I do believe the GB had some really great games. Tetris, it's launch game, is still one of the best puzzlers ever. It's portable incarnation was superior to all previous versions (all two of them :D). It eventually got remade for GBC, but GBC has a small lacking. WHERE'S THE RUSSIAN MUSIC? That stuff rocked! That music even made an appearence on The Simpsons! There's Return of Samus, Link's Awakening, and Mega Man V as well. Donkey Kong was also a very nice game, a wonderful expansion of DK Arcade that I really wish I owned. GBC is what I'd call the system that is lacking. It had very few amazing titles all it's own before GBA came along (Metal Gear Solid, Zelda Oracle, SMBDX, well that was just a remake, but hey so was Tetris GB).
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
