    My GBA favourites:

    WarioWare (and Twisted)
    Rhythm Tengoku
    Astro Boy
    Dotstream (bit Generations)
    Dialhex (bit Generations)

    On the original Game Boy, you could just go with the big names like Tetris and Pokemon. There is a reason they are that popular.

    Gameboy:
    Final Fantasy Legend - My first foray into videogame RPG's.
    Nobunaga's Ambition - Doesn't get enough love in the U.S imo.

    Gameboy Color:
    Legend of Zelda Oracle of Ages/Seasons
    Warlocked - Want to see a Z80 CPU crawl on all fours like a dog? Try watching it push 75 realtime combat units around a playfield. GBC RTS FTW !

    Gameboy Advance:
    Advance Wars - Never played it before last year but it completely blew me away.
    Phantasy Star Collection

    Gameboy Classic:
    Bionic Commando GB - Prefer this to the NES version actually.
    Castlevania 2: Belmont Revenge - Much improved sequel, though the walking speed is still a bit too slow.
    Donkey Kong GB - Amazing gameplay and replay value.
    Final Fantasy Adventure - Wouldn't be surprised if these guys also worked on Links Awakening. Epic for a GB game.
    Mole Mania - Great little puzzler with a good challenge.
    Kirbys DL 2 - Cute platformer with good longevity.
    Legend of Zelda: Link Awakening - It's still my fav Zelda.
    Rolans Curse 2 - Pretty neat arpg game. Excellent soundtrack.
    Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land - Wario > Mario on this console.

    Gameboy Color
    Super Mario Deluxe
    Metal Gear Solid
    Survival Kids
    Shantae
    Wario Land 3

    Gameboy Advance
    Astroboy
    Kuru Kuru Kururin
    Metroid Fusion
    River City Ransom EX
    Ninja Five O
    Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

    Edit: And how could I forget Rythm Tengoku or WarioWare?

    Strike Force Hydra is to shooting games as xXx is to platforming games.

    i.e. it's about as fun, for me, as a swift kick to the eye.

    It has absolutely no gameplay mechanic, horrible enemy patterns, and is basic in many other ways.

    Not trying to bust Draggon's balls for liking it, but most people don't like this one.

    ALSO: I should add that I sort of like the Splinter Cell games. They're kinda quirky, ugly, and tend to have uninspired level designs (looong hallways too), but they try some new things that you don't see in a lot of other action games.

    Final Fantasy Adventure is actually known as Seiken Densetsu in Japan, making it the first game in the "Secret of Mana" series as it's known here.

    My favorite OG GameBoy game is probably Donkey Kong. 96 levels of platforming/puzzle goodness.

    My fav GBA game is probably Wario Ware MegaMicrogame$. Some of the best weirdness I've see in a game.

    And we might as well also mention that Sword of Mana for the GBA is supposedly a remake of Final Fantasy Adventure.

    It comes out to 101 levels, if I'm not mistaken.

    I started playing Mario vs Donkey Kong for GBA a while ago, and was rather astonished at how just a few unfortunate design changes really managed to kill the fun. It's not bad - just not nearly as good.

    My fav GBA game is probably Wario Ware MegaMicrogame$. Some of the best weirdness I've see in a game.
    The fun kind of dissipates after you spend too much time trying to clear everything.

    Excellent game, but for me, it doesn't top Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow.

    Check out the new N64 Rumble Pak. See how it feels to feel what you see.

    Metal gear ghost babel , amazing game for the gameboy color. Having great gameplay that resembles the old school metal gears and have a somewhat complex storyline in vain of later titles in the series.

    Zelda Links awakening - Need I say more on a classic game that hasn't already been said?

    Dragon Warrior 1 and 2 - A gameboy color remake thats better in graphics and accessibility for players , they are actually pretty enjoyable remakes. Dragon warrior 1 remake is especially fun considering the original nes version was just so slow paced.

    All you need is Double Dragon Advance that should tide you over for a couple of weeks.

    WOW people thanks for the many post! I made this thread considering how cheap GBA games are these days at places like walmart and KB toys. I was at my local KB toys the other day and I found Zelda Minish Cap sealed for 5.99, TMNT sealed for 5.99 and many others. This week probably ill look for some GBA games at Walmart or at Target considering that Gamestops GBA games are really expensive and most of the time are Fucked up!
    Ahh man this guy is back
