====== Notes on Game Boy Games ======

Game Boy Color games marked ''[GBC]''

^ //After Burst// | |
| Another one of those neat, modest Game Boy action puzzle games. Here you are an astronaut, with a cannon with a variable fire angle. ||
| ||
^ //Balloon Kid// | |
| It's an extension of the Balloon Trip mode from Balloon Fight, and is even more wonderful than that sounds.\\ There's also a Japanese release called //Balloon Fight GB// for the Color which has a save function. ||
| ||
^ //Catrap// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Cave Noire// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Donkey Kong// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ [[dungeon_land|ダンジョンランド]] | |
| The multiplayer mode is great fun. Players take turns to create a dungeon---by placing walls, a boss, etc.---which the other player much make their way through, revealing one tile at a time. The menus are in Japanese, but I figured it out without any ability to read the language. ||
| ||
^ //Final Fantasy Adventure// | |
| A really solid predecessor to //Secret of Mana//—probably betters it, actually. What //[[http://[[the_legend_of_zelda_links_awakening|Link's Awakening]]// is to //[[the_legend_of_zelda_a_link_to_the_past|A Link to the Past]]//, this game is to //Secret of Mana//. There's also a nice chainy morningstar type weapon. ||
| ||
^ //Great Greed// | |
| One of those tidy, quick, frictionless game boy RPGs; this one with a food themed coating. ||
| ||
^ //[[the_legend_of_zelda_links_awakening|The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]// | also on: 3DS |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Mario's Picross// | also on: 3DS |
| Solid [[nonogame|nonogame]]. I like the archeological theme---chiselling bits away feels good, makes a great pling sound. //BGM 5// is not as ace as the [[marios_super_picross#Soundtrack|SNES version]] (//Mario Puzzle 2//) though. ||
| ||
^ //Mercenary Force// | |
| Really neat little shooter, by [[Lenar]] (the small company behind //[[gunmans_proof|Gunman's Proof]]//). The members of your 'force' function somewhat like the options we see in other shooters—though the player may care more about their safety. Each member type has a different attack pattern, and you can rearrange your formation. ||
| ||
^ //[[metroid_ii_return_of_samus|Metroid II: Return of Samus]]// | also on: 3DS |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Mole Mania// | also on: 3DS |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Mysterium// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Nail 'n' Scale// | |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Picross 2// | also on: 3DS |
|  ||
| ||
^ //Pokémon Picross// ''[GBC]'' | |
| Officially unreleased [[nintendo_game_boy#Game Boy Color|GBC]] [[nonogame|nonogame]] by [[jupiter_corporation|Jupiter]], but there's a complete ROM you can probably find ;3 along with an [[https://www.romhacking.net/translations/5702/|English translation]]. Solid game, but missing some of the nice features modern games have, like auto marking hints for completed lines. ||
