Unfortunately if you want to play on original hardware the og cart is like $600+ dollars, or there was a rerelease cart that is like $60.
That strange Lord of the Rings turn based strategy game.
If we're allowed GBA then Zelda Minish Cap or Lego Star Wars.
Advance Wars.
I loved kid Icarus. Played the shit out of the game when I was a kid. That a Kirby's Dreamland were my two favorites that I can recall right now.
The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age for GBA, I had so much fun playing hotseat with my friends.
Honourable mentions for: Tetris, Battlebots and The March of Penguins.
Here's a short list of my favorites:
- golden sun
- fire emblem
EDIT: ... didn't read the post properly. Updated the list for only game boy games *facepalm
I used to really like the Shaman King GBA game when I was a kid
- Mole Mania
- Donkey Kong Land series isn't too bad
- James Bond 007
- Bionic Commando Elite Forces (GBC)
- Donkey Kong 94
- Some random puzzle games that nobody every played like Heiankyo Alien or Battle Bull
My favourites were always Metroid II and Zelda
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I prefer it to the sequels on the DS.
Tetris, the ultimate Gameboy (not color) game!
The port of FF4 on the GBA was really good.
Original Gameboy, though, I played a LOT of the Tomogotchi game. I don't know why, but I loved that janky garbage pile of a game.
Wario Land 2 was a constant as well.
Dragon Warrior Monsters for the Gameboy Color was fantastic. It was somewhat similar to pokemon, but had some features that pokemon didn't get for several iterations, like having your monsters follow you around, monster breeding, and multi-monster fighting.
Magi Nation was also good, similar vein to both of them, but felt darker in tone. Although maybe that's just how it seemed to a much younger me.
I'm so happy you mentioned Magi Nation. I just replayed that game not too long ago and still had a blast with it, though I def had nostalgia goggles on. lol
I had completely forgotten about this game until you just mentioned it. But wow I played this so much it was fantastic.
I remember getting another dragon warrior game and being confused why it wasn’t at all like Pokémon (was more of a jrpg party building game)
Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets (GBC). I'm convinced it's what got me into JRPGs because of the similarities, despite being a western game. It was localized to my language (Swedish) which was not the case for most games (like pokemon), so young me could actually understand what was going on for once. I really like the art in it too.
Mole Mania is pretty fun. And Gameboy donkey Kong is pretty fun, and it's way more than just an arcade port. It's has way more levels and the format is different. It also has a pretty fun move set.
Pocket Bomberman (GBC), Wario Land (GB), Wario Land II (GBC), Bubble Bobble Old and New (GBA), Donkey Kong '94 (GB), Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby's Dream Land 2 (GB), Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland (GBA), Kirby and the Amazing Mirror (GBA), Dr. Mario (GB), Tetris (GB), and Tetris DX (GBC), Mario's Picross (GB).
Wario land, Metroid 2, Donkey Kong 94 are all great
Been playing road rash (GBC) and its nice
Kirby games are nice too
My favourite GBA game was Metroid Fusion, I wish I still knew where it was
If you own a Switch, it's playable on the GBA app with a Nintendo Switch Online membership.
The Urbz: Sims in the City for the GBA (and also the DS).
This is such a hidden gem on the GBA and my favorite GBA game I had. Had great music as well!
The GBA castlevania games own
I bought the various flavors of Gameboy just to play the slew of those games.
