[satoshi_matrix]

Hey guys just wanted to let you all know I've finished the first part of my new Top 100 countdown!

This list is dedicated to the top 100 GameBoy and GameBoy Color games released between 1989 to 2002. It contains both original black-and-white and color titles. Placement was deemed after several hundred candidates that been evaluated in a number of ways including how well each holds up today in terms of playability and enjoyment.

Here's the first ten games, #100 - 91! I hope you guys enjoy this, and many thanks to everyone who suggested candidates. A handful of the games that made the final list are ones I wouldn't have otherwise even considered. Cheers to you, and cheers to the almighty GameBoy!

So here ya go guys! Enjoy! Special thanks to forum member wiggy for designing the awesome banner!

Coolness!

[Pikmin Overlord]

Awesome! I have been looking forward to this, satoshi. I do not, however, look forward to the agonizing wait between installments!

[satoshi_matrix]

Yeah, I'll try and reduce the intervals. I should be able to pump these out once a week, depending on how much research is involved. I want to make these quality, rather than quickly rushing them out.

[Pikmin Overlord]

Totally understandable, man. It wasn't intended to be a jab at lengthy wait times as it was meant to convey how unbearable it is to wait for the next 10 games to be revealed!

[Quazimoto]

Awesome!  As someone who thoroughly enjoyed your NES ltop 100 list, I'm stoked to see you doing a GameBoy one.  This list comes this in time too as I've been serious contemplating getting into older GameBoy collecting (Advance and earlier).  I supbscribed to your site and shall eagerly anticipate each new instalment (already added four of the first ten games to my wishlist).

Hey, me too!

Qwirk
Space Invaders
Trax
Wendy: Every Witch Way

...um, spoilers?

What were yours?

[Quazimoto]

Mine were...

Qwirk
Trax
Wendy: Every Which Way
Battle City
Elevator Action EX

Guess there were five, not four.  LOL.  Though, from the looks of it, Elevator Action EX and Battle City could be difficult to track down.

I'm happy to announce part 2 of my top 100 GameBoy games of all time!

Here's the next ten games, #90 - 81! I hope you guys enjoy this one and sorry about the delay. I had a heck of a time getting some of these screenshots. In case you guys didn't notice, I take all of these screenshots myself and don't simply pull them from other sources.

Anyway, here's the link. Enjoy!

Thanks. Part of the reason I post these threads is not only to get people know about these updates, but I'd also love to have people discuss their thoughts on these games.
