The Nintendo Game Boy is one of my favorite systems of all time. While it's bulky by today's standards and has a hard to see screen, It had a great library of games and set the standard for handheld game systems. Some of them are still fun and addicting to this day. So I would like to share with you my Top 10 Favorite Game Boy Games of all time. Just to note, this list only contains Original Game Boy Games. No Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance Games but I will make lists for those as well.

Here We Go!

#10: Trip World

Trip World was only released in Japan and Europe but this is a pretty good platformer game. You play as a bunny like creature and try to retrieve the flower of peace to the world. You can even shapeshift into different forms like Kirby. I haven't played much of this game so far but a fun platformer.

#9: Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

This is probably my favorite portable Zelda game. It doesn't have Zelda but at least you play as Link. This feels like a scaled down Link to the Past with a different story. The story isn't that great but it has great gameplay and even goombas are in this game.

#8: Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters

Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters is a good adaptation of the NES game. I enjoy the greek theme just like the first game. I actually found this one to be easier than the NES version.

#7: Tetris

Tetris was the game packed with the Game Boy and is an addicting puzzle game where you make complete lines with differently shaped blocks. I don't have much to say about it. Everyone loves Tetris.

#6: Dr. Mario

Yes Dr. Mario topped Tetris for me but this is addicting too. Dr. Mario has to get rid of the viruses so you use pills and make rows of a certain color to try to get rid of the viruses. I also liked the music better than Tetris.

#5: Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong on the Gameboy is basically the original Arcade game with so much more. More levels in this game and has a variety of puzzles. This also combines elements from Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr and has some new tricks like triple jump and backflip. This is my favorite variation of the original Donkey Kong.

#4: Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins

The first Super Mario Land isn't that great but the second one is. The graphics and physics are much improved and has similar elements as Super Mario World with an open world you can go to. And the worlds are pretty quirky. This is also the first game Wario is in.

#3: Kirby's Dream Land 2

While the first Kirby's Dream Land was good even though it was very simple. The second one improves it with more levels, saving, and Kirby's copy ability which is probably my favorite part about Kirby. You can also merge with animals in this game and they have different abilities like in Donkey Kong Country.

#2: Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3

In Wario Land, you play as Wario and in this game you have different abilities than in Mario Land like you can ram into enemies, ground pound or throwing things. And this game also had a larger variety in levels than Mario Land 2. And I think the levels are more fun in this game than Mario Land 2.

And my #1 Favorite Original Game Boy Game of all time is:

So that was my Top 10 Game Boy Games. I hope you enjoyed and I plan to make lists for GBC and GBA as well!
