Will fill in the rest later


Sorry, these are all Game Boy Color games, so don't count for this list.

You can check out our GBC top 10 here.


Crystal is, as it didn't work on the original GB (had a clear case).

But what about the likes of Gold and Silver (coloured matt plastic case) which worked on all types of GB?

I think as we covered them in the GBC list, my instinct would be to keep them off this list, but if they get enough votes I'll add them. A bit of a moot point at the moment, as they've only go two votes so far.

Okay, let's see:

Pokemon Red / Blue
Zelda Link's Awakening
Donkey Kong '94
Super RC Pro-Am
Sensible Soccer
Metroid II
Kirby's Pinball Land
Who Framer Roger Rabbit
Super Mario Land 2
Wave Race

Roger Rabbit is probably terrible, but I have fond memories of it at least.

Pokemon Gold/Silver was a Game Boy Color game anyways, and so should not have been eligable.

Tetris is a worthy winner, though it's a shame more folks have not had the pleasure of the classic that is Kirby's Pinball Land.

We talked about Pokemon Gold/Silver, and as you can play them on the original Game Boy I decided to admit them.

Nice work Celer!

Tennis is a bit of a surprise, ha. I'd most likely vote in the port of Mario Tennis on a GBC list

You might be thinking of Pokémon Crystal, which was a Game Boy Color game. Gold and Silver both had original Game Boy cartridges, which were a different shape to Color cartridges.

I probably only own 10 game gear games, probably only played 30 guess most people will be in a similar situation in regards to how much they've played, should make things interesting.
