Jan 29, 2017  I received this gameboy from the mail. To my surprise the screen has these black spots on the right side of the screen. Can this be fixed at all? The console powers normally, as well the screen has no dead lines or rows.

Spaces[edit]

Wow. Someone seriously needs to insert a load of spaces into this list! :-) — Timwi 17:37, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Why aren't the games numbered?[edit]

other lists say how many games there are, like the n64 list. I think they all should be like that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SeQel (talk • contribs) 20:17, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Because then changing one game, one has to renumber like a 1000. Also it's possible to count without having to number them. -Koppapa (talk) 06:46, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Odd list name[edit]

Though I'm too much of a newb to try to rename it, to align with other similar pages this page should be called List of Gameboy games.Kolano 05:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

No, the system is named 'Game Boy' not Gameboy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.105.251.97 (talk) 00:28, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Table or list?[edit]

I just finished tabulating the A section, but I'm leaning towards a bulleted list again (yes, i'm very indecisive), so what do people think? This is the format I've got in mind for a list:

• Addams Family, The (Ocean Software, 1992)
• Addams Family, The: Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt (Ocean Software, 1992)
• Adventures of Lolo (Nintendo / HAL Laboratory, 1995)
• Adventures of Pinocchio, The (Bit Managers, 1993)
• Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, The (THQ / Imagineering, 1992)
• Adventures of Star Saver, The (Taito / A Wave, 1992) AKA Rubble Saver

-Hebereke 00:18, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

List seems more compact. BTW, note games released only in Japan or Europe, other game lists are doing this but there isn't a set format.

Whatever anyone does to this, please for the love of God don't start referring to European releases as 'PAL' releases - the Game Boy uses its own proprietary video hardware which has no relation to any colour TV systems! --Zilog Jones 20:23, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Tables allow for more complete info, but that of course also requires gathering all that info. The additional info tends to complicate formating too (i.e. how to handle release dates / names across multiple regions).Kolano 05:18, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Source[edit]

Is there any list elsewhere this has been sourced from, or is it collated by people here? I was having the typical 'what the hell was that game?' thought, and with only a partial list of publishers I'm at a loss here. ;) - wee bull - 18 Apr 2006

I imagine it's being sourced from GoodGBx, which will be for all practical purposes a complete list. 86.20.30.144 11:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Errors[edit]

some of these games are nes only, yet appear on the gameboy list, - Gargoyles Quest 2, I cannot find any proof this exists and the link relates to a nes game.Also Dexterity and Funny Field are the same game and this should be noted. (I don't know which was the original version) - 22 Sep 2006

Be bold! If you see a problem fix it. As far as I could tell you were right so I've corrected it. 86.20.30.144 11:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Are there other games this applies to? Kolano 05:28, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, by all means be 'bold' .but don't be reckless as the editing guideline goes. There's infact a 'Gargoyle's Quest II' for the Game boy, but since it was only released in Japan (1993) it should perhaps go by its romaji name 'Makai-Mura Gaiden: The Demon Darkness'. Note that even though the game doesn't indicate it being a sequel (or prequel if you will) to the first Game boy game, it's infact a pretty much straight port of the aforementioned NES game 'Gargoyle's Quest II'. This is easily verifiable (even here on wikipedia, look up the NES game) and should hence be reinstated on the list. Removing titles simply because you haven't heard of them is wrong, no matter how much you consider yourself an avid videogame fan or anything of that sort. Thank you.

Major Overhaul[edit]

I've been looking into Game Boy emulation the last week and have begun compiling a compendium of ROMS using the current list. There are a few typo's and a few duplications but there is a lot of missing info and at least 200 missing games. A few games on the list have no trace of any existence on the game boy.Adding the new info will take time so bear with me!

Jan 02, 2009  After installing a program or application on Mac, do you need to keep the original dmg file, or can you just delete it? On a game it usually functions as cd, so I keep those files. But after installing a program like Google Earth and putting the needed file in Applications, do I need to keep the original dmg file used to install it to make it work, or can I just delete it? After installing DMG Extractor, all you have to do is double-click your DMG file to open it up. You can browse the files right in the DMG Extractor window if you just want to see what’s inside the DMG file. If you need to extract the file, click the “Extract” button on. Dec 27, 2006  No, you do not need to keep the.dmg file. I presume you've already double-clicked the file and followed through whatever installation process was presented to you(?). If so, the application will be installed - probably in your Applications folder - so you can. As a new user of OS X I am getting to know how it is to work with it every day and I started noticing things that went unnoticed previously. One such question is, when I download a file from the.

Begun Migration to Tables and Information Updating[edit]

I've taken a look at the following lists of games for fellow Nintendo Systems, and there's a pattern worth noticing here:

All of the Nintendo console game lists are made using TABLES!!

To that end, I have begun researching information on the specific games, and begun constructing tables for each letter, using the Super Nintendo list as a template and example. I think a list format will do more harm than good as the information here needs much more sorting and filtering and is just too convoluted to go through otherwise. I'm hoping the folks here agree, since the person who suggested a list structure did so 5 years ago, and I think that's way too old to be taken into consideration now.

Regions[edit]

Are we following Nintendo Regions? The regions on the carts? Europe has several regions. There is at least UK, EUR, NOE (Germany), FRA, FRG, SCN and a few others. It could get complicated to mention them all.

Fred-J 18:37, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

There should be some mention if we know for sure a game was only released in a certain region. And I am thinking it would be better to list the region as the second or third column.

Arcade games[edit]

Arcade classics were released both for GB and later GBC. Not sure under what name to list them

• 2-in-1 Centipede / Millipede 1995
• 2-in-1 Defender / Joust 1995
• 2-in-1 Galaga / Galaxian 1995

Incomplete?[edit]

Someone looking at this article may erroneously believe that this is a definitive list - however it is incomplete because I searched for one of my old games and it's not on there (super kick off).I'm adding it with a reference, and amending the total number of games in the opening line, but think it should be made clearer that this list is incomplete, and maybe an indication of how complete it is (as it does seem to have almost every game on it). I would do more, but don't really know enough about this topic

thanks for adding the number. the more people add their games the better this list gets Tfinc (talk) 19:51, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

i added a note at the top to make it as non definitive Tfinc (talk) 20:06, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

thanks guys. I didn't add the number per se - the article originally claimed 814 games (I assumed this was an auto-count, but it wasn't, and without counting the entire list again, we may not know if it had been updated when additions were made to the list). When I added my game, I simply edited the total number to 815. Rayman60 (talk) 22:30, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

View by release date[edit]

Hello! Is it possible to see a copy of this page without the alphabetised sections? I want to sort by date but I can only do so per letter. Am i missing a button that puts it into one big list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Picnicin (talk • contribs) 05:54, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Not as it is no, I don't believe so, they are several separate lists not one, they would have to be one list. If I wanted to see one big list in release date order I would edit the page, delete the wiki language for the top and bottom of each letter list to make it one list, then cut and paste the list on a sub page of my own user or talk page, (as to not mess this page up) and save it, that's how I would do it, a bit long winded but I can't think of an easier way. In fact you could just save it on this page then revert it, but view the history when you wanted to see it yourself. I think lists that are so long may possibly cause loading problems of something, but I don't know I maybe wrong. I could edit and paste the list my self if I have time but it'll take a little while, but not that long. Maybe someone knows an easier way...Also I just thought some of the dates are written year first (1990), some month first (August), some region initials first (JP), it is the first characters in the release box the chart attempts to put in alphabetic/numerical order when you sort by column, not the year, unless the year is written first. So in fact each letter list doesn't even show in correct release order when you sort it by that column. Which causes another problem for that idea, and an issue that should really be fixed for this list too. Carlwev 09:56, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Thats a shame it can't be done! as for editing a page to put it into one big list, that right now is outside of my knowledge of how Wikipedia markup works, sadly.Also you're onto something about needing to fix the dates to keep them uniform! -Picnicin' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Picnicin (talk • contribs) 10:41, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

major overhaul[edit]

I know DeNoel is currently working on the page, but i had been working on the overhaul for quite some time. i know it is quite rude to just make an overhaul like that, but here are the reasonings: The original page is flawed. The sort by release date does not work, many missing information, duplicate games etc. i use the 3ds page as a base, removing the regions released and instead separate the date released into the region. if there is no date for a particular region, it means it is not released. there is no need for a region column. furthermore, using the dts template enables the date to be sorted correctly compared to the previous page, whereby the dates sorted alphabetically instead. i had also replaced the game count to auto, so we do not have to manually change the number if there is another new entry. last but not least, the released date, developer and publisher column still need to be worked on. the game list on the reference from nintendo is not helping. there are missing games, and some dates seems to be wrong. tetris released before the gameboy is even released for example. and gamefaqs is full of errors for the developers and publisher too. i had to check through different web for info, but most of the web listing of gameboy games also do not match up, having different release date, developers and publisher too. therefore, the dates, developers and publisher listed might still not be correct, even though i tried my best to countercheck between different websites. the game list should now be complete, maybe missing a few games. will start working on the color page when i have time. thank you. -Ragnaroknike (talk) 05:01, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

There is a List of multiplayer Game Boy games page, so i don't think the link cable column is needed. -Ragnaroknike (talk) 05:04, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

I like the new set up much better it adds some much neeed clarify regarding Game Boy games, only think I think that could ad to this list possible missing games if there are any and then genre. DoctorHver (talk) 17:47, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

While I began overhauling the article, I took a break from doing so because of how time consuming it was. Thus, it should be expected that not all issues with the article had been addressed yet. I'm not really keen on doing everything myself, and welcome the assistance.

I began overhauling the page, because I was interested in knowing which Game Boy games had multiplayer capability, and I thought other users would, too (to my knowledge, there are no two-player Game Boy games that rely on just one unit). I was not aware that a separate article for exactly that already existed, and would greatly appreciate if this article contains a link to the multiplayer article you've mentioned, and vice versa, so that they can be found by interested parties.

Done - 19 Aug, 2015 @ 00:16 Pacific

I further would like to suggest that the primary editors for each 'List of [platform] games' put their heads together, and agree on one format for all such articles; I can't see any reason why the List of SNES games, Sega Genesis, Nintendo, etc, shouldn't be using the same format.

Wrong Game: Frogger[edit]

After searching for Frogger it seams the game was released on Gameboy Color and not on Gameboy in 1998:

Sources:http://www.ign.com/games/frogger/gbc-10900http://www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Nintendo_Game_Boy_Color/Box/big/Frogger_-_1998_-_Majesco_Sales.jpg

It should be removed from this list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.189.58.31 (talk) 20:29, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

It was released for Game Boy Color and for the original Game Boy, under the catalog number DMG-AFGE-USA. Box scans are easy to find, and here are a couple of photos of the cart:

The last days of the monochrome Game Boy get confusing, with lots of dual releases (not to mention the cross-compatible GBC carts), but Frogger clearly made it out on both GB and GBC. Goldenband (talk) 20:33, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Wrong Game: Tom & Jerry 2: The Movie[edit]

It is according to this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Tom_and_Jerry_video_games a Sega Game Gear and Master System Game.This name should also be removed from this list.

Well wikipedia is not a good source. There are pictures of the game for GAMEBOY on google. -Koppapa (talk) 06:47, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Upgrade Idea: More (Small) Columns[edit]

So, in the spirit of wanting to make this list even more useful, I'd like to propose the following additions to the already amazing list:

Gameboy Dmg 01

• a column indicating multi-player (2, 4, 16 (I'm looking at you, Faceball 2000)), etc.
• a column indicating save/password function (B for Battery, P for Password, etc.)
• Super Game Boy Compatability, etc.

These would make the sort-ability functions of the table even more useful. Not a small undertaking, I know.

Nintendo Gameboy Dmg 01

Thoughts?

Trippingencyclopedia (talk) 22:37, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

I told you this was easy right?
Use the triwing screwdriver to unscrew the back of the Gameboy. Be careful not to whip it open once you've got the screws out. There are short wires that connect the front and back portions of the unit. Slowly, open it and set the side with the screen on top of the back. It won't be perfectly flat, but that's ok.
The next super easy part is to use the phillips screwdriver to take the screws out of the circuit board that is in the front portion of the Gameboy. This is the side with the screen in it.
You may need to use the flat head screwdriver to unpinch three prongs holding the circuit board down.
Once you've got the circuit board out slide the piece of paper in between the two sides of the Gameboy. This will act as insulation to prevent any electrical shocks.
Now, look for a thick black sticker running the length of the bottom of the screen. You're going to peel this off slowly. Very slowly. Underneath this are the little soldered joints connecting all that processing power to the screen. Some of these soldered joints have come loose. You need to be gentle so you don't break any more of them.
You may need to use the flat head screwdriver to scrape, gently, to get the black sticker off.
Save the sticker.
