Don't drop the fucker. I recently dropped my GBC and the speaker completely died. Everything else was Nintendium as expected, but Tetris just isn't the same without the music, man.

>> No.811491

Pokemon Crystal (my first game btw)
The Donkey Kong Country gbc port, which actually runs a lot smoother than you'd think.
Super Mario Bros. Deluxe.
Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare (amazing graphics for gbc)

A personal favourite: Pokemon Puzzle Challenge.
It's exactly the same as Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack/Pokemon Puzzle League, just pocket sized.

That game is horrible. The sprite is too big for the screen, so you don't see anything before you fall into pits or run into enemies.

My favourite portable game to this day.
