This is the new and updated Game Boy & Game Boy Color-Essentials topic.
The layout will be about the same as ever and the rules are:
All games will be sorted alphabetically as I decided that I won't show the exact number of votes for each game.Rules by Dice said:If there is a game already on the list that you think should not be there let me know and it'll have a point removed (so if there are more negative than positive votes then the game will be removed entirely off the list).
You may also recommend some more games in a future post but: (1) you must not repeat any game you have already mentioned and (2) you must make a new post, do NOT edit your previous post as it may not be seen.
I also tried to determine whether a game is available in color on a GBC system, or enhanced if you play it on the Super Game Boy, by adding the following codes to the names:
(C) = Game Boy Color version
(S) = Super Game Boy version
(S/C) = there are two versions of the game available or the game is enhanced if played on the Super Game Boy
I'm sorry, but there's no easy way to tell if a game is GBC only or enhanced on the Super Game Boy. Corrections are welcome!
