GBC Clear Cart List, SGB Enhanced Game List?

Post by Jagosaurus »

Looking to pick up a Super Gameboy for my SNES.

Can any1 point me in the direction of a list of the GBC carts that are clear and will only work in the GBC (won't work in original GB or SGB)?

Any other compatibility issues I should know about?

Also, any1 point me in the direction of a list of the games that are enhanced with SGB for color, borders, sound, or 2 player controls (all I could find was wiki article)?

THANKS! :mrgreen:

___________

To confirm:

I could play these on a Super Game Boy (in monochrome):
- Dragon Warrior 1&2 GBC Cart
- Dragon Warrior Monsters 1 GBC Cart
- - Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 GBC Cart

While I could NOT play these type carts on a Super Game Boy period:
- Dragon Warrior III GBC Cart

... correct?

I too would be interesting in a list of GB(C) games that are enhanced for the Super GameBoy. The only one I know of is Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow.

That is correct. The colid, colored carts can be played on an original Gameboy and, therefore, a Super Gameboy. The clear carts can only be played on a Gameboy Color and are therefor incompatible with the Super Gameboy.

Challenge accepted.

By far, the coolest SGB game has to be Space Invaders, which includes a full SNES version of the game inside the cartridge.

Well I found the wiki article when looking up enhanced games :P. Wario Blast is one of my favorite titles. Would be cool playing on screen with controllers!

Was hoping someone knew of these lists, perhaps on another forum.

Obviously, to see which games aren't compatible w/SGB I can look up a pic of each cart I'm interested in. Just figured there was a readily available list of GBC exclusive carts (clear) out there.

I doubt there's a list that easy with or without pictures.

Finding a list of GBC only mode games shouldn't be too hard if the wikipedia doesn't have it already somewhere there should be. Those clear-ish carts with stuff like Dragon's Lair, Warlocked, Metal Gear and so on used the double spec stuff within the GBC keeping that out of the hands of the other older tech. The black carts just are GB games with a color palette assigned to them so it can work on old stuff.
