Title: Gameboy/Color List
Post by: Mick Dundee on March 19, 2009, 10:56:37 PM

Does anyone know where there is a decent list of Gameboy / Color RPG games?
 I am in the process of writing down games I want / Need for the systems I own, and cant find more than Pokemon and a Lufia game and  for RPGs on GB/C

 ( DONT like Block Movement/Strategic Rpg games. I prefer Action/RPG & Turn Based RPG)

GameFAQs can sort by genre, and they keep RPG and Strategy separately  ;)

Yeah, I've also noticed that wikipedia actually contains pretty accurate lists of what's on particular consoles. Just googling "List of [insert console name] games" will yield pretty good results (although probably not satisfactory for those who collect and already own 95+%).

For example, googling "List of Nintendo GameCube Games" results in the top search being http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_GameCube_games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_GameCube_games). You can't sort by genre, but is pretty reasonable for those starting out collecting for a particular console.

Furthermore, the search functions on http://www.gamerankings.com/ (http://www.gamerankings.com/) allow you to specify consoles and genres and sort by an adjusted average of review scores. So if you want to find RPGs on the GameBoy (Color) with universally good reviews you would adjust the search parameters accordingly.

For example, GameBoy RPGs like you wanted gives you
http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html?site=gameboy&cat=48&year=0&numrev=0&sort=0&letter=&search= (http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html?site=gameboy&cat=48&year=0&numrev=0&sort=0&letter=&search=)

and GameBoy Color RPGs
http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html?site=gbc&cat=48&year=0&numrev=0&sort=0&letter=&search= (http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html?site=gbc&cat=48&year=0&numrev=0&sort=0&letter=&search=)

Might as well do GBA RPGs
http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html?site=gba&cat=48&year=0&numrev=0&sort=0&letter=&search= (http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html?site=gba&cat=48&year=0&numrev=0&sort=0&letter=&search=)
