    Alleyway (1989):
    Potentially a lot since it was a launch title (or close to it). Or not. :P
    $20 or $100

    Bubble Bobble Part 2 (1993)
    A sealed NES version went for $5000 and a complete GB copy went for $90. I'd say somewhere in between.
    $200-$300

    Missile Command (Accolade 1991 original release)
    No clue. Probably low.
    $20-$30

    Pac-Man (Namco 1990)
    The lowest of the bunch. Game seems very common.
    $10-$20

    Total Carnage (Malibu 1993)
    Very rare game as far as GB goes. This could get wacky if you eBay it.
    $300+

    I "scored" them at original retail many years ago. Collection is going bye bye.

    I think BB2 depends on the publisher? Unfortunately I'm new to GB collecting and I'm not sure if the Nastsume or Taito version is rarer. But I've heard that the price difference is substantial between variants since one is much more difficult to find.

    There are two versions of Bubble Bobble 2?
    All I thought is that the Game Boy game is a lot less valuable than the NES.

    Taito is the rarer version. The Natsume version goes for $100-$150 sealed mint (Bucky sold a graded one back in April of this year for $200) while the Taito can hit $150-$200 sealed mint on a good day. Unfortunately, neither one is anywhere close in value or rarity to the NES version.

    Taito BB2 can get up to $200 if the VGA guys think it will grade well. Total Carnage is the jewel there. I realllly want one myself but couldn't afford a sealed one. As portnoyd said, probably looking at $300++ on that.
