Gaming

Mole Mania is pretty fun. And Gameboy donkey Kong is pretty fun, and it's way more than just an arcade port. It's has way more levels and the format is different. It also has a pretty fun move set.

Metroid 2, because there's a reason there have been so many fanmade remakes of it...

But I also dug Ultima Runes of Virtue 2... If you ignore the canon. Superior to the SNES version IMO.

Mysterium was also nifty.

Sonic Advance for Gameboy Advance...

Runner up is Super Momotaro Dentetsu II. A game that makes zero sense if you can't read Japanese, but it is very hilarious if you can and are familiar with the culture. In a nutshell, take the absurd length and buying property element of Monopoly, then the bullshit luck-based elements from Mario Party, mix together with a healthy dose of recreational drugs, and you get this game.

Trailer, Bit of Gameplay... Funny thing is they announced their 24th instalment in the series this year for the Nintendo Switch:

shantae for gbc! its a really cute sort of metroidvania thing.

That strange Lord of the Rings turn based strategy game.

I absolutely love the Duck Tales game for the original Gameboy.
A few years back I also played the Bill & Ted's Excellent Game Boy Adventure which was surprisingly good.

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Played a lot of that on my SP

The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age for GBA, I had so much fun playing hotseat with my friends.

Honourable mentions for: Tetris, Battlebots and The March of Penguins.

Does GBA count? Cause FF Tactics Advanced games were awesome.

The GBA castlevania games own

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance GBA, Links Awakening OG Gameboy

Dragon Warrior Monsters for the Gameboy Color was fantastic. It was somewhat similar to pokemon, but had some features that pokemon didn't get for several iterations, like having your monsters follow you around, monster breeding, and multi-monster fighting.

Magi Nation was also good, similar vein to both of them, but felt darker in tone. Although maybe that's just how it seemed to a much younger me.

I have been playing Motocross Maniacs off and on for 30 years or so. Back when we had a magazine rack in the bathroom we eventually just left the Game Boy sitting in there.

I used to really like the Shaman King GBA game when I was a kid

I was given a copy of Azure Dreams for the Gameboy Color, this thing had no picture on the cartridge anymore and was a piece of paper with the word Azure Dreams written on it. I remember playing the absolute shit out of that game. I still have it, but haven’t played it in decades.

The port of FF4 on the GBA was really good.

Original Gameboy, though, I played a LOT of the Tomogotchi game. I don't know why, but I loved that janky garbage pile of a game.

Wario Land 2 was a constant as well.

Not exactly my favorite (because we already know Pokémon is) but I do remember playing Tetris a lot. My mom had bought one of the giant grey Gameboys with black & white display in the early 90's and that thing lasted as long as any of the other handhelds we got throughout the years.

Weirdly the Metroid games for GBA and Kingdom Hearts chain of memories

Fire Emblem 7 a.k.a The Blazing Sword

Pocket Bomberman (GBC), Wario Land (GB), Wario Land II (GBC), Bubble Bobble Old and New (GBA), Donkey Kong '94 (GB), Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby's Dream Land 2 (GB), Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland (GBA), Kirby and the Amazing Mirror (GBA), Dr. Mario (GB), Tetris (GB), and Tetris DX (GBC), Mario's Picross (GB).

I loved kid Icarus. Played the shit out of the game when I was a kid. That a Kirby's Dreamland were my two favorites that I can recall right now.

Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets (GBC). I'm convinced it's what got me into JRPGs because of the similarities, despite being a western game. It was localized to my language (Swedish) which was not the case for most games (like pokemon), so young me could actually understand what was going on for once. I really like the art in it too.

Advance Wars.

Kirby's block ball was a great Gameboy game. I remember one I liked a lot called lock n' chase, name could be wrong but I'm sure it's close

Advance wars, I just picked up the reboot for the switch

So I grew up playing James Bond 007 on my OG Game Boy. It wasn't the greatest game in the world but it provided hours of fun on car trips when I was a kid.

Been playing road rash (GBC) and its nice

Kirby games are nice too

The ~~Pokemon~~ Trading Card Game

But for real, the Harry Potter early year games were so addictive to younger me. Haven't tried a replay with them. Also thoroughly enjoyed the Star Wars Podracing game. Simple, frustrating but you get good eventually. Lastly, Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga (hopefully this is the correct game). Got it from a cousin one summer and couldn't put it down.

If we're allowed GBA then Zelda Minish Cap or Lego Star Wars.

My favourite GBA game was Metroid Fusion, I wish I still knew where it was

The Urbz: Sims in the City for the GBA (and also the DS).
This is such a hidden gem on the GBA and my favorite GBA game I had. Had great music as well!

Final fantasy Tactics Advance and Fire Emblem the Sacred Stones
