What Are Your Favorite Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Gameboy Advance Games?

I will put up some of my favorites.

I'll add more as we go along, but one of my favs on the OG GB was Cosmotank. The music was epic, and the game itself really pushed what the GB could do. 3 Distinct games in 1! One of which was a (quasi) 3D shooter.

And the best part? Despite pushing the envelope on the tech, no bugs or glitches! I never had a single crash or glitch, and I played that game more than the game testers did.

The only downside is that it (like many Old School games) was punishing for its difficulty. There was no save or password feature, and one death (which could come at any time) would knock you down the upgrade tree - making you restart with your little pea-shooter of a weapon. It really made you super-careful when your energy was low, and boy did my hands get sweaty knowing the consequences of losing even a single life. But it was still so much fun.

So many amazing games on those systems! I don't know where to start! Here's a few off the top of my head:

Gameboy:

Mario Land
Final Fantasy Adventure (actually a Secret of Mana game)
Pokemon TCG
Metroid 2
Links Awakening
Wario Land
Tetris
*** Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters (way better than the NES *** Icarus and no one talks about it)

Pokemon Red and Pokemon Silver

I'm re-playing them right now

I probably would say the Nintendo platform games like Mario, Wario and Donkey Kong Land games.

Started playing Final Fantasy Adventure because of this thread. They released a Mana collection on Switch so I rented it.

Thanks for all the great responses, fellas. I’m an older gamer who likes simple games that don’t even require shoulder buttons. ******* developers to stay within the technological power of these portable systems made for some creative and sometimes great surprise outcomes. I will never grow tired of the Nintendo Portable Systems.

Everdrive or EZ Flash Omega are two really good flash carts you might consider buying.

It's good to have flash carts for your GB, GBC, and GBA. Get an Everdrive or EZ-Flash then you can have all the games.

For those of you who have a Nintendo 3DS the eShop will be closing soon. Get your games ASAP. I just expanded my microSD Card to 32GB and bought some games.

This one was digital download only...

I loved playing Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman so much. It was the last game I ever bought for the original Game Boy.

I remember recalling how easy this was. Some levels I could do blindfolded because all you had to do was literally just press right and ******. For Rocksteady, you didn't even have to move, you could just stand there and hit ******, and he would just run into your weapons for you.

Compare that with

which was a total **** up call in terms of difficulty, but also a really great game to play.
