I grew up withe the Gameboy/Color but I never ventured far outside of Pokemon and Zelda. I've played Metroid II, and the Dragon Quest Monsters games. what other Gameboy and Gameboy Color games are considered must plays?

The Megaman games

Revelations: The Demon Slayer is a fun little game. It's actually a Megaten game, so you can expect demon conversations, recruiting, and fusing. If you like DQ, you'll probably like this.

Robopon is a nifty little Pokemon clone. Well, it's a bit more than that and good in its own way. You actually get a bit of customization options here with your robots and it's pretty fun when you get into it.

Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge is a good entry for portable Castlevania. The stage design is good, the mechanics are sound, and the music is worth a listen, too. Give it a shot.

Operation C is a good Contra game for the GB. There really isn't much to say here. It's all the shooting action you expect from a Contra game, except it's portable and has less colors. Interestingly enough, Way Forward seemed to use this game for inspiration when they designed Contra 4's weapon system upgrades.

Mega Man V is an original entry for the GB (and features TANGO THE CAT, someone I don't think has been seen since this game) and is well-worth playing. I don't know what else to say about it. It's Mega Man, and it's good.

Survival Kids is just what it sounds like. You pick a boy or a girl, then you have to survive on an island after a shipwreck. Fight enemies, cook food, fish, explore. It's all here! Series was continued as Lost in Blue, but I didn't like the two games I played as much as I liked this.

Have you dabbled in Nintendo's sidescrollers? They hit it out of the park every time starting with Super Mario Land 2. Donkey Kong 94, Wario Land (2/3 as well) are all worth playing. Nothing too hard here, but just solid, good platforming, and in the case of DK94, puzzle platforming.

Will post more if I think of any.

Survival Kids sounds an awful lot like Lost in Blue

It's the predecessor. IIRC, Lost in Blue is actually known as Survival Kids in Japan.

I thought I was the only one that played Revelations and Robopon.

I fucking love you.
