Game boy exclusive titles

[ilovegadgets]

Can some body please make a list of top exclusive game boy games that aren't ports?

Define port? Many GB games hold similarities to NES and classic arcade games. However usually they have many differences both graphically and as a whole.

i.e. Mega Man 1 for NES and Mega Man: Dr. Wiley's revenge for GB

I tried bionic commando on the game boy and it turned out to be the same as the NES version, only it's black and white. I was wondering whether manufactures made games that aren't exact or similar to other systems and are exclusive to game boy.

What you say about Bionic Commando isn't totally correct though.

The GB game has a totally different storyline, level structure, music, graphic design, and so on from the NES/C64/PC iteration. It actually moves and plays slightly faster than the NES game too. The odd thing is that the earliest screenshots of the game before it came out in Japan made it look like an almost direct port of the NES game. I was shocked about this too when the "port" finally got released, as while the first level has a few structural similarities and area four is still a cave, the rest of the game is a totally different beast. It's well worth possessing.



Interestingly the GBC Bionic Commando game is more of a sequel/remake to this US GB version than anything else (even reusing a few of the awesome songs).

Either way, I'd say the GB version is different enough to consider a unique game.


Other GB exclusives I'd get:
Altered Space
Castlevania II: Belmon't Revenge
Fortified Zone
Gargoyle's Quest
Metroid II: Return of Samus
Operation C
Rolan's Curse II
Trax
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3*



*Wario Land II is incredible, but it was also re-released on the Gameboy Color.

I'm a firm believer in Kirby's Pinball Land myself.
