1. INTRODUCTION
==============================================================================
This list (for want of a better description) aims to provide basic data and
gameplay descriptions for GameBoy, GameBoy Color and Virtual Boy cartridges.
Its main purpose is to serve as a reference guide for cartridge collectors who
seek to find out basic info on the endless reams of titles that fill the pages
of second-hand catalogues. It may also be useful for those GameBoy owners
generally curious to find out about all the weird and obscure games lurking
out there in the wilderness.
This file can be viewed using any text editor and has been optimised for DOS
EDIT.COM (if anyone still uses that). It will print out okay from any printer
but bear in mind that it is over 100 pages long and will be out of date as
soon as the next revision comes along.
TIP: Use the FIND... function of your editor to search for specific game
titles.
==============================================================================
2. REVISIONS

0.4 05/25/00 600 entries (409 GameBoy, 160 GameBoy Color, 31 Virtual Boy)

0.1 04/27/00 300 entries (228 GameBoy, 62 GameBoy Color, 10 Virtual Boy)
==============================================================================
3. WHAT'S NEW?
==============================================================================
- More games added. Now up to the 700 mark. Added info on a number of Japanese
games. However, my Japanese is virtually non-existent so I apologise for any
mis-spellings in any of the titles.
- Thanks to David Dayton, a handful of games now have serial/ID numbers
listed. In case you don't know, these are the alphanumeric codes written
down the side of a cart's label (eg DMG-SA-USA).
- Updated the Frequently Asked Questions section (and also placed some of the
questions in a different order!)
- The vast majority of the featured games now have release dates. However,
248 of 'em are still undated, so help if you can.
- Corrected a few minor errors, thanks to eagle-eyed readers.

When reading the entries below, please bear in mind the following:

silly mistake that has slipped through the net. If you find something
that's blatently wrong, please tell me!
2. If two games exist with the same title, they will be allocated numbers
(1), (2) etc.

this document down. They are merely intended to provide a vague indication
of the gameplay.
4. If you spot a description that looks vaguely like one that appeared in a
GameBoy Monolith (
http://www.vgf.net/gbmono/) review, don't scream
plagiarism. I hold copyright on all the GameBoy Monolith reviews from
which quotes are taken.

game elsewhere in the guide.

8. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
==============================================================================
Q. Can I get a <GB/GBC/SGB/VB> only version of this file?
A. Not yet. Most people seem to prefer it in this "all-in-one" format,
presumably so they can flick between the various systems without having
to fiddle about with multiple files.
Q. Will you add GameBoy Advanced carts to the list once the console is
released?
A. Yes. (~ Steve senses a whole lot more work ahead of him! ~)
Q. I've bought a GameBoy Color. Will all the non-GBC games featured in the
list work okay with my new purchase?
A. In 99.9% of cases, yes. However, there are a small number of GB carts that
experience problems running on the GBC (typically minor problems like sound
glitching; usually nothing to prevent you playing the game). I'll try to
determine which games have problems for a future version of this guide.
Q. I've gotten hold of a "Super GameBoy 2". Will all the games listed as SGB
compatible in the list work likewise on the SGB2?
A. They should do. The SGB2 is basically an upgraded version of the original
cartridge with the addition of a link cable port (amongst other minor
things). Hence I see no reason why SGB1 compatible games shouldn't work
just fine on the newer unit.
Q. Should there be a space between the words "Game" and "Boy" or is it
supposed to be just one word?
A. The official spelling used on Nintendo packaging and literature is
"Game Boy" (with a space). However, some people (myself included) do away
with the space and form a single compound "GameBoy". Basically, it makes
little difference either way! :)
Q. I've seen a <number>-in-one GameBoy cartridge at my local store. Why don't
you include it in the list?
A. These multiple game cartridges contain pirated versions of the games in
question. They are sold behind Nintendo's back to people who like the idea
of getting a whole bunch of games for the price of a single cart. Besides
the moral issues, there are way too many of these carts, containing many
different combinations of games. How big do you want this list to be?
Q. Isn't Final Fantasy Mystic Quest a SNES cart?
A. Yes it is. However, I've seen it listed numerous times in second hand
catalogues in reference to Final Fantasy Adventure, hence its inclusion
here as a point of reference for confused buyers!
Note: This situation has now been clarified. See the relevant entries in
the list.
Q. Where can I find information on the Virtual Boy title "In a Mouse's House"?
A. This is a game that many people seem to request. I believe the game in
question is actually Insmouse No Yakata, with the title translated badly.
If this mis-translation is a frequent occurance, I may add it to the main
section of the guide (like FF Mystic Quest above).
