollars today. Why is this? Like is it for collection purposes or something?

>>4180618
its because people will pay those prices - gameboys and other 90s retro aesthetic became super popular a few years back

>>4180879
That's really dumb considering getting a GBA SP is waaayyyy more cheaper and more efficient. Are hipsters this stupid that they don't know they can play a ton more games, plus they won't have a backlit screen on the GBC.

>>4181016
Some collectors don't give a shit. It's a "piece of history".

>>4181016
GBC has slightly different colours compared to running the same game on a GBA, I think, and some people just prefer the device. It's also still not really that expensive as a piece of hardware - they're hardly rare, unless you want one in mint condition.

also carts sticking out bugs me

>>4181037
Fuck that noise. If they want to drop $99 for a GBC and 3 shitty games they deserve to be swindled.

>>4181104
Got me there. Also the missing audio jack is weird. I'm just looking at the efficiency of it. Also really? In my area people are trying to sell these for ridiculous prices and the regular GB is just going for $15.

Hey guys! Hidden gems are always one of my favorite things to talk about, especially on a super cool system like the GBC! I'd recommend Wendy: Every Which Way for platformer fans.

>>4181110
There is an adapter for headphones.
I never used headphones on a handheld anyway. I'm either at home and the speaker is good enough, or just go without sound if you're in public.

>>4181104
Having said this, I don't currently own a GBC, and if I do get one it'll probably be a fancy backlit one with an aftermarket screen or whatever. Sometimes the vertical form factor is nice and comfy. I love my DMG.

>>4181118
Every game is a hidden gem to that guy

>>4174021
Little Nicky is an amazing GBC platformers. Probably the only good licensed GBC game..

Merlin and Robin Hood are surprisingly good games.

don't know if it was mentioned, but Grandia: Parallel Trippers is nice

>>4175093
>GBC tit physics
Nice

>>4181118
Bun nu nu nu nu nu nu nu duh duh
Bun nu nu nu nu nu nu nu duh duh
VREEEEEE VREEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWW

>>4181104
My understanding is that GBC looks its greatest when played in the sunlight

>>4174021
the Harry Potter games for GBC are surprisingly solid turn based RPGs

Earthworm Jim 2

>>4184067
Isn't this supposed to be shit?

>>4183372
Not GBC, but this is just making me sad I sold my Boktai.

>>4177057
Fuck you. Those were some great license games.
