The more rare, obscure, or just a guilty pleasure, the better. Maybe you grew up with it, maybe it's just the nostalgia talking, any reason is fine.

I'm looking for a new game to play, but I'm running out of games to collect!

My favorite is games for original DMG, but you're welcome to include Color it'll advance games too!

Metal Gear Solid for GBC is never mentioned in all time lists for the series, but it’s my favorite, straight up.

I can’t believe they managed to cram a true MGS experience onto a GAMEBOY Color cartridge.

Pocket Bomberman is also legitimately great.

That's the first game I bought for my GBC. I didn't have enough money for a playstation and was jealous of all my friends playing MGS. It's super well done. I just got an analog pocket and I think I'll dig MGS out again after I finish my Castlevania games.

Emphasizing your statement about a true MGS experience. This is literally a full Metal Gear game styled like Metal Gear 2 (MSX) and they do not pull punches with the story, it is up there with the other games in the series. Music and pacing are impressive for the console.

I mean, the PSX game was more-or-less a reboot of the MSX2 titles.
