	Dragon Warrior Monsters review (GBC) Reviewed on July 06, 2002 Ah yes... Even the succesful Dragon Warrior series decided to start copying the ingenuis idea of Pokemon. This is a game by feeding creatures certain meets after weakenning them, you try and convince them to join. You also need to breed these creatures to make even better creatures. It's just a cycle like this, more similiar to Revelations than Pokemon. I just love this monster owner genre that just popped up after Pokemon sales.
	Revelations: The Demon Slayer review (GBC) Reviewed on July 05, 2002 In a way this is a spinoff of Pokemon as you convince various monsters to join your party and fight for you. However unlike Pokemon you also are a fighter, and you have to pay to be healed also. This game is fairly interesting and in my mind one of the better Gameboy Color games, and one of the better spinoffs of Pokemon. However it still could've been much better.
	Shadowgate Classic review (GBC) Reviewed on June 26, 2002 The true point and click adventure. Shadowgate Classic is a game inwhich you go around and collect items that you will have to use in a different place. There is no button smashing and you can take as long as you need to solve the puzzles. Now to the history of the actual game, Shadowgate Classic is a port from the NES system brought back to the Gameboy Color. The NES version was a succesful game but went by unnoticed by others. The Gameboy Color version was identical to he NES version, and the ...
	Dragon Warrior Monsters review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown If you take a look at the box and the instructions for Dragon Warrior Monsters (heretofore to be referred to as DWM), you may be apt to dismiss it as just another Pokémon clone. Well, if you were to do that, you would be wrong. So very wrong. Read on to find out why DWM is not just a mindless Pokémon clone and it in fact is a much better, deeper, and more enjoyable game.
	The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown Though the world is massive and intricately-designed (and the dungeons too), there are likely to come several points where you find yourself groaning as you realize you have to make a trip back over most of the map. At such times, the map can seem a shade too sparesely populated by worthy opponents, or the number of rocks and holes you encounter may prove irritating.
	Super Mario Bros. Deluxe review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown I remember when men were men and mushrooms were the villainous scum standing between us and a kiss from the princess. Nintendo’s efforts to reinvigorate the classic with new modes is definitely appreciated, but that shouldn’t make you buy the cartridge. Instead, pick it up if you like the idea of stomping mushrooms on the road. In the end, that’s what it comes down to.
	Bugs Bunny in Crazy Castle 4 review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown But really, on the parts of the buyer and the developer, what's the point?
	Deja Vu I & II: The Casebooks of Ace Harding review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown The story is Deja Vu's strong point and the reason you'll keep playing. If you don't get into the story, then you'll have little reason to play the game.
	Conker's Pocket Tales review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown I got this game thinking it would be really cool like Conker's Bad Fur Day. Once I realized what the plot was like I started to become a little frightened, but the game still had potential to be good. It's pretty sad that I let a kid borrow this game, and then totally forgot about until one day he gave it back for no reason. This game has a huge problem with the age group, for it is cutesy for little kids, but is extremely challenging (Mako Island for example) Well anyway, this is why this game...
	Harvest Moon 2 GBC review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown Unfortunately you can't go and tip cows under cover of darkness (I'll have to stick to real farms for those perks) but you can do just about every other imaginable thing that you might be required to do if you were a farmer.
	The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown New in Link's Awakening DX is a full-color dungeon, only accessible through the GBC. In it, you will have to solve various color-oriented puzzles, and after defeating the boss, Link may don either a blue or red tunic, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.
	The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown After beating through Oracle of Seasons, I knew I had to have the sister game Oracle of Ages. I wanted to find out the whole story, and what had led to the faeries kidnapping. There is a big difference in the 2 games, even though the style is identical.
	The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown This is by-far the first Zelda game I had ever played. I was easily confused at first, and had trouble getting past the very first puzzles (that dumb mushroom). But after a little help from my peers, and my refusal to ever give up, I had one of the funnest gaming experiences. This Zelda game is an improvement upon that gameboy game, but truly they are the same, except one has color.
	The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown With almost every system I jumped on the Zelda games as soon as they came out, except for the gameboy color. The two Oracle games I waited awhile on, until I finally bought Oracle of Seasons. I expected a cheaply made game, just to bring in money for Nintendo. I should've known that Miyomoto would not hurt his own game series just for some quick money, and I found this game definitely enjoyable.
	Metal Gear Solid review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown You can still crawl on the floor, put your back against walls to hide from enemies, and use a variety of nifty gadgets and weapons to aid you in combat. This is the main area where the gameboy version of MGS shares the most similarities with the PSX version.
	Pokemon Silver Version review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown Sometimes when beating a trainer, they will ask to give you their number. If you agree, they will call you from time to time with hints of where to catch wild Pokémon. I just found this an annoyance, but it can also be an advantage.
	Pokemon Silver Version review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown I really don't see how Pokemon got so much praise... It really doesn't deserve it. Sure, it's not terrible, but it needs a lot of work in terms of gameplay. It's just so repetitive that it becomes boring after a short period of playing. Really, this is only for people who really like to catch cute little monsters, or
	Rayman review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown Rayman is a triumph of real fast, furious gameplay over tired gimmicks and cheap gameplay tricks. It comes as a slap in the face to fools like Titus and THQ, reminding us all that there is still fun to be had from 2D platforming.
	Shadowgate Classic review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown Shadowgate Classic is an excellent port of the original 8-bit NES version of the same game; but, unfortunately, it's lacking in the gameplay department when compared to most modern games.
	Wario Land II review (GBC) Reviewed on Date Unknown ''It's very well done, and nicely presented but it seems rushed to me, and it's not nearly as fun as it should be.''
