Conker's Pocket Tales (Rare)

About as good as a Game Boy Color game can get... When Rare stamp their name onto a product, it really is a guarantee of good value, great ideas and slick presentation.

Duke Nukem (GT Interactive)

The crisp graphics, responsive controls and addictive gameplay make this a game that every platform fan must own.

Shadowgate Classic (Kemco)

The very epitome of crappy RPGs... A dull point and clicker that beggars belief.

Klustar (Infogrames)

We know how addictive getting strangely-shaped blocks to fit together is, but we also know a copycat when we see one. Just reach for a copy of Tetris instead.

Dropzone (Acclaim)

It will appeal to nostalgic gamers and newbies alike with its appealingly simple shoot-'em-up antics - but it could have been so much better!

Logical (THQ)

A challenging, at times frustrating, game that is going to give puzzle fanatics hours of fun.

Super Mario Bros Deluxe (Nintendo)

Games of the calibre of Super Mario Bros have playability that far out-strips the majority of most modern titles. Get out and buy yourself a little piece of videogame history!

Pitfall: Beyond The Jungle (Crave Entertainment)

Whether you're old enough to remember the original Pitfall, or you're young, fresh and simply looking for a challenging adventure game, Beyond The Jungle could be the one for you.

720º (Midway)

The antiquated control system is where 720° really falls down like a precariously balanced crate of Pepsi Max on a rickety skateboard.

The Smurfs' Nightmare (Infogrames)

A professional but - in gameplay terms - somewhat dreary platformer clone.

V-Rally Championship Edition (Infogrames)

Quite simply, the best racing game on the Game Boy Color to date.

Rumble Race Top Gear Rally (Nintendo)

If you're after a rally game for the Game Boy Color, give this a miss, grab a copy of V-Rally Championship Edition instead.
