EVERY Game Boy game released in its launch year of 1989.
John Riggs can you please do a show about the best games on the PS 4? Thank you a lot good friend.
I have most of these on my PowKiddy V90.
"Final Fantasy!? For the Gameboy!? In my pocket!?" -- John Riggs. I'm like "yeah, he gets it". Cause that's how it was! And still is today Playa!
you should definitely use a filter that makes it look identical to the original Game Boy, like the green DMG shader
@@tonyah.960 GTA 5 & God Of War, list complete.
Watching many of these, still get the urge to play them today over many modern games. So often basic in its gameplay but at their core very clever and addictive.
Modern games are trash compared to top tier retro games
Older games are simpler but better. That's just the way it is (born in 1989, so that could be the reason I feel that way).
@@dustinharrison3491 Don't forget it's little story & all gameplay. Shorter games too
I got super mario land on my 3ds. I had pokemon red but later cleared it from my system to download yellow. I also got mario 6 golden coins.
I’m sensing some personal bias here😂
I graduated high school in 1990, then went into the military. After Bootcamp, my Gameboy was my best friend and great for on the Go! I started out with tons of Golf ⛳️, Tetris, Gargoyles quest and more!
Thankyou for your service sir.
Please keep doing this Gameboy series through the years. It's truly awesome!
Boxxle and solar striker music still stuck in my head 30 years later.
Holy Smokes.....Nemesis!!!! Qix!!!! Batman!!! Spiderman!!! Double Dragon!! Turtles!!! Dr.Mario!!!!! many Duracell and Energizer batteries gave their lives for hours upon hours of Gameboy play with those games!!!!
Great great great vid!!!!!
Superb !!!!
"Well, Golf finally came out for the Gameboy.
There you go."

I really enjoyed revenge of the gator as a kid! I loved going up to the upper floors.
Revenge of the Gator was my favorite as a kid as well!
I am beyond words. In 1990 I was 8. I received my GameBoy for my birthday in Nov '89. I was a German army brat living in Texas. Due to this circumstance my parents and those of my classmates had a bit of expendable income. I remember each and every one of the games you presented. Either because they are still in my attic or because one of my classmates had it and we would switch constantly. You even brought back suppressed memories with Catttrap, Hankieyo Alien, Quarth and Mercenary Force. The short music samples let me know I played them many an hour back in the day.
Mid '91 I moved back It was never the same again.
Dude yes. Gameboy has and always will be legendary!
Haven't played most of these games...and now I want to!
Great video John, I remember buying mine back in 89 with buria fighter. Wished I never got rid of it... so i rebought it off ebay. And starting from scratch again.
man I remember a family friend had captrap on their gameboy and I used to love playing it all the time
Skate or Die: Bad 'N Rad, and Tetris were the only two GameBoy games I ever had as a kid. We were poor and I didn't get allowance. If there was ever going to be a new game in the house it was going to be something everyone could play, so it had to be for the NES. Even then we only ever had five NES games. Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt (on the same cartridge), The Wallstreet Kid, Ninja Gaiden, and Contra. That was it for most of my childhood. When I was a teenager we had a fair bit more games for the SNES. I had an allowance by then. I bought Phalanx with my own money based solely on the box art. Best purchase I ever made. I had the poster of Bertil Valley that came in the box on my bedroom wall for many years. The poster alone was worth the money I paid. It was a fantastic conversation starter!
Batman, Final Fantasy Adventure, Motocross Maniacs and Heiankyo Alien are still my favorites from that year.
I got my Nintendo Game boy in 1991... it came with Tetris lol... Absolutely Loved it wish I still had it
In 1990 I was 1. It wasn't until 1993 I started getting Games. The first two games I had on the Gameboy were Krusty's Fun House and Dr. Mario. I eventually picked up Super Mario Land at Sears. Between 1993 and probably 1995 I bought Kirby's Dreamland, Super Mario Land 2, DK Land 2, Tetris and recieved Golf for a birthday present. I still have all games but, sold the Gameboy and the games I didn't want in 1997 or 1998. I was waiting for the Gameboy Color.
I had Gargoyles Quest and the TMNT game back in the day. Great memories!
Don’t look at the prices now
@@The.Original.Potatocakes I can imagine. At least I can get some of that nostalgia back next month with the TMNT Cowabunga Collection.
@@streetmagik3105 I heard don’t get the collectors edition.
@@The.Original.Potatocakes no. It's a rip off. I'm just getting the standard for switch.
This is a great video. I was exposed to most games as a kid from renting them. For some reason gameboy games weren't available to rent that I remember. So there are a ton of great gameboy games I missed out on. Thank you for these videos.
Yeah that's because video games weren't a huge thing back in the day. It was Nes & very little Sega master system games to rent at your local mom & pop shop in 1990.
My top games back in the day
1. Wario Land
2. Super Mario Land 2
3. Pac in Time
4. Micky's dangerous chase
5. Super Mario Land
6. Tetris
7. Mario Picross
8. Duck Tales
9. Mega Man
10. Micro Machines
11. Motocross Maniacs
12. Return of the Jedi
13. Disney's Hercules
14. Jurassic Park
15. Micky's Racing Adventure
16. Mystic Quest
just completed my 1990 year of Gameboy Collection. On to finishing 1991! Thank you for the video
Amazing quality video, did you upgrade your cameras?
Anyhow, looking best than ever, thanks John!
I got a new camera a little less than a year ago, yep! Though sometimes I still record on my cell phone, especially when I travel.
The komani code gave you full powerups in nemesis
Wow, so the only ones I had from this list were Bug Bunny and Final Fantasy Legend.
Loved watching your MJR video for the Game Boy a few years back. Glad to see you do another one :)
Yes!!! Anything Gameboy or NES is a winner! Enjoyable video JohnRiggs!
Brother man, I appreciate these trips down memory lane! Pummeling me with the nostalgia, and I wouldn't have it any other way.🤓😁❤
Gargoyle's Quest was my favourite GB game. I still have my OG Game-Boy that I got for Christmas the year it came out in NA but gave my games away nearly 15 years ago.
I love playing GB games on the big screen via my Pi. So great. Excellent video as always, sir.
I used to love building my own levels in lode runner
love trhose creative puzzle games. We need more of that this days.
In one of my favorite things about Wizards and warriors is the music even the game boy version had very memorable 8-bit music
Nice to remember games i've forgotten over the years.
I was OBSESSED with Kwirk as a kid.
A must see video for any fans of the OG Gameboy! Great video John
I got Revenge of the Gator and Cosmo Tank with my Gameboy when I got it for Christmas I think in 91 I still play them today.
I can't afford the batteries to see this entire video. I remember my cousin getting his Game Boy, even being able to play Tetris in our tent camping was mind blowing.
I absolutely love the Game Boy port of Double Dragon. It was so impressive in '90. It plays great, and the music translated over great. I actually prefer this port of DD over all of the other contemporary ports. I just wish the 2-player was co-op not just versus like the NES. Of the '90 releases, I also had a ton of fun with Solar Striker, Motocross Maniacs, and Nemesis though I only got to play these at my uncle's-who was just ~3 years older than myself-until he helped me buy a GB after Double Dragon came out (he didn't pay enough attention to the manual, and we thought, for whatever reason, that the 2p mode was going to be co-op unlike the NES port, which I already had already rented a few times). This episode brings back a lot of good memories, and reminiscing about playing some of these games (and others, especially the hours and hours we spent of Nintendo's Baseball on the GameBoy) were some of the last things my uncle and I talked about the day he passed away four 4th of July's ago. He even gave me his own GB and games that day. I have so many fond memories of playing on the Game Boy though my experiences with it these days are tinged bittersweet.
I see i had a good childhood… greetngs from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Oh man, I absolutely love the old school Game Boy!
Great video John!
Out of all the games you listed, I never played ANY of them as a kid and as an adult have only played TWO of them for just a few minutes. I have a LOT of catching up to do.
Loved the teaser at the end of this video for your next one. It worked really well.
I had revenge of the Gator as a kid I'm not a pinball fan my favorite part of the whole entire game was the amazing title screen in the music that went with it. It was fun to watch the Gators come out and dance
Love your channel
Definitely need to dig in on game boy, I played virtually zero of these.
Excellent John thanks so much for this list! I’m currently hunting some of them down :) best wishes to ya
Picked up revenge of the Gator a few months ago. Man, that’s a quality game! Kind of addicted to collecting video pinball now.
Also recently picked up duck tales, motocross maniac, Qix and solar striker. ❤❤
Fall of the foot clan is my favorite game boy game! That game was fun as hell!
John, your video's has gotten really good. Camera work, quality, presentation everything is just looking so good now. Keep it up and good luck! Your on par now with Metal Jesus. Did you get tips from Jason? :D
I remember playing a Gameboy puzzle game that revolved around positioning mirrors/reflectors and making a path for light or some beam to travel to a predefined point to finish the level. Don't remember the title of it.
John this is a solid video. I’ve been wanting to get back into gameboy, I’m thinking of going back to basics and getting a dmg (I’ve had many other gameboys in the past) so this video was great for me. Also, you strangely look exactly like my Dad to the point that I do a double take every time I see one of your thumbnails pop up on my reccomended 😂
You may not have cared about the original Golf but that was a great game. The physics were really well done, and it kept the top 5 scores of the two courses. My brother and I would always try to beat each other's score.
I really like how you brought up the choppy movement in some Game Boy games and how that was to compensate for the screen ghosting effect. I'd never thought of that before. I'm actually working on making a Game Boy game with GB Studio, so I had done a lot of thinking about how games were built around the Game Boy's hardware limitations. It's a good thing you pointed that out for me.
I love a good in-depth game with amazing graphics. With that being said I think these are my favorite kind of games. Beautiful pixel art and actual fun gameplay
Great overview. I have over half the ones you mentioned plus more. 1990 had 60 games released. I have almost 30 of them in my collection right now. Slowly working on completing 1990. 1989 was easy as it only had a handful. Some other notable games were Paperboy, Pipe Dream, and Side Pocket.
Double Dragon and TMNT and Duck Tales are awesome 😎
Also Dr. Mario is great too
Wasn't there a Game Girl too, or was it my imagination. I recall seeing that in a nintendo power, was it the same thing, but pink?
Man, great video and game footage. Back in the day Game Boy games were so expensive (at least for my family), and video rental stores did not have game boy games so I never got a chance to check out most of these. I'm diving in now though, thanks for the video!
super mario land, super mario 2, sneaky snakes, kirby, Metroid, and tertris ( one of the rare puzzle games i enjoyed) , were my top games i played the most, i also played snoopy's magic show fairly often, it was a puzzle game which i normally didnt like, but this one was an action puzzle game, avoiding obstacles and projectiles coming at you.
Kwirk is so damn good. Such a brilliant car trip game back in the day
My dad loved his GB.
I got my gameboy by a happy accident. Someone left theirs on a city bus and I kept it, along with Tetris, Fist of the North Star, and Final Fantasy Legend.
I have/had a ton of these. Gargoyle's Quest, Qix, Quarth (came out on Famicom), Final Fantasy Legend, Motocross Maniacs, Fortress of Fear, Batman (one of my favorite games on GB), Solar Striker, Nemesis, Penguin Wars, TMNT, Cosmo Tank, Mercenary Force (better than it has any right to be), and Grem... oh... So many good games in one year.
Man...
Can't wait till 1991 !
Oh man, Cosmotank is so good. Loved that one.
Killer puzzle line-up
Revenge of the Gator is probably my favorite Gameboy game
Wow, I used to play Bubble Ghost, but I had completely forgotten that game. The only Game Boy games I remembered playing back then were Super Mario Land and Boxxle (I am sure I played Tetris, but I was never a big fan of it). When I saw that gameplay though, it came flooding back. Thank you John for the forgotten memory.
Great video. Many games I’ve never heard of.
Love you Mr Riggs
Man this was Good I waslate to Gameboy I got my Clear Gameboy back in 95 but Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle, Gargoyle's Quest, an Fist of the North Star Ghostbusters 2 Hal Wrestling LOVED PLAYING that game memories were some of the games I had back then. Awesome Vid
I had a cardrige when I was 6 with like a 100+ games on it back in the 90s. And most of the games you listet were on it. I forgot some of the games but remembered them through this video. 😅
Oh yeah I remember those 100-1 cardrige back in the day.
Still have Load Runner and Turtles games not my originals unfortunately but have built nearly my childhood gameboy game library
Killer video dude
I was never into portables but I knew they had a ton of great games. Now with eyesight issues is hard to begin. Good reviews and cool video John!👍
I had Tetris, Alleyway (Breakout), Super Mario Land 1 2 & 3, Pac-Man, F-1 Race, Castlevania: The Adventure, Revenge of the Gator (pinball), Golf, Bo Jackson's Baseball & Football, Spider-Man, TMNT, Final Fantasy Adventure 1 2 & 3, Kirby's Dream Land 1 & 2, Metroid II, Zelda: Link's Awakening, Looney Tunes, Wario Blast, Pokemon Red, Donkey Kong (1994), Joshua
I WISH I had Motocross Maniacs & Double Dragon back then! Trials is one of my favorite modern series, and Double Dragon was my favorite arcade game back then.
Considering how much I like fighting games, I probably would also have enjoyed the Fist of the North Star game. As well as World Heroes 2 Jet which came later.
Yes I did
I have Cosmo Tank. It’s alright,… I keep getting stuck in like loops. The objectives are kind of unclear. I think in part because it’s not translated into English.
So many of my FAVORITE games on this list! From The Amazing Spider-Man, the first game I got with my Game Boy asides from Tetris of course! TMNT Fall of the Foot Clan one of the best TMNT games until the TMNT III The Manhattan Project & Turtles IV: Turtles In Time, Solar Striker I played more times than I count, loved Qix, & Batman was fantastic! A lot of these games were way better than their NES counterparts & I’m glad the Game Boy was my first Nintendo console! I wish I had known about Nemesis back then, because I would have loved that, but I have it now! Great video & list!
1:38 _also known as:_ *Sokoban*
I'm right there with you. Qix was my favorite too. I found a sealed copy at a con about 10 years ago for $15 and snagged it. Its one of my favorite display pieces.
Little bit sad that Sword of Hope is not in this cool list. I really like this rpg
Where did the "Game Boy Games You Played in 1991"-video go that you teased about in the last minute :( ?
Link's Awakening was my first Gameboy game that came packed in with my console and will always be my favorite Gameboy game of all time but I also got Batman and The Amazing Spiderman 2. My parents thought I liked super heroes for whatever reason (although the Batman toys were pretty awesome most of the time). The music in Batman was excellent. I learned the title song on piano by ear and it stays fresh in my mind 30+ years later. Spiderman 2 was a pain but it holds a special place for me as well. A reoccurring nostalgic memory when I think of these two is plugging the old Gameboy into the wall outlet while leaning towards the lamp light on the arm of the chair with Roseanne on in the background and waiting to be called to the kitchen for dinner.
Hey John riggs I'm a big fan of your videos
fun thanks John
Interesting list I only played versions of a couple of the games.
this is what I'm waiting
Amazing Spider-Man and Skate or Die: Bad 'n Rad where two fun games
wow, that might be the best year of releases on any console.
Fun, nostalgic video - especially as an early Game Boy owner! Would have been nice to have grades for each game, but all good.
Fun fact: the Konami code worked for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan game for Game Boy.
Tetris was perfect on the Gameboy.
perfect pack-in for the ultimate system seller.
Good lord, I've never heard of 80% of these games 😅! I didn't get my GB until late in 91 so I had some more recognisable options out there. Gargoyle's Quest was also one I always wanted but never got or even played. I had only seen print ads for it and thought it looked awesome for some reason. Didn't even know until this video that it was more of an adventure game, which WOULD have be right up my alley. It just looked like a cool platformer with amazing(LoL!) graphics. Ahh, to be 9 years old again.
I loved penguin wars ...I have the arcade archives version now on switch and have the 4th highest score on the leaderboard lol
As someone born in the late 2000s, i can confirm i played these in 1990
I got Kwirk because of the Power Team cartoon (part of Video Power)
A great compilation. Solar Striker's development was headed by the inventor of the Game Boy, Satoru Okada, and Revenge of the Gator's development i think was headed by Satoru Iwata himself. Historically pretty important titles in my opinion.
My personal opinion best ones on this list are teenage mutant Ninja turtles fall the foot clan final fantasy legend and Motocross mania. I never get tired of playing fall the foot clan it's easy and simple only five levels. It just feels like the perfect kind of game like how the NES one should have been. I always thought maybe it was closer to a beat him up or like a hybrid platformer beat him up type
When I was little I had a lot of these games on a pirate cartridge which had a button on it to switch games. Has anyone ever seen one of those?
When I got the Gameboy, it mainly had shytty games. Tetris, Mario, Zelda (like's awakening), Double Dragon, and Final Fantasy (III) was alright. Pokemon was a game changer.
