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.

    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.

    Dragon Warrior Monsters.

    I think I’m the only person who’s beaten the Monster Master fight enough times to know there’s a bug in it where he eventually gets strong enough that you get one shotted by him even if you’re cheating and using a Gameshark to keep your health in the 1024 hp range…

    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.

    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.

        $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 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.
