> no GB/GBC thread

everyone come on in, we're having a thread for the coziest /vr/ handheld. post favorite games, recent pickups, hidden gems, hot takes, and cool artwork.

question of the day: full color or B&W, if you get to choose (ie. a DX-series game)?

i'll take a game that's properly colorized over a non-colorized one anyday
the ones that aren't properly colorized and just have some generic palette specified and are "gbc-compatible" look like garbage though, i'd rather just play them in black and white

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 27 12:16:48 2018 No.4548686 I guess this is as good a place as any to ask. If I wanted to use the old GB's greenish yellow colors on an emulator, what color codes are the best match for it?

All I had for the GB/C was pokemon silver, the GB secret of mana (fucking loved this shit) and wario 2.
What are some good games? I already beat the shit out of SML on emulators when I was younger (was and still a linux autist. gnuboy was the only thing that ran well on my shitbox)

Anonymous Sat Jan 27 20:12:02 2018 No.4549683

I disagree, some games look better in black and white. Many dual GB/GBC games look like they were made in black and white and later just colored in.

It's like when they started coloring those black and white movies, while at first sight it looks ok, after a while it starts to look odd. Wario Land 2, Donkey Kong Land 3(JP) are good examples but not the only ones, pretty much most black cartridge games look like this.

GBC only games don't have this problem.

>>4549662
I always wanted it but never got it, I did have goldeneye though. It was made by 90s Rare so it should be decent at the very least.

Jimmy White's Cueball is a good billiards game, besides the kicking music, the gameplay is solid and the featureset is choice. Has four different pool rulesets, helpers to make shots better (if you want), digitized speech, and a zoom function. Pick up a copy or emulate it if you want a fun billiards game.

I'm not making very much progress in the beginning of Survival Kids. Is there anything I should have known going in? I'm on Day 13, and I just got my backpack back from the monkey and need a torch for the cave.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 29 21:59:23 2018 No.4553949 >>4553929 no, not really. general rule of thumb about MM1-4 on GB is that 1 is 1's levels with 2's mechanics, 2 is 2's levels with 3's mechanics (sliding, etc). They're like remix games. V and Xtreme 1/2, however, are original games.

>>4553929
1, 3, 4, and 5 were done by the same developer (same guys who did X3 on snes). 2 was done by a different developer and has different physics and really grating instrumentation for the music.

1 is fine, it's just a lot shorter than the others. 2 is playable if you can get past the music.

Looking for a game, I recall being some sort of thief (thus collecting money bags) and you used to go through the roof into the level?
I can't recall beating it as it seemed to always loop back to the start once you got past a certain point
srry for vague

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 29 23:36:30 2018 No.4554124 >>4553908 The only one that is a port of the SNES version is DKLand 2, Land 1 and 3 are original games influenced by their respective Country titles.
