Credits and useful links ============================================================================== 1. INTRODUCTION ============================================================================== This list (for want of a better description) aims to provide basic data and gameplay descriptions for GameBoy, GameBoy Color and Virtual Boy cartridges. Its main purpose is to serve as a reference guide for cartridge collectors who seek to find out basic info on the endless reams of titles that fill the pages of second-hand catalogues. It may also be useful for those GameBoy owners generally curious to find out about all the weird and obscure games lurking out there in the wilderness. This file can be viewed using any text editor and has been optimised for DOS EDIT.COM (if anyone still uses that). It will print out okay from any printer but bear in mind that it is over 100 pages long and will be out of date as soon as the next revision comes along. TIP: Use the FIND... function of your editor to search for specific game titles. ============================================================================== 2. REVISIONS ============================================================================== 0.5 06/16/00 700 entries (472 GameBoy, 193 GameBoy Color, 35 Virtual Boy) 0.4 05/25/00 600 entries (409 GameBoy, 160 GameBoy Color, 31 Virtual Boy) 0.3 05/16/00 535 entries (374 GameBoy, 125 GameBoy Color, 11 Virtual Boy) 0.2 04/29/00 400 entries (294 GameBoy, 95 GameBoy Color, 11 Virtual Boy) 0.1 04/27/00 300 entries (228 GameBoy, 62 GameBoy Color, 10 Virtual Boy) ============================================================================== 3. WHAT'S NEW? ============================================================================== - More games added. Now up to the 700 mark. Added info on a number of Japanese games. However, my Japanese is virtually non-existent so I apologise for any mis-spellings in any of the titles. - Thanks to David Dayton, a handful of games now have serial/ID numbers listed. In case you don't know, these are the alphanumeric codes written down the side of a cart's label (eg DMG-SA-USA). - Updated the Frequently Asked Questions section (and also placed some of the questions in a different order!) - The vast majority of the featured games now have release dates. However, 248 of 'em are still undated, so help if you can. - Corrected a few minor errors, thanks to eagle-eyed readers. ============================================================================== 4. ENTRY STRUCTURE ============================================================================== GAME TITLE : Self explanatory FROM : The developers and/or publishers of the game SERIAL # : The ID number of the game (not present in most cases) RELEASED : When was the game released? GENRE : What type of game is it? PLAYERS : How many players can play along? SGB FEATURES : Does the game have any Super GameBoy features? GBC FEATURES : Does the game have any GameBoy Color features?

DESCRIPTION : A brief outline of the gameplay. OTHER NOTES : Any other comments of note. When reading the entries below, please bear in mind the following: 1. Although 99% of the info in this guide is accurate, there may be the odd silly mistake that has slipped through the net. If you find something that's blatently wrong, please tell me! 2. If two games exist with the same title, they will be allocated numbers (1), (2) etc. 3. Descriptions have been kept deliberately brief to keep the overall size of this document down. They are merely intended to provide a vague indication of the gameplay. 4. If you spot a description that looks vaguely like one that appeared in a GameBoy Monolith (http://www.vgf.net/gbmono/) review, don't scream plagiarism. I hold copyright on all the GameBoy Monolith reviews from which quotes are taken. 5. References to games in CAPITAL LETTERS indicates there's an entry for that game elsewhere in the guide. ============================================================================== 5. CONTRIBUTING ============================================================================== I seek info on the following (in order of priority): 1) Information on carts not already listed in the guide (obviously!) 2) Release dates for undated carts 3) Info on Super GameBoy compatible carts (I don't own an SGB) 4) Japanese titles for any of the listed carts 5) People to read the entries I already have and weedle out inaccuracies If you have info to submit, then go ahead! ** E-MAIL: gbgce@hotmail.com ** People who send me info will be listed in the contributors section at the end of the document. ============================================================================== 6.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ============================================================================== Q. Can I get a only version of this file? A. Not yet. Most people seem to prefer it in this "all-in-one" format, presumably so they can flick between the various systems without having to fiddle about with multiple files. Q. Will you add GameBoy Advanced carts to the list once the console is released? A. Yes. (~ Steve senses a whole lot more work ahead of him! ~) Q. I've bought a GameBoy Color. Will all the non-GBC games featured in the list work okay with my new purchase? A. In 99.9% of cases, yes. However, there are a small number of GB carts that experience problems running on the GBC (typically minor problems like sound glitching; usually nothing to prevent you playing the game). I'll try to determine which games have problems for a future version of this guide. Q. I've gotten hold of a "Super GameBoy 2". Will all the games listed as SGB compatible in the list work likewise on the SGB2? A. They should do. The SGB2 is basically an upgraded version of the original cartridge with the addition of a link cable port (amongst other minor things). Hence I see no reason why SGB1 compatible games shouldn't work just fine on the newer unit. Q. Should there be a space between the words "Game" and "Boy" or is it supposed to be just one word? A. The official spelling used on Nintendo packaging and literature is "Game Boy" (with a space). However, some people (myself included) do away with the space and form a single compound "GameBoy". Basically, it makes little difference either way! :) Q. I've seen a -in-one GameBoy cartridge at my local store. Why don't you include it in the list? A. These multiple game cartridges contain pirated versions of the games in question. They are sold behind Nintendo's back to people who like the idea of getting a whole bunch of games for the price of a single cart. Besides the moral issues, there are way too many of these carts, containing many different combinations of games. How big do you want this list to be? Q. Isn't Final Fantasy Mystic Quest a SNES cart? A. Yes it is. However, I've seen it listed numerous times in second hand catalogues in reference to Final Fantasy Adventure, hence its inclusion here as a point of reference for confused buyers! Note: This situation has now been clarified. See the relevant entries in the list. Q. Where can I find information on the Virtual Boy title "In a Mouse's House"? A. This is a game that many people seem to request. I believe the game in question is actually Insmouse No Yakata, with the title translated badly. If this mis-translation is a frequent occurance, I may add it to the main section of the guide (like FF Mystic Quest above). ============================================================================== 9.
