Lucky Luke - $5. 3d platform/shooting game, one of the few in this franchise released here (it's European). The other one is the GBC game, which I also have. No analog controls? Bah, too bad.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - $3, cart only. As far as I can tell, this is, oddly enough, the only game based on the Disney movie. There are other Snow White games on other platforms, but they're all knockoffs, not from Disney. It's part platformer, part challenge game (minigame-ish stuff). It has password save, and there are cutscenes between levels telling the story from the movie, with stills from the film done reasonably well for the GBC, though probably not quite up to Bionic Commando Elite Forces' level. In half of the stages, you run around levels collecting items. There's no way to lose here -- there's no timer or enemies, you just go around until you find all ten things you need to find. Despite the lack of challenge, the graphics are nice and it's fun enough to play. Snow White is well animated. In the first one of these levels you have to find roses (in town), in the second butterflies (in the forest), in the third bunnies (in the Dwarves' house)...
After each of these levels, you play a challenge stage. Each of these is a completely different game, and these do have ways to fail, though you have infinite lives so all that'll happen is you have to start over if you do. The first one of these is a sliding tile puzzle, with a timer, which as always I found tough but did manage to do. It's just 3x3, but I'm not good at these. The second one is a maze with a topdown view. You have four hitpoints in this, and two mazes to get through. There are enemies here to avoid, you can't fight back. Decently fun. And that's as far as I got so far, a quarter of the way I think. Yeah, this won't take long, not much challenge here... might be worth the $3 though.
