Even if it was just a colorized version of it's gray-cart brother, I have to agree!

Unless someone wants to up the challenge and make it a "Top 50 Original Game Boy Color Games" list. Let's face it though, the tweaked "DX" titles were the best of the bunch ("Oracle" Zelda series aside).

* Legend of Zelda
* Donkey Kong Country
* Super Mario Bros.
* Tetris
* R-Type

Metroid II & Kirby's Dreamland 2 would almost certainly have rocked too had they not been cancelled.

Really? 50? Can we name 50 GBC games that are actually good? I'm sure we could do better than Jontendo's list, but I don't think we can make it to 50, without resorting to naming just okay games.

Agreed, but I'd be pleasantly surprised if you could expand significantly on my list. :P

And almost half listed are still "DX"-ed GB gray carts or other ports. :wink:
But still, that's a decent improvement over my list. :)

I never realized how limited the GBC selection was!
