I remember I finished Pokemon TCG in Japanese, don't ask me how. Only the tutorial was in english.

Still, learning how to play the english version of Dragon Ball Z TCG on GBA was a lot harder. (and sometimes funnier too!)

Yep, same here, I've replayed it to death. I keep hoping they will come up with another one with all of the new pokemon in it but so far they haven't, not sure why not.  They did have a trading card 2 game they relased in Japan and there is a partial translation patch for it but I still didn't find it very playable still and never really got very far in it.
I'm very surprised that Nintendo hasn't done another game since the GBC days. The first one did very well and was very well received. Instead they carry on with the boring Mysterious Dungeon games which sold fairly well but people and reviewers thought was average.

Too true. Trading card game was an amazing game, after my holiday I will have compelted it 21 times lol. Still hoping for a ds version though ( Not likely to happen)

Not wanting to re-list things so here's 2 more I can think up:
Revelations: The Demon Slayer
Dragon's Lair

The first is an RPG, a good one too, but not drastically long either. The second is a conversion of the arcade version running in whopping 2bit color mode. Short of 6 moves removed, has all the motions and scenes of the arcade intact. To make it fit, nearly no music, death/rebirth sequences are shortened...but for what it is, it's accurate.

I left out Mario Land since he specifically said GBC. Yes I know all the old stuff ran, but I intentionally left out GB/SuperGB. I could think of a LOT to toss in there I'd call must play. A sampling would be Gargoyle's Quest, Final Fantasy Legend 3, Castlevania 2 Belmont's Revenge, Nemesis and Gradius 2 (not same as arcade/nes versions,) Contra, both Mario Lands, the GBC ver of Zelda: Link's Awakening, SMB DX, Donkey Kong SGB, Mega Man 1-5 (5 is unique though,) Tetris (original only), and a lot more than that. Fair start though of where to look.

2bit color... wouldn't that be just black and white? :\

Maybe 4bit then, I don't recall what my friend told me (he was working for Digital Eclipse at the time when it came out.) I just know it has like like 8 colors going on screen at the same time. Still stuns me they got all the scenes in there basically. The one where those 8 moves got gutted from was mostly the Smithee sequence.

4 colours unless I'm mistaken? (there are 4 different combinations for 2 bits: 00, 01, 10, 11)

Anyway, try mario's picross and one of the harvest moon games

    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction

    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive

    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign
