Catrap is a funny little puzzle game. Heiankyo Alien is a port of a really classic maze game.

Surprised to see nobody recommend Mega Man V, which unlike its predecessors is a bespoke entry, very cool.

The Legend of Zelda Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons are both great.

How come they developed for iOS and not Android? I get why you wouldn't port it on mobile at all so you don't have to deal with a touchscreen but I don't see why an open source project would go for the walled garden and neglect the more flexible and cheaper alternative

If you like retro Legend of Zelda, try Crystalis

Some that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

  • Final Fantasy Adventure (first Mana game)
  • Castlevania II
  • Mario's Picross (if you're into picross)
  • Kirby's Dream Land 2
  • Super Mario Land 2
  • Mole Mania (if you like sokobans)

Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge goes so hard waow-based

[-] nemmybun@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Yes! It's really incredible what they could accomplish on the GB. I wish the other two games were better.

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

yea Legends moment

Donkey Kong 94 - great puzzle platformer

Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru - Japan-only, but has an English patch. A lot of stuff from Link's Awakening was prototyped in this game

Kaeru no Tame

FrogPog

Damn if this were released in English it would have been my whole identity as a kid

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

There's an English patch so now it can be your whole identity as an adult!

It's really good, though. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes Zelda games. Prince Richard from Link's Awakening is originally from this game.

It's on the Japanese Switch Virtual Console (in Japanese though), too!

Wario Land, especially 2 and 3. 1 is good too, just very different from later entries.

[-] dannoffs@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Wario Land 3 is hands down the best GBC game.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Whoops, forgot that was a gbc game

Oh well, play it anyway it's fantastic

[-] dannoffs@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Sameboy does GBC too so it's all good

[-] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

final fantasy legend series, old school saga frontier games

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Noted. Haven't tried these yet.

[-] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Also check out battle for Olympus, it's like Zelda. Also Sword of Hope 1 and 2.

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Tetris blast

[-] AndJusticeForAll@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

The two Pokemon TCG games on GBC are really fun.

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

There's an English translated rom.

I have it on my R4DS cart i think lol i have no idea where that is

[-] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

If I can find my r4 I'll go hunting!
