mainly platformers and no sport games please. tried kirbies, marios, megamans, MGS:BABLE, castlevanias, ninja gaiden.
The three zelda games are good, but in terms of platformers, you have all my favs listed already except for Donkey Kong 94 which is awesome (although maybe that's one of the mario games you tried) Oh Battletoads is good too.
dammit, GB/GBC not GBA ah well, motcrosschallenge and ninja 5-0 are still great games. You tried... GB: Battletoads? Bonk? Castlevania? Contra? Gargoyle's Quest? Kirby? Metroid II? Ninja Gaiden (a little frustrating but still OK)? Ninja Turtles? Spiderman(s)? GBC: Bionic Commando? Blaster Master? Ghosts 'N Goblins? Oddworld? Rayman? Tomb Raider? The ones in italics are ones I owned way back in the days from when NES and GB ruled the consoles, I probably even have some of them still stashed away who knows where along with my GB. My truly favorite games for the GB were the Final Fantasy Adventure games, though I have made time at one point or another to play all the of the above ones even if just to see what they were all about.
Zelda Oracle of whatevers, Link's Awakening Tetris for GB. I believe it would be more challenging than on DS without the infinite spin
My favourite was the Wario Land game that let you choose the path, you know, where you could choose right at the beginning wether to wake up or not. I can't remember if it was Wario Land 2 or 3. But that was and is my most favourite GBC game.
It's a bit cheap. You could basically keep playing to max score by spinning infinitely. I got bored of it at around 250k so I killed myself. Can't get any faster either. You also can't save blocks, so the GB Tetris is a bigger challenge
Azure Dreams is a good RPG if you don't get bored with it, which admittedly is somewhat easy to do. Pinball: Revenge of the Gator is another fun time-killer.
