If you enjoy the arcade game, you wont be disappointed with Donkey Kong 94.

Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.

I'm actually shocked nobody had mentioned this yet. As for the Mega Man games, yeah, they're mostly ports from the NES, but with a perk I liked. Instead of offering straight enemies, they split it up, so 4 bosses would be from one Mega Man game, while the second batch of 4 would be from a different game. So in Mega Man III, you could fight the likes of Skull Man or Dust Man with weapons from Shadow Man or Gemini Man. Hey, I thought it was cool.

You really won't. That game IMO was really good. The first four levels are from the arcade but the rest of the 99 levels are totally different.

I've actually been playing more GB mono games than anything lately via Goomba on my GBA flash cart. I get kind of odd looks at work when someone sees me playing at lunch, but it's not a DS or PSP game. Have people truly forgotten the greatness that the original GB was?

Anyway, some titles I've enjoyed recently...

Alleyway
Revenge of the Gator
Castlevania 2: Belmont's Revenge
Rodland
Metroid 2
Tetris Blast
Mario Land 3
Megaman IV
Kid Dracula
Gargoyle's Quest
Boulder Dash

There is still tons more to explore. The GB has an amazingly robust catalog.
