Thanks for this Destructobot. I just came to this forum looking for some Gameboy Color recommendations. I wanna use them on the newest Lameboy. One stupid question(for someone that didn't do a whole lot of GB and GBC gaming) how do I differentiate which game is for gb and which is for gbc?

Thanks.

Resident Evil Gaiden

hell it was definitely unique

 

[Destructobot]

how do I differentiate which game is for gb and which is for gbc?

You can't really tell from my list. You'll have to look the games up in a release list or google them or something.
