good call. Although the argument could also be made that DWI&II is a better value. But yeah. All 3 are awesome on GBC. Though this guy doesn't like RPG's, so...

Other great GBC ports I'd recommend are Ghosts N Goblins and 1942. And then spinoff wise you've got Blaster Master Enemy Below and Bionnic Commando Elite Forces. There's also Resident Evil Gaiden and Metal Gear Solid.

EDIT: oops! Disregard the doesn't like RPG's comment, I thought we were still in evildeadmanwalking's thread! :lol:

Warlocked was one of the first Game Boy Color games I ever played and was basically a handheld version of the Warcraft games. I found it really addictive, but you will most likely only like it if you enjoy that gameplay style.

There was a really cool looking GBA sequel in the works but it never got released.

Bionic Commando is an awesome sequel. Its pretty, fluid, and gives you many options. No where near as hard as the original though.

BTW fast, I did eventually get the GBC Alice In Wonderland a few months ago. You were right -- great game. Beautiful sprites, vivid colors and fantastic gameplay.

Its a hidden gem for sure. Its not as good as Shantae, but I enjoyed it more.

Unlike Wizard of Oz for the DS - thats a terrible game

I'm sure Shantae is great, but I won't pay what it's going for.

It was back when the GBA had just came out. The store I was working at had Shantae and all four Final Fantasy's and I didnt buy them (along with a dozen copies of Ogre Battle 64). Ohwell not worth fussing over.
