Can anyone give me a site that has a good list of the best games for the original GameBoy, not the color or Advance one?
Failing that, give me your suggestions or top 5 lists for Nintendo's Black and White marvel.
Ta :)

I've always been fond of Battleship and Tecmo Bowl.
Maybe Metroid II as well?

Some personal favorites still in my collection -- Game And Watch Gallery, Revenge of the Gator, Super Mario Land 1-3...

there are of course more, but those immediately come to mind. Also, as I recall, the early days of the GB had a lot of good puzzle games. Of course, when you pack in a game like Tetris, you're gonna get more puzzle games for the system :)

Surprised the Zelda game hadn't been mentioned yet. TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan (the very first one) was a good Konami effort.

I think tetris attack was a good port, and for the most part I pretty much agree with ze_ro

There's also a good Arcade Classics cart that has Defender and Joust on it. I own that one in particular and it's good stuff. I'd suspect there are some other good ones in the series, since Arcade Classics 4 is the Defender/Joust one.
