Good list of games, but for me Tetris has to be number one!

Pokemon may have kept the Gameboy going strong, but it was Tetris that single handedly won the handheld war for them. $99 price point didn't hurt it either.

I do love Donkey Kong, I think it's the best game on the system personally, and I play it regularly on the Super gameboy. I was expecting to see Motocross Maniacs on that top 25 list, but alas it's not there. That was a pretty popular title around my high school at the time.

I'd agree that Tetris has to be up there, if not on the top spot.  That is the game that really sold the system.  Donkey Kong is also a fantastic game on the system.  I reviewed it and loved it.

It was on the Retro Gamer one

So, Wario Blast is a Bomberman clone.  Looks cool.

I might do a side by side comparison vid of the Lynx and GB versions of Desert Strike.

That would be cool!

Tetris was great on it - it actually still is if you can get the right lighting conditions so you can see the screen....it's amazing how tolerant people were of that limitation.

Donkey Kong '94 is a brilliant game - worth getting it for GBA or some other means to play it. It has nice borders when played via a Super Gameboy that shows cabinet art. It's a pretty big game and it extends he basic DK gameplay really well with key collecting being a big part of the gameplay that is a nice blend of puzzle/maze and action.

My wife was obsessed with some puzzle games for it. Splitz is a sliding square/picture game which I found really hard but she completed and she also completed Mario's Picross for it.

There aren't many games I consider a "must", but to the earlier poster who hasn't played Tetris - you really need to try it - if not on Gameboy then on some other platform. People will be playing Tetris 100 years from now.

Must games are things like Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros 2 and any of the WarioLand series.  There's so many to choose from its just untrue including some incredibly deep titles (Final Fantasy comes to mind).
