Gameboy Color Must-Haves

[le geek]

Since picking up a NGPC, it got me thinking about the old GBC. What are the good games for it? I did a search and found this topic but it lumps Gameboy and Gameboy Color games together.

It just puts the games in color, but all four volumes of the Konami GB Collection (European exclusive under that name; there's also a Japanese version) have classic Game Boy titles in color. They play just fine on a B&W GB, too.

Legend of Zelda, The: Link's Awakening DX
Legend of Zelda, The: Oracle of Ages*
Legend of Zelda, The: Oracle of Seasons*

All AMAZING games. Must-Buys.

Add to this the first couple of Pokémon games (Blue/Red). Sure, the series have had a bit of change since, but this is still the best 2 in the series, if only because this is where it all began.

[Sniderman]

Dragon’s Lair. Without a doubt, the most mind-blowing arcade-to-GBC translation I’ve ever seen. The fact that they crammed a laser disc game onto a GB cart still amazes me.

Ahh, but Blue/Red is for B+W Gameboy. Would you like to change your vote to Pokemon Gold/Silver?

Metal Gear Solid is a great GBC-exclusive game. Also, Shadowgate Classic is a pretty faithful translation of the NES version, but I don't know if I'd call it a must-buy.

[DDCecil]

Mine would be Dragon Warrior 3 (Cramming the entire SFC port minus the battle backgrounds!) and Super Mario Bros. DX.

[Mr. Smashy]

If anybody here is looking for a mint complete Oracle of Ages, let me know.

[Super Mario Fan]

Mario Golf is an absolute must have, I have clocked over 50 hours on that bad boy, and I still play it every day. It's just so great, and anyone who owns a GBC should own this gem.

[Jive3D]

Deja Vu I & II - The Case Files of Ace Harding

Doh! You're right! Then, Gold/Silver it is!

[drwily008]

My votes are for the 3 Dragon Warriors:

Dragon Warrior I & II
Dragon Warrior III

and Crystalis

I love all of those games and wouldn't give them up for anything!

[chrisbid]

the crystalis remake was a tragedy... *votes ney*

YAY votes....

Super Mario Bros. DX
Dragon Warrior I & II
Dragon Warrior III
Mr Driller
Mario Golf

[GobopopRevisited]

Kirby Tilt'n Tumble is good fun. Mario Tennis too.

But best of all, IMO- Warlocked

[Slimedog]

All of the above were great. In addition, I had a good time with:

Game & Watch Gallery 2
Game & Watch Gallery 3
Heroes of Might & Magic
Monster Rancher Battle Card
Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword

It looks like I posted too late. All my favorites were spoken for.

Dragon’s Lair. Without a doubt, the most mind-blowing arcade-to-GBC translation I’ve ever seen. The fact that they crammed a laser disc game onto a GB cart still amazes me.

Add an AYE for me here.

I'd like to nominate Pokemon Pinball as well.
