The more rare, obscure, or just a guilty pleasure, the better. Maybe you grew up with it, maybe it’s just the nostalgia talking, any reason is fine.

I’m looking for a new game to play, but I’m running out of games to collect!

My favorite is games for original DMG, but you’re welcome to include Color it’ll advance games too!

    Gargoyles Quest was awesome. Love the music from Ocean games too - Hook and RoboCop come to mind.

    Bubble Ghost. I had it on a 99 in 1 cart. Might just be that it wasn’t popular where I’m from.

    A whole back when I got a Miyoo Mini, I went looking for original GB games that I missed. I found Cave Noire and it quickly became my favorite ways to kill time. It’s simple (but not easy), being a Roguelike offers some variety, and it’s just fun.

    Radar Mission. I can hear the music in my head from both game types whenever I think about it, right down to the music when the carrier launches the fighter. I enjoyed both game types a lot, though I remember getting frustrated as a kid until I learned the nuances of the opponents.

    I’ll throw Boxxle on the list. It’s one of the earliest GB games, so the graphics are pretty much what you’d expect. But it’s a great puzzle game that has a very simple premise, but requires you to perspective-shift and learn new strategies many times over as the difficulty progresses.

      Yep, Boxxle perfects Sokoban. Worth the play, if nothing for the catchy tunes and being rewarded with “YEAH!!” when you get it right

    The Moomin game is great but nobody talks about it. The two Survival Kids games are incredible as well but damn they can be depressing. They really out a full on survival game on a Game Boy. Complete with multiple endings, open world and hunger and thirst mechanics.

    My favorite GBA game is The Urbz: Sims in the City. The console version of the game wasn’t received very positively, but the GBA/DS version is a completely separate game, and a very good one. It’s a very goofy game with a lot of stupid (read: amazing) jokes, RPG elements, mini games, some of the best music in any GBA game and a lot more. I still revisit this game once in a while.

    I even played the predecessor “Sims bustin out” for the GBA a few years ago. Urbz is way more refined than bustin out, but if you liked Urbz and you want more, Bustin Out is a great way to scratch that itch.

    Ambitiousamphibian did a great video on this game a few months ago. He seems to feel exactly the same about this game as I do. Because of that, I will link it, but be aware that it contains a lot of spoilers and going blind into the game is the best way to play IMO.

    I had an Itchy and Scratchy game (from the Simpsons). It was a mini golf game that was a lot of fun.

      Yes! Got it as a present so it wasn’t on my radar but it was a pretty good puzzle game. I seem to recall playing this way more than I played Tetris.

      I have! I picked up a copy a couple of years ago. It took me a little while to realize, it’s not about clearing the screen, but about getting a high score. It’s very clever, and a little addicting!

    I ahem acquired a copy of Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak from my elementary school lost and found, played it whenever I had a minute for the next few weeks. I don’t know if I’d have the patience to play it today, but it’s still an adorable little puzzle game. The sound and animation of the actions was spot on.

    Pokemon TCG for GB was arguably the best Pokemon RPG. I’ve not played the English fanlation of 2 yet though, so maybe that’s better.

      It’s harder in my opinion. I got it on the miyoo mini plus and it’s much harder than the original in how the AI works. Which is nice. Also lots more cards.

      I got this game recently and could not put it down! I ended up accidentally beating it. 😆

      And that soundtrack… 😩
