How appropriate that for Valentine's day we take a look at the top 10 games for my first love, the Nintendo Game Boy.



If you need a reminder, here's a list of Game Boy games for you.

Remember, we're only looking for games that work on the original Game Boy and not any of the later iterations.

Just list your top 10 below (each counts for one vote, so ranking them isn't important).

Voting is open for a month, and will close on 2 March.

With the influx of ex-SONM members, I look forward to seeing what everyone nominates in this latest poll.

Link's Awakening
Super Mario Land
Kirby's Dream Land
Metroid II: Return of Samus
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
Wario Land
Gargoyle's Quest
Harvest Moon GB
Pokémon Red & Blue
Tetris

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
Pokémon Blue
Super Mario Land
Super Mario Land 2
Donkey Kong Land 2
Donkey Kong
Tetris
Mole Mania
Kirby's Dream Land
Wario Land

List wound up a bit more generic than I was hoping...but don't sleep on Mole Mania folks:



It's a super charming top down maze puzzler with astoundingly clever level design. Produced by Miyamoto too!

It's a trick vote, all Game Boy games work on the later iterations!

I'll come back to this with a proper list
