I have two games picked out, that's a lot compared to 1999 where the only game I bought and kept was F-Zero X, and I had perviously gotten that in 1998 but traded it in (even trade) on a new NFS4 in 1999.

Yeah, it is kind of like an icon now....but that is no excuse for continuing to rip people off....it should be the exact opposite. Nintendo makes a ton of money of off that thing...they should be able to lower game prices to reasonable levels. What the GB has done for the industry should be irrelevant to how much games cost. All I know is that I can promise you that id put far more effort into Q3A's 500MB of programming than anybody put into a 1MB GBC game...yet it only costs about $10 more than your average GBC game.

Actually Game Boy games are like 4 Megabits or smaller, a lot less that one Megabyte, which is eight Megabits, or am I mistaken?

That is another gripe of mine about the GB. How the hell can they go so long without making a backlit GB??? It is such an obvious thing to do...I thought about it when it first came out. If Nintendo cares so much about it's products, why hasn't this been done yet?? Oh yeah, and that indiglo one that came out in japan does not count because (1), it did not come out here in the US and (2), they annouced the GBC shortly after which basically rendered it useless.

Hmmm...tough one. Tetris is an amazingly addictive simple game. I've put a ton of hours into that game over the years. I guess I get a different kind of excitement from the 2 types of games. Tetris is a great game to relax with every now and then. Q3A and UT are very intense and adrenaline pumping type games...great for working out aggression :) Of course, that is why I specified 'in a long time'...because the GB has some superb games...especially Tetris and Zelda.

Well, I know they don't have to lower prices...mainly because they have no competition. But that is my point. They are ripping us off simply because they can get away with it. I point this out because certain people on this list are always talking about how Sony is huge corporation who doesn't actually care about games and is just here to make a quick buck. Yet here we have Nintendo that is releasing a horde of lame ass GB games...yeah, some people love Pokemon...but the rest are mostly crap....and charging outrageous prices while doing it.

At the time Tetris also came out on the NES, the dominant console at the time and it became a hit, and people got addicted, when they found out Tetris came with the Game Boy that made them want the Game Boy. Although I wanted the Game Boy for Super Mario Land and my brother got his for Double Dragon, I know many people who bought the Game Boy only for Tetris.
