The more rare, obscure, or just a guilty pleasure, the better. Maybe you grew up with it, maybe it’s just the nostalgia talking, any reason is fine.
I’m looking for a new game to play, but I’m running out of games to collect!
My favorite is games for original DMG, but you’re welcome to include Color it’ll advance games too!
Rolan’s Curse (and its sequel) are pretty good Zelda-like action adventure games. They’re not going to stand up to Link’s Awakening but still, I remember them fondly.
I am interested in Rolan’s Curse 1 and 2. It’s too bad they’re so expensive!
I always thought the Triple XXX game was awesome as a kid.
Penguin Wars
Avenging Spirits. When I was younger, a friend and I loaned each other a bunch of our games. Sadly, he ended up moving away before we managed to swap back, and he got the better end of the deal when it came to the games. However, I did get left with a copy of Avenging Spirits... the game is a bit strange but its very fun and the sprite work is just adorable.
The game has you playing as a spirit who can possess enemies. You start off with a few you can possess, and then you gain more choices as you progress. Or so I believe... I wasn't all that good at the game back in the day, so I don't remember getting too far in it.
I learned about this game through MAME and it's one of the most interesting old Arcade games to me. It's also worth checking out the original Arcade version if you can.

My favorite GBA game is The Urbz: Sims in the City. The console version of the game wasn’t received very positively, but the GBA/DS version is a completely separate game, and a very good one. It’s a very goofy game with a lot of stupid (read: amazing) jokes, RPG elements, mini games, some of the best music in any GBA game and a lot more. I still revisit this game once in a while.
I even played the predecessor “Sims bustin out” for the GBA a few years ago. Urbz is way more refined than bustin out, but if you liked Urbz and you want more, Bustin Out is a great way to scratch that itch.
Ambitiousamphibian did a great video on this game a few months ago. He seems to feel exactly the same about this game as I do. Because of that, I will link it, but be aware that it contains a lot of spoilers and going blind into the game is the best way to play IMO.
