I have a massive GBC, these are some games I enjoyed playing,
Donkey Kong Land 1, 2 and 3
Zelda Seasons and Ages
Pokémon Red/Blue and Silver/Gold
James Bond 007
Super Mario Land
Just to name afew.
Lufia: The Legend Returns
Great story and deep combat, but you need to enjoy randomly generated dungeons. That's not everyone's cup of tea.
in terms of actual GBC carts... (rather than some of the GB or hybrid games mentioned in this thread like Pokemon and such)
Such a great game by camelot, great rpg elements and graphics blew me away back in the day. A handheld with such a feature filled golf title.
Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

If you can afford it. Authentic carts run hundreds of dollars.
Unfortunately, I doubt that many GBC carts (whose games require saving) are playable anymore unless you are willing to change out the save batteries. Even if you do change out the batteries, you will likely be back to having the same problem in another 8-10 years because the batteries just don't last that long.
Unfortunately, GBC was the last Nintendo generation that didn't use flash memory for saving game status (which is disappointing because even the N64 carts used flash memory). This is why I am personally building my GBA collection and not going near the GBC: it's nice to know that I can reliably save my games and not lose the data in the near future. There are definitely games that I would love to play on the GBC like Lufia the Legend Returns, but I am opting to play Lufia Ruins of Lore for the GBA on my gameboy player instead.

Yes, those are obvious!
| Ganoncrotch said: Azure Dreams was a really cool title that I sunk a ton of time into, it's not exactly a GBC game it's one of the black cart games which works on the OG Gameboy but also gets correct colours when used with a GBC Sorry if that video has odd audio, I just wanted to link some gameplay so you could see the type of game that it is. One bad thing about the game which I recall was there was certain enemies who could hit your mon with a permanent level down move, if you killed those enemies after they hit you with it you would recover your level... but if you were say lvl 15 and 75% into the level when you got hit you would go to 14 then if you killed it you would go to 15... and no exp, so later on in the game they really really hurt. The game was one of the first I played which featured rogue like procedurally generated stages. |
I'm a sucker for rogue-likes. I'll try to hunt this down.

Wait, what is Last Bible? Where does it fit in the SMT series? Already planning on getting repro carts of the SNES SMT games. Is this a remake of one of those games or its own thing?
Final Fantasy Legend gets a spot for sure. RPG Gamer liked it well enough.

lol no. Too rich for my blood!
| HylianSwordsman said: Wario Land 3. Plays quite different from Mario games and even other Wario games. You go through levels to find keys, then find the treasure chest they go to. You cannot die, only be injured in ways that look like they came from a Looney Tunes cartoon. Getting hurt in these ways is actually a huge part of the game, as they're effectively powerups. Get smooshed by a crushing enemy or obstacle, and you become a pancake, and can float down gently like paper and fit into cracks, for example. There are also numerous treasures that either affect other areas in the game (turn day to night, make an obstacle disappear, etc) or give you a new ability. In this way, even though it has levels, it plays somewhat similar to a Metroidvania. Progress as far as you can in each area, note things you couldn't do, unlock new abilities or find new ways around things and come back later to progress more. Just because you can't die doesn't mean it isn't hard, by the way. This isn't Kirby's Epic Yarn. This is a game where you fight bosses and they inflict you with statuses that in other situations might be a powerup, but in the boss' arena is incredibly inconvenient and usually knocks you out of the arena, perhaps falling a great ways or into a current too strong for you so that you lose a ton of progress. So bosses are usually quite challenging and you often can't let yourself get hit. The regular puzzle platforming challenges are often pretty tough too. |
Yeah Super Mario Land 1-3 (A.K.A. Wario Land 3) will make the list for sure.
| Jumpin said: Dragon Quest 3 |
I've played it. It's good. Hasn't aged all that well IMO, but too iconic of a game not to put in the collection.
| GoOnKid said: Lufia: The Legend Returns Great story and deep combat, but you need to enjoy randomly generated dungeons. That's not everyone's cup of tea. |
I still have to find a copy of Lufia and the Rise of the Sinistrals for SNES. If I like that one, I"ll grab this one too.

Yeah, I'll add that. I picked up Golf Story and liked it. So this should be the game that inspired that one right?

Changing a battery in a GB/GBC cart is simple. They last 10 years, which is long enough for me.
