I'm looking to find good GBC games that are underrated, something with a lot of depth and lasting appeal. I've played and own a lot of games for the console and I know there are hundreds of great games that went totally unnoticed.

Heroes of Might and Magic 2 it's amazing what they were able to pull off on such a limited hardware, not as good as the PC version, but I dare say it's almost as agood

as for other "underrated" games... Shantae maybe? but that game costs a small fortune, really, the gameboy color only has... 20 good games that aren't ports of other games imo

I'd recommend Magi-Nation. It's a good RPG title for the handheld device.

Bionic Commando: Elite Forces Blaster Master: Enemy Below Bomberman Max Dragon Warrior I & II Dragon Warrior III Gex 3: Deep Pocket Gecko Lady Sia Metal Gear Solid R-Type DX Those are worth checking out if you haven't played them. I'll assume you've played Wario Land III and the Zelda games already but if not then those as well.

The Lion King game. When I was a kid I had tons of fun with that game.

Even if it isn't underrated, Wario land 3 pretty much fits your description.

Also, pocket bomberman.

It's not underrated so much as under-appreciated, but check out Metal Gear Solid (original title was Metal Gear Ghost Babel). Though not canon, it makes an amazing Metal Gear experience without really sacrificing anything besides the obvious, and it's absolutely worth playing.

Legend of the River King 1 & 2 is extremely underrated and unknown to many. They're fun little RPGs that revolve around a young boy and his fishing.

My favorite GBC games:

  • Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
  • Bionic Commando: Elite Force
  • Crystalis
  • Donkey Kong Country
  • Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX
  • Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
  • Legend of Zelda: Oracles of Seasons
  • Mega Man Xtreme
  • R-Type DX
  • Resident Evil: Gaiden
  • Super Mario Bros. Deluxe
  • Tetris DX

I know, it's supposed to be underrated ones. But truthfully, there's not too many out there that are really all that great. And BTW, I don't play Pokemon games, that's why you don't see them.

You know which game I enjoyed that barely gets recognized due to its license? Harry Potter. The first few at least had some pretty great titles in there.
