"state something completely random time!"

@MrMattews: Probably. Most of the stuff I like I can hardly find, but when I do they're outrageous. Return of the Ninja, Daikatana (no joke), Ghosts N' Goblins, Metal Gear, etc. all start in (at lest) the $25 range on ebay just for loose carts.

On a side note I was just thinking, one of the most interesting things about the GB is that a lot of it's games wouldn't even be allowed on full console systems. Take Catrap for instance. Sure the NES and SNES could have done it easy, but there's no way the developers or publishers would invest in putting it on those systems. They would have to add more 'stuff' to it to make it better. But the truth is it probably wouldn't be better. A lot of people, I think, look at gameboy games as lesser or watered down versions of their console cousins. To me, though, most of them come off as being more refined, focusing on the core game-play with fine precision. Operation C is a good example.

It's been a while since I've been here. I had to sell a bunch of my retro games a while back, and I was just sort of out of the loop for while, but now I'm slowly getting back into everything.
It's been a rough couple of years.

Because people are retarded. The GBC has, game for game, probably the worst library out of any popularly-supported system I can think of (outside of the scant handful of games that you're probably referring to).

I Agree w/ MrMatthews

Thanks, Jesse!

In an attempt to prove my own point to myself, I looked up a few "complete" listings of GameBoy Color games on sites like Wikipedia, GameFaqs, and RFGeneration. Between the three lists I viewed, there were about 450 GBC games released in the States. Scanning through the game titles reads like a laundry list of every popular toy and kids show between the years of 1998 and 2002, as well as a generous helping of heavily-abbreviated "ports" of Playstation and N64 games. You saw this same kind of thing on other systems, but certainly not to this extent. Without doing any heavy calculation, I'd venture to guess than less than 20% of the entire GBC library was actual original content.

The Off Topic section has really slowed down in the past few days. A friend came over to my house on Thursday, and we played some games. He only left yesterday, so I wasn't on here very much those past few days. But now I'm back in full swing, and hopefully people will start posting a little more soon.

The hardest game on the NES/GB? I think so. Could never complete the Death Star run; always, always got killed.

I attempted the GameBoy version not too long ago. Didn't get very far.

I don't like games like that.

Wait, he came over Thursday and left yesterday ? Sleepover at Eddie's ? Did you guys play more than just videogames ? Hmmmm sounds fishy to me.

Lol, he slept out in the guest room. The only other thing we did besides play video games was play cards.
