Dragon Warrior Monsters. It's like Pokemon mixed with Dragon Quest, and you get to breed your monsters and make awesome new ones!

Thanks for the replies guys, what genre are the Zelda games? RPG? Never played a Zelda game before.

To answer a few questions as to why I'm buying a GB Color, put it down to a spurr of the moment kinda thing.

Slightly off topic but; I'm also contemplating buying a N64, but that would mean I would have to take away one of three machines I have hooked up to my TV (PS3, PS2, Wii) it would likely be a trade, a Nintendo system for a Nintendo system, I just couldn't bare taking down my Ps2, I still play it alot. And as I have a few games lined up for the Wii during the Christmas period. The purchase of a N64 would be probably a couple of months after Christmas, but could you answer me this? What sort of connection does the N64 have? Would it hook up to a HDTV without any problems?

Since we're including original GB games(and why not) like Mario Land..

Kid Icarus: Of Myth and Monsters.

And I'll give another mention to Metroid II.

Thanks man, great thread.

Still torn between actually getting a N64 or just downloading some of the titles on the Wii store. Will have to go have a look at a list of games that were released on the Wii store & ones that wern't then make my decision.

Trade it in for a Gameboy Advance that plays the same games... and MORE!  But seriously as everyone's been saying grab Pokemon.  And grab the Flagship Zelda games (Oracle of the Ages and Orace of the Seasons, some of the best gaming experience in my life came from those 2 games right there).  Metroid 2 is a nice little title if you wanna put the effort into it (I had the game for like 10 years and finally finished it in grade 12).  Tetris is a nice little addictive title, Dr. Mario's another one.  Kirby, any Kirby game that isn't pinball.  Street Fighter Alpha if you want the only decent fighter.  And Metal Gear Solid (Metal Gear: Ghost Babel is the alternate title).  Can't think of many more other than Megaman.


Kinda wish I'd did that, or even an Advance SP. Is the Advance SP basically just the same as the Advance in the sense that it plays Gameboy Color games?

According to Nintendo's main site it does:  http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/compatibilitychart.jsp

Pokemon silver/blue, fo lyfe dawg. There was a good tom clancy rainbow six game iirc. Spiderman, castlevania, etc. Maybe a mario? All I remember it was a blast of a gaming period in its prime. 



All of this, of course, is just my opinion.

Skyrim 100%'d. Dark Souls 100%'d. 
Dark Souls > Skyrim.
Halo 4 is the best damn FPS since Halo 3.
