Any Gameboy Color game recommendations? Anonymous Sun Dec 2 19:47:15 2018 No.5195384 [Reply] [Original]

I'm currently in love with my Gameboy Color, but I don't have many games for it right now.

What should I look into getting?

I never got into these back in the day but coming back to them as an adult, holy shit these games are genius. In a lot (all?) of them you can seriously get into a state of flow that is honestly on the same level as Tetris.

guys kinda related but should legend of zelda be be glitching when playing in a clone system?

I just tried the pause glitch with the seashells & they don't seem to be showing up on the other screen?

also for some odd reason Link actually freak's out and his frames get glitch'd if I push the directional buttons together

I liked it a lot. It's like a refined MG2, where the backtracking is essentially eliminated. It's broken down into levels instead of a giant map locked behind key cards. If you like the classic Metal Gear games, you should find it enjoyable. The story isn't awful either. Bonus points for taking place at a repurposed Outer Heaven.

Anonymous Wed Dec 5 14:00:00 2018 No.5200608

Dragon Quest III is a timeless masterpiece. Great music, nice sprite animation, snappy combat, a large-scale adventure, and writing that is both poignant and succinct.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages are perfections of the 2D Zelda style.

I like to play Dragon Quest Monsters when I can't sleep. They're comfy and grindy.

Wario Land III is a fun little puzzle platformer. It's easy, but I like to play it when I want to relax.

Metal Gear Solid is surprisingly great.

I've heard others claim that Wendy - Every Witch Way is a stealth masterpiece, but I've never played it myself.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 5 14:44:18 2018 No.5200671 >>5200621 You pretty much nee to use a map from online to play it, but barring that it's decent.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 5 22:06:00 2018 No.5201330 >>5200621 I played it for the first time mid-2000s, didn't need a map or guide or anything. The fact that the game is divided into zones means you're not likely to accidentally backtrack. Enjoyed it a lot.

It does. It does a very good job at setting and maintaining a tone of tension and mild horror, which carries the game. The game is super linear (I don't even know why the other anon said you need a map, the only game more linear than 2 is Fusion) and pretty easy, but you should absolutely play it, preferably after playing Metroid 1 so you know just what kind of motherfuckers the Metroid species is and why the second game's plot is happening in the first place.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 6 00:11:04 2018 No.5201519 >>5201512 I didn't even know they were called Metroids until after I beat the game and started looking stuff up. I did know Samus is a girl from playing Smash.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 6 02:39:46 2018 No.5201717 >>5200608 Link's Awakening is better than the Oracle games without question. They're both worth playing if you've gone through Link's Awakening enough though.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 6 02:42:09 2018 No.5201721 >>5200621 It's great. Doesn't need a map, if anyone had anything to complain about it's that it is too linear (even more so than Fusion).

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 6 02:51:39 2018 No.5201734 >>5195884 I have a GB Boy Colour and Links Awakening DX has a weird glitch in the 4th (or maybe 5th it's been a while) dungeon where Link becomes invisible. It works fine on my normal Game Boys, Super Game Boy or Game Boy Player though.
