I’ve just rediscovered my childhood Gameboys, I grew up in the 90s and had an original, a color, an advance and an sp. My game collection has whittled down over the year to the usual suspects, Pokemons, Zelda’s, Mario’s and some other standards. But I want to dive into some games that 7 year old me would have brushed over. So what’s your favorite game?

    Dragon Warrior Monsters for the Gameboy Color was fantastic. It was somewhat similar to pokemon, but had some features that pokemon didn’t get for several iterations, like having your monsters follow you around, monster breeding, and multi-monster fighting.

    Magi Nation was also good, similar vein to both of them, but felt darker in tone. Although maybe that’s just how it seemed to a much younger me.

      I’m so happy you mentioned Magi Nation. I just replayed that game not too long ago and still had a blast with it, though I def had nostalgia goggles on. lol

      I had completely forgotten about this game until you just mentioned it. But wow I played this so much it was fantastic.

      I remember getting another dragon warrior game and being confused why it wasn’t at all like Pokémon (was more of a jrpg party building game)
