Legend of Zelda Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages.
They go hand in hand.
Completing one gets you a special code which you can use to add extra bits to the other, for example in one of them, you talk to the big goron and ask him to make you a sword.
He will, but you only get it when you complete the game and input the code in the other, and talk to the goron, you get the sword.
There are loads of other features that only become unlocked when you have both.
Very useful to have both, or find a code that has 100% unlocked for the game you didnt get. etc
I have both, but I no longer have a GBC.
Ah well.

Totally should've gone for pokemon gold or silver.

I'm borrowing Gold off my girlfriend and should be getting hold of Oracle of Seasons off a friend.
Ideally I wanted to buy Crystal. But frig me it's expensive on eBay!
I play gameboy color games on my cell phone for free using a emulator.

Get:
- All Zelda games. Link's Awakening and DX are the same, only DX has colour.
- Wario Land 1, 2 and 3. Those games really rock and are worth your time. (1 is actually GB, and 2 had 2 versions for GB and GBC).
- Either Pokémon Gold, Silver or Crystal. Crystal is newer and has more features than the other two, so you might want to buy that one.
- Super Mario Land 1 and 2 are also GB, but they're pretty nice. Wario's better though.
I collect Gameboy games, yet those are the only ones I have REALLY worth mentioning. I also didn't name many GB games because you have a GBC, but I can name a few of these if you like.
EDIT: you should have bought the GBA SP. It's better for playing GB and GBC games since you have a backlight and everything, and this extra bonus pops up in the Zelda Oracle games ("advance shop").
I'm good on the GB front. Got a nice little collection of games for that (including Links Awakening, which I wanted to replay).
So WarioLand has a GB and GBC version? I best be careful when buying then.
edit: I have an SP Davince. WIth the GBC I now own the whole Gameboy range from classic to Micro. I just wanted a GBC to finish the collection since the GB line is apparently at an end! And I've never even seen a GBC!
Lol, what a coincidence! I found my old GBC just a few days ago, and I've been playing Pokémon Yellow all week! Get the two Zelda games: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. Absolutely awesome games, those two.
- Wario Land 1, 2 and 3. Those games really rock and are worth your time. (1 is actually GB, and 2 had 2 versions for GB and GBC).
For some stupid reason, savefiles made on GB and GBC are incompatible with eachother on the GBC version.
There is a gameboy color remake of Super Mario bros. Which is pretty decent.
Yes. And later Nintendo released a GBA version of Super Mario Bros WITHOUT all the extras The only advantage is that it allows for the full screensize (the GBC version is zoomed in to compensate for the lower resolution of the GBC)
don't forget all the brilliant monochrome gameboy games though. Tetris, Marioland 1 and 2 etc.
Tetris was re-released as Tetris DX for the GBC. The GBC version has battery save, and keeps your best score, as well as saves your game if you pause and turn it off.
- Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen -
The Game Boy Camera doesn't take pictures in color, but you can tint the picture by pressing various button combination when turning on the GBC just like any other monochrome Game Boy game.

"For some stupid reason, savefiles made on GB and GBC are incompatible with eachother on the GBC version."
I don't know of a way to copy SRAM states from one cartridge to the other, anyway (unless you are emulating!). Something in the source code of Wario 2 vs Wario 2 "DX" changed that doesn't make them work though. I only own the original, have never even seen what the Colour version looks like.
EDIT: For GB, get Mystic Quest. It's a classic amongst Mana games. (Actually, Sword of Mana on the GBA was a remake of it, but they totally changed the look and feel of the game and combat in that one.)

No... If you play Wario 2 DX on the GBC, and then play the same cartridge on Monochrome GB, you will be asked to start a new game (and delete the GBC save file).
Also, the game only lets you keep one savefile! Is the game really that much more complex than original Wario Land? (has three saves)

Really? that's wierd. Mystic Quest was that SNES "Beginners" RPG here. Yeah, I just checked it out on Wiki; it was called Mystic Quest for you guys and the SNES one was called Mytic Quest Legends. Strange squaresoft.
oh snap, I was just about to say check your local places first.
Very unlikely they'd sell them for 99p. Only way they'd do that is if they were unboxed.
I wouldnt ask for much, but i just think that by the time paypal has gone through, and postage has been done (possibly recorded delivery) there wouldnt be much left over
-Edit-
Looking at the post office website it should cost at most a few Ł for recorded, not as bad as I thought
Only reason I'd do recorded is because I don't trust the postal service these days
Check your gamestation tomorrow and let me know if they have it or not, that way I can either get something to stick them in, or I can get a van with blacked out windows so I can abduct you rape you.
I haven't been in Rochdale properly recently, only went to look for a job, but nowhere's advertising.
I think Metroid 2 is one of those games that has a custom palette built in to the GBC. I know the Super Game Boy had custom palettes for old B&W nintendo games. It's been so long that I can't remember if it was true for the GBC too.
I had all those GB Megaman games; kind of a shame they cancelled the collection pack for the GBA. They apparently lost the source to a bunch of the old games or something.
Craps, I'm an old man!

"Final Fantasy Adventure (the 1st one from like 1990) is pretty good. I hear it's supposed to really be a Secret of Mana game but who knows??"
Kind of, but it also has some Final Fantasy influences. I like to think of the game as part of both.
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest was the name of the US and Europe SNES game.
Mystic Quest (no FF in front of it) was the name of the Gameboy game in Europe, and it was something like "Final Fantasy Adventure" in the US.
The Final Fantasy Adventure game I'm thinking of had it so that your weapons acted as tools too. For example, your axes could chop down trees so you could go to other places.
Joe.'s right, I couldn't think of the fancy Japanese name at the time though
The original Tetris is awesome. I also have the color Tetris DX but it's annoying to sit through that awful unskippable cutscene after every time you lose. Is it a bottle? Is it a rocket? Is it fireworks? IS IT OVER YET??? Other than that, Tetris is probably one of the world's best games ever.
Shab- The palette you speak of I think is 4 colors and they did this because there was some hardware that could attach to the SNES that let you play Gameboy games in "color". Super Gameboy, I believe it was called. On a related note, I own a Gameboy Player that attaches to the bottom of my Gamecube and probably use that thing more than the Cube itself. Very awesome, IMO, playing Advance Wars, Bubble Bobble, or Aria of Sorrow on the big TV sometimes. The clarity suffers a bit from playing it on the little SP screen though.

Right, it arrived! Perfect condition and all that, but it's missing the battery cover! So it's back to the ol' cellotape for me.
Pokemon Yellow is hot. The intro is really naff and I'm carrying on the previous owners save, a girl called Millie with a Pikachu called Princess... oh dear. But it's ace and classic and that.
Metroid 2 is inspirational. Easier than the first game, music's a little more jollier. Wish I had this back when I was a kid!
If you want to go mad you should look up Shadowgate DX.
shiver
It's a port of the NES game, and a game where I think I became stumped on almost every single room for a long time. I hear it's great, if you're Einstein and can finish it.
I never got into Pokemon too much, it must be my extreme age, but I can see the appeal.

Pokemon's a bit of a love/hate thing with me. I hate the pacing but like the sheer customisation of it all. I'll probably never play through Yellow but I can't wait for Gold since I missed that one!
Links Awakening DX just arrived in the last few minutes!
Jerry Springer's on. I've never seen this before. It's very mad.
