The List

Title	Genre	Description	Box Art
Alien³	Adventure	This game is played from a top-down perspective, unlike the side-scrolling action of other versions. Your mission is to move around the maze-like rooms of the prison complex to collect items you need to stop the alien. Along the way you will rescue prisoners and view cut scenes based on situations in the movie.
Castlevania: The Adventure	Platformer	A bare bones Castlevania. Your power-ups are lost when you're hit and there's no sub-weapons. The platforming's awkward as well. There's a patch that boosts your movement. It's also on Konami GB Collection Vol. 1 for Game Boy Color, where it's sped up a bit to move faster (with some consequences). This game's saving grace is the soundtrack, especially the first stage's song. A spiritual remake's on Wiiware. It's a new game, but follows the story of this one.
Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge	Platformer	The much improved sequel to the first GB entry. You choose which order to beat the stages in, and each is full of tricks and traps respective to the areas. Two sub-weapons were added, Holy Water and Axes/Crosses (this one depends on which region version you play). Movement is still slow, but the level design now considers this. The soundtrack is also quite good. Arguably the best of the GB Castlevanias, and still worth playing to the end by any Castlevania fan.
Castlevania Legends	Platformer	Castlevania Legends is the third and final Castlevania title released for the original Game Boy. The game does not make use of any sub-weapons, unlike most other Castlevania titles, but relies heavily on the use of magic.
Cosmo Tank	Shoot 'em up	The player controls a tank from a variety of perspectives. The game begins on a planet's surface with an overhead view. When the player enters a tunnel, the view switches to first-person. After destroying the Life Core inside a tunnel, the player travels to a new planet through a vertically scrolling stage.
Final Fantasy Adventure	Action RPG	This is actually the first Mana game, Seiken Densetsu. Its gameplay is similar to that of the original Legend of Zelda game, but with some RPG elements. Sword of Mana is a remake of this, but many fans of the series prefer the original.
Gargoyle's Quest	Action RPG, Platformer	A platform/side scrolling adventure game with some RPG elements from Capcom. You play Firebrand, a gargoyle who has powerful claws that allow him to cling to walls and other surfaces on a verticle plane. Firebrand can also hover and fly for awhile with his wings. Destroy the enemy characters with your firery breath. The game also contains an adventure type story that is unfolded by interacting with characters from an over-head perspective.
Rolan's Curse II	Action RPG	You play as a cast of characters who you accumulate throughout the game. Each has access to different weapons and skills which are used to navigate through the world in a Zelda-ish manner. Unlike Zelda, you actually can level up. Pretty decent for an old-school romp. Can get hard even if you level up alot, as strategy and skill play a key part in boss fights.
Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, The	Action-Adventure	The first Zelda for Gameboy, Link's Awakening paved the way for the future GBC Zeldas. It introduced some new items to the series, like the Roc's Feather (which lets Link jump on command;) and reworked some older ones, such as the shield. A well-known warping glitch using the map screen allows this game to be completely broken, and can be fun to mess around with after you've beaten the game.
Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge	Platformer	The first of the Game Boy Mega Man games, it borrows the bosses and mechanics from the first two NES games. In this Game Boy version, Mega Man must fight against Ice Man, Electric Man, Cut Man, and Fire Man. After he defeats those four he battles Quick Man, Heat Man, Bubble Man, and Flash Man.
Mega Man II	Platformer	Mega Man II follows the same formula as its predecessors, meaning the player has to complete a number of side-scrolling, platforming levels that are guarded by different bosses. Mega Man can only shoot left or right. Defeating a boss rewards him with a new weapon.
Mega Man III	Platformer	Mega Man III follows the tradition of the previous Game Boy games - you must run, jump and blast your way through four boss worlds. This is the first Game Boy Mega Man title to introduce the Mega Buster from Mega Man 4 for the NES. If you hold down the B Button, you'll be able to charge up your cannon for a more powerful shot.
Mega Man IV	Platformer	The gameplay at its core is still the same as previous three Mega Man Game Boy games. There is however a new shop system implemented, by pressing the Select button on the stage select screen, the player can buy various items such as E-Tanks using "P-Chips". This game also has hidden passages where Proto Man gives Mega Man items, often giving Super Capsules that refill all the weapons energy and life energy.
Mega Man V	Platformer	Mega Man V is the fifth and last video game in the Game Boy Mega Man series. This game is notable for breaking an established trend in Mega Man titles released for the Game Boy system. Prior to Mega Man V, Mega Man games on Game Boy featured four Robot Masters from their titular NES counterpart. Mega Man V, however, featured entirely original enemy characters referred to as Stardroids rather than Robot Masters from console installments.
Metroid II: Return of Samus	Platformer	Samus Aran continues her mission to protect the galaxy on SR-388, the home planet of the Metroid lifeform, which she must now exterminate. Many Metroids have undergone further evolution, creating some dangerous fights. A well-known glitch activated by rapidly switching gun modes lets you access areas outside intended play areas, leading to massive shortcuts and possibly screwing yourself over. Beat the game before trying it, and be careful with where you save.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan	Action	This game is the first in a series of Game Boy games by Konami based on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Gameplay consists of standard side-scrolling jump-and-attack action. Occasionally, hidden bonus games appear to give your turtle bonus health points.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Back from the Sewers	Action	The second TMNT for GB brings more of the same action that we saw in the first. Back from the Sewers features 6 side-scrolling levels. In between levels, you are treated to bonus games that allow you to increase your health meter or rescue captured turtles. The music in this game is some of the best you will find on the Game Boy, recreating the theme song from the cartoon almost flawlessly, it also was one of the first games to have voice renditions on the Game Boy.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Radical Rescue	Action	April, Splinter, and all the Turtles except Michelangelo have been imprisoned by Cyber Shredder and his Foot Clan in their massive base! Are you a bad enough reptile to save your bros, master, and gal-pal? Explore the base, find keycards and beat the shit out of bosses to get cell keys to free your captive comrades. After finding another Ninja Turtle, they can swap with Mikey and each has a special ability to help you progress.
Avenging Spirit	Platformer	Jaleco takes a twisted inspiration from Kirby. You control a spirit of a recently-killed guy who still needs to sort out whodunnit. Possess enemy characters and control them, with different types having different attributes, such as health, weapons, and skills. A surprisingly solid, although creepy, game.
Balloon Kid	Platformer	The sequel to Balloon Fight. This more closely resembles the Balloon Trip mode of the original.
Bionic Commando	Platformer	A futuristic retelling of the NES story. Everything's about the same control-wise, no jumping, swinging only, gun shooting, wire-tapping, and item equipping. However, the game plays much faster and smoother. The soundtrack has NES remixes and some new songs, and despite being on GB, sounds fantastic. There's also passwords if you buy a real cart.
Donkey Kong	Platformer	A remake of the original Donkey Kong for the Game Boy, plus 97 new, original levels. The player takes control of Mario and must rescue Pauline from Donkey Kong (who are both given updated character designs for this game). Donkey Kong Jr. also makes a guest appearance in the game on some levels, helping his father hinder Mario's progress.
Donkey Kong Land	Platformer	Cranky Kong, jealous of all the success Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have had from Donkey Kong Counrty states that the only reason their first adventure was such a big hit was because of all the fanciful graphics and sound. He challenges that they'd never cut it on an 8-bit system (Game Boy), and then proceeds to get King K. Rool to steal the banana hoard once again. King K. Rool agrees with Cranky and steals the bananas again.
Duck Tales	Platformer	The game features a 2D side-scrolling platform gameplay very similar to Mega Man. Graphics are cartoonish and well-done, with memorable music, and controls are very simple. Warning: If you've played the NES version, there's a slight difference in jumping that makes this a bit harder
Duck Tales 2	Platformer	A port of the NES version. Scrooge's main attack is his cane - by jumping in the air and holding B, the cane turns into a pogo stick, letting him jump onto most enemies' heads and cross dangerous terrain like spikes with ease. When against a wall or an object, Scrooge can golf-club it with his cane, sending the object flying or occasionally revealing secret items. New to Duck Tales 2 is the ability to push and pull certain objects with the cane after hitting them.
Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters	Platformer	The much improved sequel to the NES game. Never released in Japan strangely.
Kirby's Dream Land	Platformer	The original Kirby title. A short, fun game.
Kirby's Dream Land 2	Platformer	Adds Kirby's animal friends to the mix. Each lets him use powers in different ways. Short and easy, like most Kirby games, but the rainbow drops give it some much needed depth.
Super Mario Land	Platformer	A short, easy Mario game.
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins	Platformer	Another short, easy Mario game. It introduced Wario.
The Rescue of Princess Blobette	Platformer, Puzzle	Pretty much plays exactly like A Boy and His Blob on NES, this sequel offers a new adventure for the duo (except now they're stuck in a castle!). As usual, feed jellybeans to Blob to solve puzzles vi his transformations. Easily just as satisfying as the original, give this gem a shot.
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3	Platformer	A great puzzle/platformer game where Wario searches a variety of stages in search of coins and treasure.
Alleyway	Puzzle	A Breakout clone.
Adventures of Lolo	Puzzle	(First off: Play the European version. It has 144 puzzles versus the Japanese 50.) After his NES adventures, Lolo and his family go to an amusement park. But that bastard King Egger shut everything down, so Lolo goes through mazes and stages to get it up and running again. Make your way to the exit by solving puzzles and beating baddies. Features a tutorial mode for beginners to the series and has Super Game Boy support.
Catrap	Puzzle	A deceptively cute and innocent puzzle game that shows it's truly vicious side after the first handful of levels. You really have to bust your brain later on to get through the harder puzzles. Thankfully, it includes an in-game rewind function.
Cavenoire	Roguelike	A Japanese-only, but simple to understand Roguelike puzzler. There are different dungeons with different goals to accomplish. However, the dungeons are randomly generated, and feature many monsters, tricks, and traps to get through. Thankfully, you can find some power-ups to even the score. A nice way to kill time and arguably the roguelike spiritual predecessor to short-burst RPG, Half-Minute Hero, available on PSP.
Game & Watch Gallery	Arcade	This game features 4 classic Game & Watch games.
Harvest Moon GB	Sim	A farm simulation game for the Game Boy
Mole Mania	Puzzle	A neat two-layer puzzle game that has you playing as a tunneling mole. Get to the exit by pushing and shoving objects, digging underground, and trapping and defeating enemies as you try to one-up an asshole farmer.
Puyo Puyo	Puzzle	Stacking Puzzle game. If you've ever played Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine or Kirby's Avalanche, you've played this game. Japanese only.
Revenge of the 'Gator	Pinball	A pinball game featureing a kick ass 'Gator theme.
Tetris	Puzzle	IT"S FUCKING TETRIS!!! This is the game you, your sisters, even your mom played endlessly for hours and you loved it.
Motocross Maniacs	Racing	A side scrolling racing game with platform elements.
Final Fantasy Legend II	RPG	The FFL series is known as the SaGa series in Japan. You have 3 basic types of allies: Humans, (balanced fighting and magic) and Mutants/Espers (good at magic), and Robots (good at fighting). A 4th type, Monsters, can eat meat from enemies and change into different critters with different specialties. Has a twisted plot involving a giant tower and killing gods from myth. Has excellent music. A remake for the DS is out in Japan.
Final Fantasy Legend III	RPG	Four kids and some "guest" characters, fight monsters and save the world. Business as usual; BUT, you must time travel between Past, Present, and Future, to stop another dimension that's been flooding them. Like FFL2, consuming parts from enemies turns a chosen ally into a critter. The soundtrack is quite good, the gameplay is basic, but the plot gets pretty fucked up. Its spiritual successor is the Romancing SaGa series.
Pokémon Red & Blue	RPG	The first games of the Pokémon franchise. Released simultaneously, both games have exclusive Pokémon that you can trade to complete your Pokédex or evolve certain Pokémon. You can also battle other trainers via the Game Boy Link cable. They received updated rereleases recently as FireRed and LeafGreen for the Game Boy Advance, but if all you have is a Game Boy or Game Boy Color, these are acceptable alternatives.
Pokémon Yellow	RPG	The third version of Pokémon featured updated color (a different pallette for each town), and takes story cues from the anime's Kanto arc. Pikachu's sprite and cry was updated, and the little fellow follows around behind you, letting you know what his mood is when you talk to him.
Ikari no Yousai 2	Run n' Gun	An overhead game that plays like a more action-y Metal Gear. You have weapons with different attributes and two characters to switch between, who also have different attributes. Much-improved sequel to Fortified Zone. Had a SNES sequel, Operation Logic Bomb, but it changed up some things, so beware if you play it after this.

Game Boy Color

The List

Title	Genre	Description	Box Art
Blaster Master: Enemy Below	Action	Surprisngly NOT a straight port of the NES classic. It's more of a REMIX as several map layouts have been altered, however the general areas and settings remain the same. Pilot your badass tank, Sophia the 3rd, through assorted platforming levels. You actually do some on-foot exploration in areas Sophia can't fit in and a good chunk of these end up as overhead segments that control a bit differently. Worth playing through, even if you beat the original.
Bomberman Quest	Action/Adventure	Bomberman takes a cue from Zelda in this adventure-esque game. Bomberman crashlands on a planet and sets loose a bunch of monsters and criminals. To nab them all, he must use his bombs and other gadgets to navigate the planet and pursue the crooks. Not too shabby for his first Zelda-venture, but it has a weird OFFICIAL translation. Protip: Revisit boss fight arenas to fight various Hudson Soft characters for extra life containers.
Crystalis	Action	An action RPG/action-adventure game. Inferior to the NES version, because it clips, has a bad aspect ratio, and takes away some of the initial challenge. Still, if you gotta have Crystalis on a handheld, here it is.
Elevator Action EX	Action/Arcade	A remake of a Game Boy remix of an arcade classic. Elevator Action has you choosing one of three agents (each with different attributes) to collect intel from enemy bases. You utilize elevators, escalators, stealth procedures, and powerful firearms to navigate your way to the goods, but most importantly, doors for duck-and-cover crossfire. Simple, and a bit dated, but has pretty good replay value.
Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX, The	Action	A remake of the original game with a new color dungeon and a few other minor changes. It has the screen scrolling glitch fixed.
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages, The	Action	A Zelda where the primary mechanic from the beginning of the game is Time Travel, Ages is the more puzzling of the Oracle pair. Borrowing much of its style from Link's Awakening, it tells one of the arguably better Zelda stories.
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, The	Action	Seasons is more focused on combat versus Ages' puzzles. The Rod of Seasons lets you change the terrain at will, and while this should have produced better puzzles, it was largely ignored in favor of better bosses. Beat one of these two, then use that password in the other for a New Game +, with extra features, an additional dungeon (Bringing the pair's total to 17 together), 2 new bosses, and a fuckwin bonus ending.
Looney Tunes Collector: Alert!	Action	A Zelda clone where you use the abilities of various Looney Tunes characters to explore the world.
Mega Man Xtreme	Action	As the Rockman WORLD (GB Mega Man games) are to the NES series, so are the Mega Man Xtreme games to the Mega Man X Series. This game also features some new plot-relevant bosses to fight. Features new "auto-save points" that allow you to pick up where you left off. While you are unable to use Zero, you can later get the ability to summon him to deal an attack to one or many enemies (depending on the summon used).
Mega Man Xtreme 2	Action	See above. This game lets you use Zero, instead of just summoning him. He has different bosses to fight who don't appear in X's mode. An unlocked mode lets you switch between X and Zero at will, and lets you take on both boss sets, along with the true final boss. Features a shop that lets you buy upgrades. Some of X's obtained weapons act a bit differently, and Zero gets to learn attacks based on the PS1 games he's been in.
Metal Gear Solid (released as Metal Gear: Ghost Babel in Japan)	Action	A non-canonical 2D Metal Gear game. Plays more like the original MSXMetal Gear games. Very fun and a great entry into the series even if it has non-canon status. If you like the console versions, it's definitely worth a try.
Mission: Impossible	Action	Expect the impossible!
Donkey Kong Country	Platformer	GBC port of the SNES classic with some useless extra features and minigames. If you have to have a handheld version, it'd be preferable to go with the GBA version, but this is acceptable at least. Better than the monochrome Gameboy version, anyways.
Ganbare Goemon - Hoshizorashi Dynamites Arawaru	Platformer	A GBC remix of the SNES games. Revolves more around platforming than exploration, but there are still towns to buy goods at. Features the same old goofyness you'd expect from the series, but sadly, only Goemon and Ebisumaru are playable. However, there's still a few Impact battles, so don't get too sad. No translation available, but it's not like this game would make sense with one, and its easy to figure out anyway.
Hunter X Hunter: Kindan no Hihou	Platformer, Action-RPG	A Castlevania-esque game with some Metroidvania elements. It controls alot like the NES titles, with whip-cracking and similar physics, except you use skills and magic, instead of subweapons. Even though the game's in Japanese, and based on an anime/manga, you don't need to know either to enjoy this and complete it. There doesn't seem to be a translation patch or any FAQs on this game, but it doesn't really need one.
Super Mario Bros. Deluxe	Platformer	Remake of the original Super Mario Bros with extra stuff.
Shantae	Platformer, Metroidvania	A cult classic, with nicer looking graphics than any GBC game. A Metroidvania with a sexy-cute half-genie who can change into animals and use alot of skills later on. Sequel coming to Dsiware in 2010
Wario Land II	Platformer	More Wario Land goodness. In this game, Wario is invincible, but don't expect it to be a cakewalk. Some of the treasures and secrets are extremely difficult to get.
Wario Land 3	Platformer	Very similar to Wario Land 2. Has a day/night feautre that alters stages.
Game & Watch Gallery 2	Arcade	This game features 6 classic Game & Watch games.
Game & Watch Gallery 3	Arcade	This game features 11 classic Game & Watch games.
Harvest Moon GBC	Sim	Remake of Harvest Moon GB for the Game Boy Color.
Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble	Puzzle	Think proto-Super Monkey Ball. Uses tilt control in the cartridge. It's worth it to find an actual cart though.
Little Magic	Puzzle	Little Magic borrows some aspects from Sokoban and Lolo in placing certain items in slots. However, you also have a magic bubble which, upon exploding, can push objects around. The first levels are cake, but after that you need mastery of the bubble and careful planning if you even think about getting through stages. Japanese only, but a translation patch is available for the rom.
Monster Rancher Explorer	Puzzle/Other	Has very little to do with Monster Rancher. Regardless of that, this is actually a Solomon's Key spinoff. For those not in the know, you go through a series of puzzle rooms, where you must escape and slay monsters. You do so with your magic wand/pickaxe which lets your create or destroy climbable blocks. This also has a few fairly clever "giant monster" boss fights that require some strategy and quick fingers.
Pocket Bomberman	Puzzle/Other	The action in Pocket Bomberman follows the rules of most other Bomberman games. However, this game is also a platformer. In that regard, it is arguably the spiritual predecessor of Bomberman Hero. The game as a whole is short, but sweet. Although it still has passwords if you can't beat it in one go.
Pokémon Puzzle Challenge	Puzzle/Other	Sequel-Spinoff to Pokémon Puzzle League. This takes place in the Johto country with GSC monsters and trainers to face. Match color-blocks and combo your way to victory. Lacks most of the N64 modes, sticking with more basic SNES stuff, but still pretty enjoyable. Features some heavy difficulty on the harder modes.
Pokémon Pinball	Puzzle/Other	Pinball featuring Pokémon. Actually has a built in Rumblepack. Delicious!
Tetris DX	Puzzle/Other	It's the Tetris you love, IN COLOR!!! What more do you want?
Toki Tori	Puzzle/Other	Puzzle game that is as cutesy as it gets brutally hard, you are a chick out to rescue your egg-napped brethren in a style reminiscent to Lost Vikings. This gem was released at the death of the Game Boy Color and was largely ignored. Still, it proved enough of a concept to warrant rereleases and updates for WiiWare and Iphone.
Driver	Racing	Port of the playstation game.
Another Bible	RPG/Strategy	The spirtual precursor to Devil Surviror and a spin off of the Majin Tensei series. Plays like a cross between SMT and Shining Force. This features typical Megaten stuff of recruiting monsters (and sometimes humans) to tear shit up for you. Much more cute and light-hearted than the aforementioned games, but still pretty tough. Kind of slow, so be sure you have some way of speeding it up. In English thanks to a Fan-Translation rom patch.
Dragon Warrior I & II	RPG	A port of Dragon Quest 1+2 Remix for the SNES.  The gameplay and graphics are improved and streamlined from NES days (no more CLIMB STAIRS/OPEN DOOR here), but the goofy Old English translation has been dropped. This also adds stat-boosting seeds and a quick save option.
Dragon Warrior III	RPG	A port of Dragon Quest 3 Remix for the SNES. This adds better graphics (compared to the NES) streamlined gameplay, quick save, and stat-boosting seeds from 1+2, the Thief class (which is pretty powerful) and a rather enjoyable bonus dungeon.
Dragon Warrior Monsters	RPG	Think Pokémon, but you have (up to) 3 monsters with (up to) 10 moves on the field, as does your opponent. Includes a Breeding aspect, where 2 parent monsters give their skillsets to the child monster.Classic RPG overworld with turn-based battles, with a somewhat complex hierarchy of elements. Host world has Dungeon subworlds where you can tame more monsters. Surprisingly addictive.
Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Cobi's Journey & Tara's Adventure	RPG	Sequel to Dragon Warrior Monsters. Same gameplay and mechanics as before, but with a different story and various changes to the overworld maps. A wholly different experience from DWM without making it a bad experience. Most people consider these two games the best of the DWM/DQM series. Give these a try if you're tired of Pokémon.
Lufia: The Legend Returns	RPG	A black sheep in the Lufia series. Foregoes the puzzle elements of the first two games in favor of rogue-like styled dungeons. Pretty good, despite what the purists say, but the new battle system takes some time to get used to.
Magi Nation	RPG	Imagine Final Fantasy mixed with Pokémon mixed with a card game, and you'll pretty much have Magi-Nation. Features a pretty cool battle system.
Metal Walker	RPG	It's an RPG with rock-paper-scissor styled mechanics, but plays like biliards where you ram your robot into the enemy bot. You start off with a neutral robot with no real strengths or weaknesses. In the traversable overworld, you find parts to upgrade it, which gives it traits, but also abilities, such as sea travel, hovering, and shoving power. These abilities help you find more parts for more power. Surprisingly, alot more fun than it sounds.
Pokémon Gold & Silver	RPG	The second generation of Pokémon games, often touted as the best gen because of its improved gameplay and features. Released simultaneously, both of these games are similar fare to the first gen. Once the Johto region is completed, the player can travel to Kanto and take the gym challenge there, then face down the protagonist from the first game. You can even trade with 1st gen to get your old party back!
Pokémon Crystal	RPG	An updated version of Gold and Silver, featuring slightly improved graphics and the ability to catch Suicuine without mucking about trying to find where the hell he is. Also, the first Pokémon game to allow the option to play as a girl (a feature that was planned for the first games, but scrapped). If you want a second-gen Pokémon game, Crystal is probably your best bet.
Quest: Brian's Journey	RPG	This has NOTHING to do with that fuck-awful GBC puzzle game. This is a re-telling of the N64 game, Quest 64/Holy Magic Century. This has the same mechanics and spells but uses overhead view to simulate the 3D fields. Some spells have been re-balanced, and there's a few new bosses, but most importantly, DON'T DIE. Unlike the N64 game, dying means game over, so be careful when taking hits or raising your defense stat.
Revelations: The Demon Slayer	RPG	Aside from Jack Bros, this was the first Megaten game to hit US shores. Plays like the usual SMT fare, with demon negotiations and fusion, but draws inspiration from Dragon Quest in that the game isn't in first-person POV, but overhead. It's a bit aged, but remains very solid and quite impressive for an early GB title (this is actually just a colored version in English). However, the soundtrack is the JAMS.
Revelations 2/ Megami Tensei: Last Bible 2	RPG	The sequel originally unreleased in English shores finally got a complete fan-translation (rom patch). This game improves the systems of the first, allows monsters to equip gear as well, and is notably more difficult. Unlike the first, this has a fairly engaging narrative that won't leave you wondering what the hell you just played. The soundtrack, however, went for a more aesthetic take and is far less groovy. Note: Last Bible 3 is on the SNES, but currently does NOT have a translation patch.
Survival Kids	RPG	You're a young kid who gets lost at sea. You're all alone on a deserted island, and you have to find some way to get off. Surprisngly accurate for a GB game in featuring various states of hunger, thirst, and health- all of which can be affected by animals, food, and weather/climate of the island areas. You can also rig some basic tools together to increase your chance of surviving the wilds. Had a successor in the Lost in Blue series.
Magical Chase	Shmup	A pretty good port of the PCEngine/TurboGrafx-16 Cute'em up. Horizontal, so you'll have a few obstacles outside of enemies to deal with. Features two star-options that can be changed abit for different firing styles.
Mario Golf	Sports	It's a Mario Golf game, you pretty much know what to expect.
Mario Tennis	Sports	Tennis game with a career mode and RPG elements
Pokémon Trading Card Game	Strategy	Even though every kid collected Pokémon trading cards, no one ever played the card game. Now you can. Very fun game that kind of plays like other Pokémon games, but obviously follows the card game's ruleset. It can either be really easy or really challenging, there is no middle ground.
Worms Armageddon	Strategy	Use your little cartoon worms to blow up your opponent's little cartoon worms. Hilarity and rage ensues when you miss and kill yourself. Has a lot less content than Worms games for other systems, but still decent.
