Tell me about some fun games playable on the Super Game Boy
« on: February 07, 2013, 02:06:22 PM »
Today I picked up a Super Game Boy to play my meager Game Boy/Game Boy Color collection on a TV when the Gamecube isn't hooked up.  I currently have Bonk's Adventure, Alleyway, and R-Type DX (Game Boy Color), all of which I enjoy playing.  Almost beat Bonk's Adventure tonight on the Super Game Boy. :D

My little brother had a Game Boy back when they were new, but I don't remember playing too many games for it.  I had a Turbo Express so there really was no reason to stoop to the lowly Game Boy. :P

So I really don't know much about the Game Boy's library.  How has it held up?  Any must have games?  Any games that didn't get a lot of fanfare bitd but really stand out now? 

This is mostly to play on a TV - I have a Game Boy Advance LT SP, which I've been playing more of lately while my Express is turning into RoboCop at Steve's place, but my old eyes just can't take handheld gaming like they used to.

Any suggestions?

There are about 100 must play games on the Gameboy and Gameboy Color.

I love the original Mario Land, because it is the most unique side-scrolling Mario to this day (except for Mario 2 NES, but that doesn't count).  Gargoyle's Quest is pretty awesome too.  You definitely should give a Pokemon game a chance too.

You got at least 100 games to get though, so get cracking!

final fantasy adventure, final fantasy legends 1-3, super mario land 1-3, nemesis. Also, if you have kids, you can get a gameboy camera and printer and mod the super gameboy to run the printer as well as add a headphone jack for much better bass and sound.

Donkey Kong '94. That thing is THE SHIT. Its a f*cking great game to begin with but it also uses more Super Gameboy capability than any other title.

Castlevania The Adventure I and II.
A lot of people hate the first game, but honestly it's a good solid challenge, and has one of the best levels in the entire series.  Very unappreciated game, I really hate Legends though.

Itchy & Scratchy's Miniture Golf Madness.
The best Simpson's based game ever.  It's absolute genius.

A great game.  I must have around 150 GB carts, but for now I say DK and Mole Mania.

TRUST ME ON THIS.

Metroid II
Nemesis I & II (or Gradius: Interstellar Assault)
Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
Galaga & Galaxian

Also, if you can track down a copy of Sagaia for a halfway decent price, it's a solid shmup with some great bosses.  Oh, and you owe it to yourself to get Tetris, as it's the best version of the game I've yet played and it's dirt cheap.
Play Turbografx.
Play the Turbografx. PLAY
THE TURBOGRAFX!!!!!!

Buh buh buh, I have almost all teh games evar.  I R TEH BESTEST COLLECTR!!

Wow, thanks for all the great suggestions!  Keep 'em coming! I think the only games listed so far that I've played (and intend to pick up) are Tetris and Super Mario Land.  I've seen some of these at the local used-stuff stores so I may have to pick a few up soon. :)
