Hello i am looking for some tips for GB games.
I really like the simplicity of games like : Galaga, Dig Dug, Defender, Missile Command, Tower of Druaga, Tetris etc.
You know, that type of games that are easy to get into but you are mastering them your whole life. ;D
And they are best on portable system :)
Any tips for some hidden(more less) gems on GB of this sort?
Thanks, and sorry for my engrish :)
'Pac Panic' (Pac Attack), while not strictly an arcade port, it's based on the arcade game 'Cosmo Gang - the Puzzle'. Really great game for the GB, especially the puzzle mode.
'Puzzle Bobble' (Bust-A-Move 2) is pretty good and 'Heiankyo Alien' is another good port of a really old and fun arcade game. 'Mr Do' is very playable as well.
I really like Tasmania Story, and that one's based on Namco's Mappy. You might also like Natsume's Amazing Penguin.
I would recommend classic Game Boy games for you: Tennis, Solarstriker, Alleyway, Tetris, Dr Mario, Bubble Bobble, Yoshi no Tamago, Spartan X, Rockman World series, Super Mario Land series, Kirby series and Castlevania series.
Satoshi Matrix has Game Boy top lists on his blog http://satoshimatrix.wordpress.com/.
If I was to recommend what I thought were the best Game Boy games overall... Ninja Gaiden Shadow, Ganso!! Yancha Maru, Sumo Fighter, and all the Takara/SNK fighting game ports.
Thanks for answers.

Yeah, nice list but i know about most of these "best ever GB games", but Spartan X looks great, i had no idea it was ported to GB.
I was reading top lists on Satoshi Matrix just yesterday. I know about most of these games but there are some hidden GBC gems in GB/GBC Top 100 games (like Daikatana and that Natsume ninja game), sadly it is unfinished. :(

I own Battle Arena Toshinden and Ganso!! Yancha Maru, both are really great. Ganso!! Yancha Maru is really simple but fun to play every now and then. It remins me a Super Mario Land 1, simple but fun still after these years. :)
Yeah, there are definitely some changes to Mappy's formula. I think it's a bit tougher, the screen doesn't scroll so the action is confined to a much tighter area, your hero drops bombs to kill enemies, rather than opening/closing doors on 'em, and you fall through the floor a lot faster, so you gotta act quick. It's a hectic game, but I reiterate, very fun.
2 arcade-y games I really like are Mr. Chin's Gourmet Paradise (set 2 bombs down between enemies to turn them into food, break bricks ala Super Mario Land for power-ups) and Lock n Chase (updated from the arcade version with themed levels and such).
