I finally got around to making dividers for my Game Boy game collection

It's just index cards cut up and written on with a Sharpie. But it really makes things easier to find. :)

Amazing collection!

When did you start acquiring?

Thanks! I bought my first Game Boy in 1990 and have been in love with it ever since. Consoles came and went but all I pretty much every bought games for and played was the Game Boy. I started collecting more over the past few years, any games that I missed out on and especially some hidden gems from Japan.

I'm curious what's under Homebrew :D

I'm very picky about which homebrew games I get. Also, I only buy cartridges authorized by the game developer themselves. :)

Big2Small by mdsteele, an original turn based puzzle, very clever and incredibly polished.
Black Castle by 7FH, an action platformer similar to Batman: The Video Game. It's one of my favorites, it's short, simple, and so much fun!
Dangan GB by snorpung, a bullet hell (yes) boss rush game for Game Boy.
Ice Cream Castle by David Couzelis (that's me, lol), a VERY tiny game made from scratch in assembly language.
Ninja Twins by Mackerel Interactive, a turn based puzzle game, very polished, very clever, and very cute.
Pineapple Kid by MHZ Games, an action puzzle game, quite relaxing and fun, doesn't take too much brain power (at least, not yet).
Retroid by Jonas Fischbach, a polished little Arkanoid clone, I can only get anywhere in it by using the 99 lives code.

I WISH I could get Sam Mallard on cartridge, also by snorpung, but there's no official copies for sale. Really, anything by snorpung and nordloef (composer) is going to be top notch. :)

Whoa, that's a nice collection. I checked out Dangan GB... dang, that's impressive. I need to play it one day. Also congrats on making your own game, assembly makes my head hurt 😅

FYI snorpung releases all of his game ROMs free to play. :)

And thanks! It was slow going, but there's something about being SO CLOSE to the hardware that just feels really good.
