Just bought this and need some suggestions on which games to download.I need suggestions other than pokemon (I’ve played them to death)
>>12101478I'm assuming it's capable of Gameboy and Gameboy Colour games.There's a few obvious ones:> Metroid II> Link's Awakening (I think B/W is better than Colour but your mileage may vary)> Donkey Kong (94)And the rest:> Wario Land 2 (I prefer colour but your mileage may vary)> Final Fantasy Adventure> Metal Gear Solid> ShantaeThere's some cool ports id you're interested like> Super Mario Bros Deluxe> Donkey Kong CountryAnd some cool romhacks though I mostly play Pokemon rom hacks like> Pokemon Brown> Pokemon Prism> Pokemon Crystal Clear (inb4 hur-dur woke game, grow up it's fun.)
>>12101490>crystal clearBlack washing the Japanese was weird man
>>12101496It's a fun rom-hack. I can ignore things I don't like in games, you should try it sometime. Makes for a better experience.
>>12101478I will always take time out of my day to at least recommend Cave Noir if you're a fan of rogue likes. It's on the simple side, but it's very addicting to pick up and play for a few minutes to a couple hours.I went on a GB kick a year back and have explored a bit of the library, but my memory retention is ass so I'll get back with some recs that aren't the usual suspects.
>>12101478Final Fantasy Adventure.there are multiple patches to give it color now, so take your pick or just play the original.this one seems to be the best one because it only adds color, no unnecessary changes to the game at all. though, i wish there was a patch that changed the title screen to "Legend of the Mana Sword" or "Adventures of Mana".https://romhack.ing/database/content/entry/TT2F93LFTfa9EH0UYQEboA/final-fantasy-adventure-coloralso, apply these patches to revert some stupid changes to zelda dx.https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/612/https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/8305/https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/7268/optionalhttps://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2361/
>>12101513+1I came here to post this.
>>12101478Why did you buy something without knowing what you were going to do with it?
>>12101490I already know most of those but thanks for the suggestions. I’ll check out the rom hacks>>12101513I enjoy rouge likes and prefer easier games so this is right up my alley.>>12101531Sweet I’ll check these out.>>12101565I was hoping for some hidden gems or games I might’ve glanced over like Cave Noir
>>12101478>other than pokemonPlay the spinoff card games, if you haven't. They're surprisingly good.
>>12101478if you like puzzles there's.>catrap>kwirk>boxxle>deadalian opus>sutte hakkunand more i can't remember now.
>>12101772came here to post thissecond one is jap only but has an eng translation also best osts in all video games
>>12101478>Legend of the River King 1+2>Kirby's Dream Land 2>Wario Land 1+2+3>Game & Watch Gallery 1+2+3>Tetris DX
>>12101496>>12101507Every version of Crystal Clear before 2.0 does not have minorities in it while also still having the original battle tower. Version 2.0 and up adds minorites, replaces the battle tower with something else, but also adds pokemon following the player. Crystal Clear V1.3b was the first version I ever played. Choose carefully.
>>12101801Legend of the River King.Not heard of it but I'll give it a try. Thanks anon.
>>12101892For some other games you may not have heard of:Hammering HarryResident Evil GaidenGreat GreedRolan's Curse 2Mega Man I thru VSurvival KidsMega Man X1 and X2Pokemon TCG
>>12101575>I was hoping for some hidden gemsDaikatana is actually pretty solid.
>>12102017Thanks anon, I'd not heard of Rolan's Curse 2 before.
>>12102118What are some unknown or rare ones you have heard of before? I'd like some recommendations from you
>>12101531>i wish there was a patch that changed the title screen to "Legend of the Mana Sword" or "Adventures of Mana".i became the change i wanted to see and did it myself.https://files.catbox.moe/zgxpnw.7zbased on this that makes the color hack compatible with the restoration hack.https://romhack.ing/database/content/entry/ApyYkMRbRX-rv4HzXUR-0g/title-screen-fix-for-color-restoration
>>12101478I've been getting a few random GB(C) titles lately, nothing too great or horrible and not mentioned yet. The Legend of Prince Valiant/Kingdom Crusade is a neat concept, being a simple strategy game where you control your warriors in a topdown action fashion. No story mode or scenarios to work through, just generate a match and go. Kind of stuff the GB was made for. Sneaky Snakes (2d sequel to Snake Rattle 'n' Roll) is a decent, if slippery, platformer. It does spike up its difficulty in the end.Currently playing gen 1 Robopo(r)n, Sun specifically as that's what the vast majority would have played, but a complete English proto of Star was leaked. If you know Japanese you can play the Comic Bom Bom version which is iirc based on the manga and so some robopon breasts much more boobily, it is their equivalent to Yellow but is iirc based on the 3rd version which is also akin to Crystal.Not gonna write a review, but it does do some interesting things. If you're using a flashcart (I don't think any support it at least), you won't be able to open remote chests. iirc one emulator has rudimentary support and there's one inconsequential post-game quest that requires it (maybe cheating the item works just as well), but otherwise it's just random goodies. The color palette is something else though, some sprites are quite suspect too...
Obligatory reminder of two surprisingly good Harry Potter games on GBC. Arguably best pair of jRPGs on the system.
>>12097837
>>12102297I loved Robopon as a kid waiting for his next Pokemon fix, but it probably was really just complete garbage
>>12102367Sure, it's an opportunistic clone. Probably cheaply developed too, but considering the cartridge can't say it was actually cheap to produce. Aren't all early monster collectors shit as games though? Pokémon gen 1 included. Relies a lot on imagination and other sources to add to the adventure and give your party flavor. Guess that's one benefit to being a sperg, don't lose as much of that when you age.
>>12102408>Aren't all early monster collectors shit as games though? Pokémon gen 1 includedno
>>12102416Agree to disagree.
>>12102419There are a bunch of Robopon you could never get in the west because they never released the equivalent of Blue.Some of the type match-ups made absolutely no sense. Not only is fire not super effective against gas and/or oil, but it's.... not very effective against one of them? Whut? I never memorized the type match-ups because some of them were so counterintuitive.It's incredibly basic compared to even Pokemon, and it's GBA sequel was a downgrade in so many ways.
>>12102424That's not what I'm disagreeing on.
>>12101478Grand Theft AutoSuper Mario LandCastlevania: The AdventureEarthworm Jim Menace II SocietyWelcome to my Evil LairIf you don't like these games you probably won't like any gameboy game.
>>12102426Okay, but the point is that Pokemon is objectively better than Robopon (at least for English audiences).And I think most people would agree the OG Pokemon is an extremely well-made game, despite a few minor glitches and balance issues.
>>12102446I'm not disagreeing with it being better, but that's also not what I was asking. I'm not going to comment on the hyperbole because you just seem to want to have pokémon argument.
>>12102454Hyperbole would be calling Pokemon "shit" rather than flawed.>I'm not disagreeing with it being betterNo, you just said that Pokemon was shit, and that other early monster battlers were comparably bad. Totally different, right?

>>12102473*meant to type Crayon shin-chan 4, 3 is kinda a whatever mini game collection
>>12102465If you'd genuinely care about the word "shit", you'd take umbrage with me calling the entire (early) genre shit which is a harsh thng to say. GB Pokémon for me is the shiniest of the shitheap so to speak. I just find the genre weak when it comes to gameplay which is why I say "as games" and that I find or create enjoyment in these games from other elements. Saying anything else would be lying or implementing a double standard.
>>12102481I don't know enough about other early GB monster games. But it sounds like you just have a personal preference and don't enjoy that genre. I can understand that's personally, I think most jrpgs are repetitive, boring, simplistic gameplay with dogshit writing, and I'll never understand the love much of them get. But I know many people feel very differently
>>12102496People are allowed to have opinions. If you don't like certain things, you shouldn't have to wave them away if they occur in popular things.
>>12102193NTA but check out Shadowgate Classic
Do romhacks run fine in normal hardware? I'd like to ask for some rom hacks recommendations myself, I pretty much don't care about pokemon
>>12102635>Do romhacks run fine in normal hardware?Overwhelmingly most hacks/translations should run just fine. Theres not ZSNES or Project64 situation where lot of hacks were made for not really accurate emus in mind, so there problem playing them back on OG hardware
>>12102635Some do, some don't, the more recent the hack the more likely it is to run on newer hardware but there are exceptions. Usually with newer hacks that don't work the hacker is aware because if some trick they used.
Avenging spirit.
>>12102508>Share opinion in online discussion forum>Utterly shocked when people want to discuss itwhy
>>12102816They literally discussed it.
Bump
Damn it I need this thread alive until I can get to a PC and download these roms.
>>12105717Bump with a suggestion: Quest: Brian's Journey. It's a GBC demake of the N64 game and from what I can tell it's more polished/finished overall. Give it an hour and see if you like how it plays.
>>12101507>I can ignore things I don't like in games, you should try it sometimeI've tried it for the past ~15 years. I've decided it's not for me. It's easier and more fun to simply ignore games that are full of things I don't like or disagree with, even if it also has a few cool features.There are literally hundreds of 8+/10 games I haven't even touched yet, so I don't really see the point of investing time in games I know I'll have problems with.Especially when it's just a mod of a game I've already played and not truly unique.
Kirby's Dream Land 2 and picrel.
>>12105717haven't played myself yet, but people say good things about daikatana gbc.
>>12106260Ok I wouldn’t have considered this game h be ur I’ll check it out
>>12106107Mole Mania just got a color hack recently too.Same guy that did Mega Man World 3/4/5.https://youtu.be/a1xedp1J_oE
>>12101478Games that probably won't get listed:Great Greed (a JRPG about saving the environment)Namco Gallery games (basically Namco games remastered for the Super Game Boy)Pac Man Special Color Edition - Can play this on a regular Game Boy and it has different modes ON SGB that it doesn't have on DMG OR Color, same with Ms Pac Man Special Color EditionTMNT - Fall of the Foot Clan - 90s in a cart. Fun beat em up where you pick your favorite Turtle and get on with the show.Color:Mega Man XTreme - Basically an MMX game on the Color. You can play it on the DMG, but it's not that great.Wendy - Every Witch Way - Platformer by WayForward.N Sync - Get To The Show - This is only for the kusoge appreciator, avoid if you cannot savor it.AVOIDLink's Awakening DX, ESP if you're playing on a DMG (why is it slower on a DMG than the original?) I also am not a fan of the color palettes. I don't give a crap about people bitching about the bonus dungeon, because... you don't have to play it.Grand Theft Auto - Novelty of it aside this sucks balls even on the Color. YES you can play it on a SGB YES I have done so YES it's even worseStar Ocean - There's a beta translation of this floating around out there, it's not a very good game period.Medabots - IIRC these games had special sensors within the carts that won't boot on an ED.Every single Simpsons game, do I really need to tell you why?
If you're interested in playing Oracle of Ages and Seasons, I suggest using the Variable Width Font (VWF) hack.There's no changes to the content, only how the text is displayed.Ages: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2934/Seasons: https://www.reddit.com/r/RomHacks/comments/rxt3rg/a_variable_width_font_hack_for_the_legend_of/Also compatible with the GBC colors fix for GBA mode, if you're playing on GBA hardware or emulators and want to access to the GBA exclusive content, without the nasty GBA color palette.Ages: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3589/Seasons: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3588/
>>12106742that font looks like crap and it's hard to read on a small display.most font "improvement" hacks are like that.
>>12106797Looks fine on my Modretro Chromatic, and my Analogue Pocket.
Gargoyle Quest
>>12101490>no mention of Oracle of Ages/SeasonsDoes vr have low test or what?
new metroid II patch fresh out of the oven.https://romhackplaza.org/romhacks/ejrtq-1-3-cosmetic-fixes-game-boy/no more yellow pixel in the visor with EJRTQ patch.
>>12101478>Just bought this and need some suggestions on which games to downloadwhy would you buy something if you didnt know what youd use it for? Is this how people actually go through life?
