Game Boy Color Exclusives?

Post by racketboy »

Is there a list somewhere of all the GBC games that can't be played on a standard Game Boy?

The existence of such a list seems like a no-brainer but I cannot find it anywhere.

Noise, you have your mission.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I am glad that such a distinction might be provided by the site. Racketboy.com is used as a resource by tens of thousands of people and it would be cool to set the record straight for the masses that the GBC really was an entirely different creature from the original GB.

From what I understand, the rule of thumb is that the clear carts are GBC only, and the black carts are GB/GBC. I only have my GBC now so I can't confirm this for you.

that is correct. But he wants a list of which were clear.

Anyway I think I do have a list (at least for US releases) and will check when i get home.

And thank you Flake, GBC IS NOT THE SAME THING as GB. Some GB carts are backwards compatible, but the hardware is different in the two.

There is only what, 500 titles. That shouldnt be too hard to go through if you got a group of people.

10-4, but I can name a couple off the top of my head:
Alice in Wonderland
Bionic Commando: Elite Forces
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
Super Mario Bros Deluxe
Wario Land 3
Dragon Warrior 3

Edit:
Come to think about it, a search for GBC boxarts might by the best suggestion.

Edit2:
Using wikipedia and about I glanced through A,B, and C:

Action man
Alice in wonderland
Animorphs
Antz Racing
Austin Powers
Batman Chaos Gotham
Best of Microsfot
Bionoic Commando
