GBC Less Known GameBoy or GameBoy Color Games?

I really haven’t explored much of the GameBoy scene, so I feel like I don’t know of many original games for the GameBoy. I would love to know more games that are interesting.

The only one that I own that I might call a “hidden gem” is Pocket Bomberman. It’s an action puzzle game with platforming, and it’s one of the better single player campaigns the Bomberman series has to offer. It’s probably not THAT unknown, and might even be considered by some to be a popular game.

Are there any great games on GameBoy that are system exclusive, but are hardly talked about? Bonus points if they’re their own IP, not connected to a larger series or a tie in to an existing brand.

That one Conker game that nobody ever talks about

Yeah, Pocket Tales! It seems more like an adventure game.

I had a lot of fun with these as a kiddo:

Bill & Ted and Bubble Ghost are puzzle games - and surprisingly good ones! Cosmo Tank is more of an adventure / dungeon crawler. All three are certainly worth a look

And if you're looking for some RPG fun, the two Sword of Hope titles are a good time, too!

This game is actually special because it's possibly the only instance of a GBC game and the backwards compatible mode being two completely different games

...both are bad but still cool

Cool port. Screen crunch is a bit bad but it's whatever.

Have you tried Cave Noire? It's a neat little roguelike. I also like Little Magic, a cute Sokoban-style puzzler.

Maybe Dogz?

I found this one brand new in the box at a retro game shop a few years ago.
It's pretty fun and challenging and has mercifully short passwords.

These are some recommendations that I suggest for lesser known Game boy games.

Hey! I know this character! And this company! Bound High is my favorite Virtual Boy game. I’m excited to check this out!
