The more rare, obscure, or just a guilty pleasure, the better. Maybe you grew up with it, maybe it’s just the nostalgia talking, any reason is fine.
I’m looking for a new game to play, but I’m running out of games to collect!
My favorite is games for original DMG, but you’re welcome to include Color it’ll advance games too!
Dragon quest monsters (dragon warrior monsters in America)
This game was the bomb, I loved the monster breeding mechanics, you could breed monsters of different types to get entirely new ones.

What? Is this meant to be ironic or something? They’re two of the most popular GBC games.

For some perspective, the Oracle games are unpopular in terms of Zelda games. Zelda is one of the most widely popular video game franchises in history, though. So an unpopular Zelda game is still much more well known and well received than something more obscure.
The Oracles are some of the best selling and most well regarded GBC games in the system’s library, though they are overshadowed by Link’s Awakening DX and the glut of Pokémon games the Game Boy Color had on offer.
They never seem to be talked about in the context of Legend of Zelda games (in fact, seems like most handheld Zeldas get skipped), but they’re probably talked a lot about in the context of gameboy games.
Donkey Kong (1994) - not really rare or obscure, but definitely not talked about enough.
It starts out like regular donkey kong but then it goes somewhat differently.
The colorization is only complete with SuperGameboy so it might be tricky to play that way but there is a colorization hack being worked on.God Medicine. Genuinely one of the best classic style JRPGs and the best RPG on Gameboy in my opinion. Absolute travesty that the west never ended up getting it originally.
Rockman/Megaman EXE
Weirdly enough, my favorite Zelda game of all time is The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. Weirder still, it’s the story that I really love, driven almost entirely by the fact that it’s the least Zelda Zelda game. No, I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
I mean it’s probably entirely nostalgia, but I still hear the in-game ballad in my head from time to time.
They remade it for switch. Totally worth buying again.
$60 for a 30 year old Game Boy game? I think I’ll have to disagree that it’s worth buying again.
It’s a full remake, not like a port or a rom
It’s a full remake of a Game Boy game from 1993, and it honestly kills my faith in humanity a little bit that 6 and a half million people were falling all over themselves to pay Daddy Nintendo that much for it.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets.
Are they good games? No
But they are well themed and have chiptune version of Jeremy Soule’s soundtrack. I like replaying the, from time to time.
Ninja 5-0 for the GBA. I got out my collection recently and had no idea I owned it. It’s Elevator Action, but you’re a ninja.
It looks so much like Shinobi 3, which was my favourite Genesis game.
