I finally got around to making dividers for my Game Boy game collection

It's just index cards cut up and written on with a Sharpie. But it really makes things easier to find. :)

Amazing collection!

When did you start acquiring?

Thanks! I bought my first Game Boy in 1990 and have been in love with it ever since. Consoles came and went but all I pretty much every bought games for and played was the Game Boy. I started collecting more over the past few years, any games that I missed out on and especially some hidden gems from Japan.

I'm curious what's under Homebrew :D

I'm very picky about which homebrew games I get. Also, I only buy cartridges authorized by the game developer themselves. :)

  • Big2Small by mdsteele, an original turn based puzzle, very clever and incredibly polished.
  • Black Castle by 7FH, an action platformer similar to Batman: The Video Game. It's one of my favorites, it's short, simple, and so much fun!
  • Dangan GB by snorpung, a bullet hell (yes) boss rush game for Game Boy.
  • Ice Cream Castle by David Couzelis (that's me, lol), a VERY tiny game made from scratch in assembly language.
  • Ninja Twins by Mackerel Interactive, a turn based puzzle game, very polished, very clever, and very cute.
  • Pineapple Kid by MHZ Games, an action puzzle game, quite relaxing and fun, doesn't take too much brain power (at least, not yet).
  • Retroid by Jonas Fischbach, a polished little Arkanoid clone, I can only get anywhere in it by using the 99 lives code.

I WISH I could get Sam Mallard on cartridge, also by snorpung, but there's no official copies for sale. Really, anything by snorpung and nordloef (composer) is going to be top notch. :)

Whoa, that's a nice collection. I checked out Dangan GB... dang, that's impressive. I need to play it one day. Also congrats on making your own game, assembly makes my head hurt 😅

FYI snorpung releases all of his game ROMs free to play. :)

And thanks! It was slow going, but there's something about being SO CLOSE to the hardware that just feels really good.

Thanks! Do you have a favorite game? :)

I had the biggest brain fart trying to find the order hahaha

That collection is siiiiick! What's in the homebrew section?? O:

Haha I didn't think about that! Yeah, left to right, front to back. :)
