For GBC, you should make a distinction between the dual-mode titles where the GBC has more features than the GB, the dual-mode titles where it's identical other than color, and the GBC-only games. It's messy, I know, but it's the best way... though I'm not sure, should I be able to list dual-mode titles in the GB list? Like, if I could, I'd list Survival Kids, anyway.
As I said, I have 14 GBC games. 10 are GBC-only and four are Dual-mode. The four dual-mode titles are R-Type DX, Survival Kids, Pocket Bomberman, and Wario Land II (the dualmode version of course). Of those, three are identical on both consoles (other than the color), but R-Type DX is different: In GB you get access to straight ports of R-Type and R-Type II from the GB, but on GBC you get those two (in B&W), colorized and improved versions of both titles, and a R-Type DX, fifth game that ties the two together into one long game. You also can unlock a bonus minigame thing after you beat DX mode.
Good GBC games... hmm, of what I own I'd list... Zelda: Oracle of Ages, Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, Bionic Commando: Elite Forces, Kirby Tilt n Tumble, Survival Kids, Warlocked, Micro Machines V3, Heroes of Might & Magic (and a sequel)... there are a bunch of others, too (looking at the GameRankings list and remembering some of those games) -- Crystalis, Dragon Warrior 1 & 2, Metal Gear Solid, Wario Land 3, Dragon Warrior III, Mega Man Xtreme, Mega Man Xtreme 2, Shantae, Perfect Dark, etc.
Now, I don't think I'd say that GBC was as good as original GB and it certainly doesn't match up to the GBA, but it's not a bad console... I didn't play it as much as GB, true, and I didn't get as many games for it as I did for GB, but it was still a worthwhile console to own. Even if one of my favorite features with the thing was how it colorized and cleared up (removing motion blur!) original GB games. :)
