What is the best Gameboy game of all time?

[Vanillalite]

Alright Era what do you think is the best Gameboy game of all time? I mean OG Gameboy. None of this Gameboy Color or GBA stuff.

So what say you?

 

[Aaron]

I was going to say Pokemon Crystal, but you ruled that out with GBC so I'll say Gold or Silver.

You can still play them on the original Gameboy, it counts!

 

[QuigleyMcShine]

Link's Awakening.

 

[The Booktastic Bus]

Pokemon Yellow, Super Mario Land 2, GB Donkey Kong are some of my favourite original GB games

 

[mrmickfran]

Link's Awakening or Donkey Kong 94

 

[Var]

Wario Land

 

[giapel]

Tetris.
I mean it was the absolute system seller and the best version of Tetris basically ever.

 

[Raza]

Link's Awakening. Wario Land is close as well.

 

[Falconbox]

Link's Awakening

Tetris

 

[James3D]

Pokémon Yellow Version

 

[SoH]

Should we just disqualify Tetris from the start or is this going to be a very short discussion?

 

[Fireblend]

Link's Awakening for me.

Or Pokemon Gold/Silver.

 

[chrisypoo]

Wario Land 2 and I'll brook no discussion on this. It's the forever Game Boy game.

 

[Deleted member 249]

Pokémon Gold/Silver, without a doubt.

 

[Deleted member 3017]

Link's Awakening or Donkey Kong 94

These two + Tetris and Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3.

 

[Deleted member 873]

Kirby's Dream Land 2, of course.

 

[Tohsaka]

Link's Awakening.

 

[Kr1spy]

Tetris or Link's Awakening.

 

[Deleted member 17207]

Either
Link's Awakening
Pokemon Blue/Red
Tetris
or
Donkey Kong '94

 

[Bitanator]

Dragon Warrior/Quest Monsters

 

[HulkMansfield]

Ken Griffey Jr Baseball

 

[Ge0force]

Link's Awakening for me. Followed by Metroid 2, Tetris and Castlevania 2.

 

[shnitzel]

 

[yoonshik]

 

[Rotobit]

The best ones are those that are relatively timeless, so Tetris and Kirby's Dream Land 1

I can seriously play Kirby's Dream Land any time, anywhere, and have a blast. It's under-appreciated to be honest.

DK '94 is also the best game with Donkey Kong in the title

Add Tetris and you have the holy trifecta of the original Gameboy.

 

[Pascal]

It's Tetris.

 

[Deleted member 17210]

Tetris was the one I played the most for single and multiplayer, just an excellent version. For stuff originating on GB, it's a tough call between Donkey Kong '94 and Link's Awakening. Bionic Commando's also up there.

 

[corn_fest]

Donkey Kong for sure.

[harz-marz]

Super Mario Land 2 - no question.

 

[Smurf]

 

[Deleted member 7051]

 

[Phokal]

Link's Awakening.

Shout outs to Tetris, Kirby's Dreamland, and Metal Gear Solid GBC, too, though.

 

[oni-link]

Link's Awakening is way better than any of the first 4 Pokémon games

Link's Awakening is still worth playing in 2019, whereas I can't say the same for Red/Blue/Gold/Silver

I think a more interesting question would be what are the most overlooked/underrated GB games

[Derachi]

Tetris is the only right answer.

 

[The Rain King]

It's Tetris.

 

[Maximus]

Pokémon Gold or Links Awakening.

 

[Deadpool_X]

Link's Awakening

 

[Wamb0wneD]

Link's Awakening and it's not really a contest, imo.
Oh wait, Pokemon Silver ran on those as well? I thought they were only on GB Color. Well then...

Is Pokemon red and blue the same game? Because I had the blue version.

 

[Strangelove_77]

Link's Awakening.

 

[Deleted member 1476]

Tetris, no question.

 

[Deleted member 11626]

Pokémon Gold/Silver or Link's Awakening for me

 

[TheStebe]

Tetris for me! Its simply a timeless classic

 

[SantaC]

Revenge of the gator

 

[Alex840]

Sounds like we need a poll for:

Pokemon Gold/Silver
Zelda: Links Awakening
Tetris

 

[Exist 2 Inspire]

Link's Awakening, no question about it. It's actually the best Zelda game as well.
