What games for Game Boy (not GBA) would you consider classics?


Recommended Posts

My personal favorite GB games (That I of course would consider classics) would be:

 

Super Mario Land

Super Mario Land 2: The 6 Coins

Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land (My favorite of the trilogy)

Donkey Kong

Kibry Dreamland

Wario Land 2

Pokemon Red (after that the series just kept repeating it's self)

Donkey Kong Land

 

I have a feeling there is a few I'm missing though :ponder: .

I came into this thread hoping to see someone had listed this one. I remember being underwhelmed by the graphics when it came out-- which says a lot in a day when Watara-Supervision-esque games like Daedalian Opus were coming out-- but the gameplay was spot-on, like a faster-paced, insane version of Excitebike.

For the most i'd agree with most of the games mentioned (the ones i've played at least). To add a good one I didn't see mentioned, how about Ninja Gaiden Shadow. I just played through the game this week and I really enjoyed it.

 

Sure it may not be a true Ninja Gaiden game, considering Tecmo bought the rights to Shadow of the Ninja and used elements from both games but I enjoyed Shadow of the Ninja as well and this was a great mix of the two games on a portable. It's also much easier than the Nes Ninja Gaiden games. This could be a good or bad thing depending on your opinion of those games.

I didn't really read the rest of this thread, so sorry if there's some overlap. Here's my list, in no specific order:

  • Metroid II
  • Pokemon (any of them)
  • Mortal Kombat II (this is the only one of the series that turned out good on the GB, the rest were thoroughly awful)
  • Kirby's Dream Land
  • Mega Man 2
  • Double Dragon
  • Operation C
  • Super Mario Land
  • Ninja Gaiden Shadow
  • Faceball 2000
  • Nemesis
  • Samurai Shodown (turned out surprisingly good on the GB)
  • World Heroes 2 Jet (ditto)
  • Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (DX version preferred)
  • Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Oracle of Seasons
  • Donkey Kong
  • Gargoyles Quest
  • TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan
  • Wizards & Warriors: Fortress of Fear
  • Ultima: Runes of Virtue 1 & 2 (though don't expect ports of the PC Utima games here)
  • Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
  • Solar Striker
  • Bugs Bunny Crazy Castles
  • Duck Tales
  • Raging Fighter
  • Alleyway
  • Quarth
  • Mercenary Force
  • Altered Space
  • Space Invaders (play it through a Super Gameboy for maximum win)
  • Game & Watch Gallery (all of 'em)
  • Tetris
  • Motocross Maniacs
  • Super Mario Bros DX
  • Mario's Picross
  • Revenge of the Gator
  • Penguin Wars
  • Bubble Ghost
  • Nail 'n Scale
  • Trax
  • Tetris Blast
  • Adventure Island series
  • Balloon Kid
  • Burai Fighter Deluxe
  • Harvest Moon
  • Kid Icarus
  • Kirby's Star Stacker
  • Mickey's Dangerous Chase

As you can see, I'm a big fan of the B&W Game Boy :) I'm sure I forgot about a ton of great games in there, but that should cover most bases. I intentionally left out classic arcade ports like Lock & Chase and Burgertime, though in general, most of the classic ports the GB got turned out very well, so get 'em if you liked the originals!
