Being able to aim up and down shouldn't be some sort of unataibable, magical ability in games. It's been pretty standard since the late 80's.

You know, I'd never really noticed that you couldn't aim up and down in those games... because it doesn't really matter...

I really don't understand how you can consider Mario Land to be a great game. It was very bad by Mario standards. I have FF Adventure and it's pretty fun. But as with all of those other games you mentioned (except for DK), I don't consider it to be great.

SML is bad in no sense of the word. Is it a really great game? No. However, its a good platformer... and not 'bad' in any way I'd use the word. I'd say its good, but admittedly not great. Its short length and lack of saving do hurt.

FF Adventure I liked a lot too... not as good as Zelda, but still a great game.

As for those other games... we obviously have a very different standard for a game being good... how can you not like Kirby 2 or Wario Land a lot? And how about Mole Mania? There are plenty more too, I just can't think of them offhand... and some require liking the genre -- I love Micro Machines because I love racing games, and Gradius because I really like sidescrolling shooters...

The GBC is a different matter. There are quite a few more great games on that system. And since you can't play GBC games on a regular Gameboy, I consider it to be a different system.

You just have a different value of the word "great" than I do. I don't just throw around that adjective like you do. I put games in four basic categories: crap, good, great, and fantastic.

And I definitely think that as far as software goes, the original Gameboy was by far the weakest for Nintendo.

The GBC was by far a much weaker system than the GB... I can't see how you could possibly prefer it to the GB. I mean, there are so few truly great GBC games, and so many for GB... unless you count all the GB games as GBC games too, but that just isn't sane. No, the GB is a MUCH, MUCH stronger system as far as games go than the GBC... and a lot of GBC games (the dual-mode ones) work on a GB too... I can't see how you could prefer the GBC unless color means that much to you, which you said it doesn't.
