List of Game Boy Games by size

[Gamegearguy | 226]

Is there anywhere a list of Game Boy games sorted by how big their ROMs are?

I gotta say, I'm curious what you'd  do with that information, haha.

There might be a site that lists them, but if you were to hypothetically download a complete rom set, you could sort the files by size. And if you're comfortable in a terminal / command line, you could also sort them by size and get a nice list/table that you could copy and paste.

I was just wondering how many commercially released Game Boy games were the size of the one I'm making, because it isn't very big.

You can get a csv of games that includes their size here (although downloads seem to be temporarily disabled at the moment). Open it in your favorite spreadsheet program and sort by size. To save you some trouble in case downloads aren't back up soon, the smallest games released were 32 kilobytes and here's the list:
