Can everyone post some of their favourite obscure Game Boy/Game Boy Colour games? I'm mainly interested in platformers, beat 'em ups, turn based and action RPG's.

I'm sure other anons will scream at me saying some of these aren't obscure, but whatever, here's some I like that I feel are lesser known.
Balloon Kid
Boxxle
Cattrap
Dragon Dance
Mole Mania
Motocross Maniacs
Mercenary Force
Nemesis
Prophecy: The Viking Child (Bitchin' soundtrack on this one too)
Tiny Toon Adventures: Babs' Big Break

An obscure game that I liked was "for the frog the bell tolls." A first party Nintendo games made quite early in the gameboy's lifevbut interesting. The gameplay is quite weird and not for everyone but I found it super charming. You will need an english translation patch fpr this game.
Another game I recommend is trip world by sunsoft. I would compare it to mr.gimmick but it's quite different. Very technically impressive game.

I should have mentioned I detest puzzle/puzzle platformers. However, a couple from your list really stood out and I'll be looking to pick them up soon.
Thanks.

The game itself look good, but the battle system looks like a complete snore-fest. I've heard that the game uses the same engine as Link's Awakening so why didn't they just keep the fighting similar as well?

Because it came out before Link's Awakening. LA used it as a base, not the other way around. Prince Richard from it even has a cameo in LA. Anyway, the combat is not really the focus. It's a neat little adventure-ish game. It also has the best overworld theme of any game I've played.

That's what I was thinking. I might give it a shot then. Thanks.

The combat is definitely a bit boring but the game has a lot of charm and heart. Having said that I don't see myself plaing it again for a LONG time, still enjoyed the 8 hours I gave it though.

If I decided to faq the whole game how long do you think it would take me to finish?
>>3220658
I would say maybe 5-6 hours, however I remember it being very linear so it probably isn't necessary. It has some nice little twists, nothing deep and shocking but still, so try not to spoil it for yourself.
>>3220664
Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I'll give it a try after I clear up some of my backlog.
>>3220665
Yeah honestly it's not for everyone but it's charm won me over, hope you enjoy anon.
