I liked final fantasy adventure since it was zelda-like
action instead of menu navigation battles. I tried playing
one of the gameboy zeldas recently, just couldn't get into
it even though I beat it long ago.. the one where you have
to trade an item like 20 times, there's just too much
cryptic "what do I do next", I hate figuring that stuff out
and its annoying to play while reading some walkthrough
guide unless it's a very clear map image. The sword of hope
is a cool/unique rpg too. And gargoyle's quest.

I like puzzle gameboy games the best:
tetris blast (fight mode)
tetris plus (puzzle mode)
catrap
mario's picross
dexterity

others:
balloon kid (mostly because of the music, game is ok too)
battletoads (original, not ragnaroks world, good music too)
boomer's adventure (just my personal nostalgia, its probably
pretty irritatingly time consuming nowadays)

games used to be pretty vague in how to progress back then i
must admit

nowadays games do far too much hand holding they basically
have arrows pointing all the way to your objective which is
defeats the purpose of doing it

there is a good isometric puzzle game called monster max i
like

Sword of hope 1+2

Actually i've downloaded a lot of Game Boy rpg's to play on
an emulator. I don't think there is any reason to play any
of them, except for some nostalgic feelings.

i bought sword of hope as a kid and it was all in (kinda
badly translated) swedish. pretty cool game tho as it was
kemco's way of trying to turn their macventure ports into
more of a traditional rpg than adventure game. never tried
the 2nd one. i fucking love that era of kemco music,
instantly recongizable sound palette.

if you count gbc the zelda oracle games are really good.
does survival kids count as an rpg? really cool game.

also w m w catrap is the shit, i used to play that on a
friend's dodgy 50 in 1 cart along with the weird penguin
tennis/dodgeball/whatever game. it had a REALLY cool level
editor.

other good game boy games are gargoyles quest, donkey kong
94, metroid ii, wario land, wario vs bomberman... i want to
play mega man v, have the 2nd gb one and it's garbage vs the
nes version.

oh and never ever play azure dreams. it sucks.

I completed Link to the past 1 or 2 years after it came out.
Those were the times, when you could play video games all
day as a kid.
I think this is what human life should be really about,
doing things that have no real purpose other than that you
enjoy them. Or maybe i am wrong..

I think it could be the case if criminal laws weren't
blocking us from our right to Lockean homesteading of any
unused or abandoned land/ living areas. You could pick a
spot in the forest, use solar power and probably have free
wireless internet access if that was allowed to sprout, and
grow your own food, which you could trade for other things
when you have excess. But no everyone has to be on a hamster
wheel inside the matrix, slaving away to centralized nodes
in a new government-corporation fusion. They have hijacked
everything digital. Stallman must be a genius if he
programmed Gnu and he said either the users control the
program or the program controls the users. All their
proprietary code and infrastructure is controlling the users
and 99% of these users are simply powerless. They have
automated an unstoppable black hole and the more the gravity
eats, the stronger it becomes. It is checkmate.

Dragon Warrior III
The graphics in Dragon Warrior III are vastly improved over
the NES version. In fact, this game is based off of the
Super Famicom (the Japanese version of our SNES) incarnation
of the game. Thus the game features colorful sprites, more
varied tiles, and animated battles. With all of this
graphical wonderment, it is no wonder the game takes up a 32
Meg cart.

What was really neat about the animations was that every
enemy had different animations, depending on what attack
they performed, and they all were smooth and accuratly
portrayed. In addition to the battle graphics, the towns all
looked unique. Every little area is well-detailed, and many
places look better than a lot of what has been seen on the
SNES.

It is also worth mentionning that the opening scene where
Ortega battle the Demon Lord is the most beautiful cinematic
scene that you will ever see on the GBC, and even topples
most of them on the SNES’ RPGs. After seeing graphics of
this caliber on the GBC, you have to wonder why Pokemon
Ruby/Sapphire on the GBA doesn’t even look this good.

I tried a bunch of gameboy advance games. "DK king of swing"
was the most interesting, from a hobby programmer idea
perspective. Almost all the alphabetized games above that
were total forced cutscene watching, slow text scrolling,
menu navigation traps.
Every time I start an rpg, and I see a village, I'm like oh
fuck. How many motherfuckers do I have to talk to, WHICH
motherfucker do I talk to NEXT, oh fuck every one of these
houses has a stupid bookshelf too? Is it necessary to read
all this shit, I mean it's there I won't fully experience
the game if I don't right? Talk to someone while quickly
pressing B or whatever so they shut up... they stop talking
but since you were furiously pressing B, that makes them
talk AGAIN and they say the same exact thing which you have
to scroll past AGAIN. It's almost never interesting
information, almost never useful except for the fact that
the game logic itself depends on talking to some asshat. Oh,
I had to talk to the king's daughter hidden in some random
house, now those stupid guards will move. And every single
RPG and disney movie is statist propaganda, you're always
dealing with kings and royalty, getting their permission to
do this and that, having them be main characters and good
guys.
