Finally completed my officially licensed North American Game Boy games collection. All in OEM cases. I cannot believe I found these cubbies that they exactly ended up fitting all 506 games in. All alphabetized (unless they were a series and then I rearranged them in order).

Whoa, thank you!! Will do now. I completed it just recently.

The last level of Bill & Ted’s was super forgiving. So many pickups that you can easily get two 1-ups per try. It’s also 10 levels. I only saw passwords for the first 9, so if anyone needs the tenth in the future (like when I forgot to write one down), it’s 555-1881. Edit: @Floating Platforms, for your spreadsheet, it took me 4hrs and 5mins to complete.

Finished Bill & Ted’s Excellent Game Boy Adventure: A Bogus Journey! It was really a fun arcade-type puzzler. Unsure what’s next. Need to finish Spud’s Adventure, so maybe that. I’m halfway through.

It's in the Upside Down™!!

How is True Lies? I have a weird penchant for 90's movies that they turned into video games. Especially movies where it was totally inappropriate (looking back, having kids now) for kids to have a tie-in pushed to them. LOL. I'll collect them all together one day and make some long-winded post about them somewhere. I'm halfway through on B&T so far. It gets harder for sure and you have to die several times now to understand what reactions collecting each piece may have on the level. That's a frustration I have so far with it.

Ouch. Sounds like a hassle. I'm currently playing Bill and Ted's Excellent Video Game or whatever the name is. It's actually pretty fun. I was NOT expecting it to end up being a puzzle type game. About halfway through now though. Many lives, continues, and passwords are its saving grace.

Looking forward to hearing about it. It seems like an odd one.

Working on Spud’s Adventure. I guess I’m just in a potato mood. So far, it’s a bit dumb and you can game the health system pretty easily by finding an enemy that respawns quickly and just spam killing until you have full hearts. The bosses are tough though due to terrible hit boxes.

Finally beat this bear of a puzzle game. It went from “cute” to “this is impossible” really fast. I wish there had been more levels where you switch between characters, like Catrap, but overall super challenging and addictive. I have photos in my camera roll for every level password. I think I’m ready for a platformer next. Lol.

I agree with this. Catrap really helped prepare me for this one, in a way.

WTB: Game Boy Games (Avenging Spirit, Trax, F1 Pole Position, and Jimmy Connors Tennis) View Advert Looking for 4 specific Game Boy games. USA versions, first pressings (no '-1' appended to the serial number on the label), with labels in great condition. Avenging Spirit F1 Pole Position Jimmy Connors Tennis Trax Advertiser withfoam Date 06/08/2022 Price Category WTB  

Oh lord. Nah, I think next on my list are: Darkman Toxic Crusaders Tail 'Gator Sumo Fighter Ninja Taro Not easy ones, the lot, but I'd like to get to the end of them.

Yep. Almost there, but you're not kidding, this game went from, "oh, this is neat" to "omfg...this is impossible" really quickly.

I’m halfway through the fourth floor of Amazing Tater and sheeeeeesh, the difficulty has ramped and ramped through this game. Having to put it down and come back each day to let my brain chew on it on a background thread.

Hello! I love the Game Boy, have been modding them and collecting the NA catalog for a while now. I'm 5 away from all 506 of the first print, officially licensed, nice label, not too yellowed, NA Game Boy games. Even have them all in OEM cases. Just need: Avenging Spirit (Just waiting it out. There were a slew on eBay near the start of the year and now it's been pretty dry for a non-yellowed, nice label copy.) F1 Pole Position (I won an auction at a decent price and the seller couldn't find it...blaaaaaaah.) Jimmy Connors Tennis Toxic Crusaders (Sad that this has been going for way over what it seems it should.) Trax (first printing) (So many of these keep popping up, but all -1 prints) I'll finally get there soon, but gosh...takes patience and constant checking. Nice to meet you all!

Ah! I thought I had read that. Glad I'm not going crazy. Let me know if I need to do something to get on the leaderboard. Think I'll start hunting up some games that haven't been done yet. :D

Deal!

Ahhh, thanks and sorry for the noise then. I thought I had read that folks were getting partial credit for ones already completed. No worries. On to something else now!

To be fair, I’m rebuilding a DMG right now. I’m not just a new kid.

Hi! I'm new. I signed up just because I saw this thread. I love what's happening here. I recently (after the new year) beat Catrap and Kirby's Dream Land. Hope these count. I LOVED Catrap. Maybe one of my favorite puzzlers of all-time now. The cadence of not so hard, HARD, not so hard, was really fun and kept things flowing. Kirby's was a fun quick one. I think it was the fourth world where I just floated around and completed the level, that was a bit odd. Looking forward to playing KDL2.
