    Basically, when you plugged Space Invaders into the Super Gameboy, you could play a version of Space Invaders full screen on your TV.

    it's exactly what he says.. the SNES version of Space Invaders is actually built into the GB cart.

    You could buy the full blown SNES cart, or you could access it in the GB cart via the super gameboy.

    Most people don't know Super Gameboy can utilize the SNES. It's said that special mode in Space Invaders even runs an NTSC/PAL check due to being SNES data.

    Accordingly to emulate Super Gameboy how real hardware behaves, you must run SNES and Gameboy simultaneously. Few authors bother with this. Instead usually loading just the border graphics tiles in a GB/GBC environment. Which loses access to all 16-bit specific features. But has the small benefit of letting borders load in GBC mode, against Nintendo specifications as there never was a Super Gameboy Color.

    Using the Super GameBoy is the only way I play my OG GameBoy games. Here are some fun, maybe somewhat obscure games to play. *NOTE - not all of these are SGB enhanced.

    Rolan's Curse II
    Operation C
    Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters
    Sword of Hope
    Bonk's Revenge
    Great Greed
    Final Fantasy Adventure
    Ninja Taro
    Gargoyle's Quest

    Mega Man V on SGB has a nice border, it's also quite fun to play. It too was built with the SGB in mind.

    Yeah it's among the Mega Man games where unfortunately English carries a premium. X3, Legends 2, V Gameboy...
