GB - These were $1 each and cart only.

Toy Story - I had this as a kid, and hated it so much I actually sold it. The ... play .. control ... is ... so ... slow ... and ... bad ... (great graphics though!)
Monster Truck Wars - average topdown racing game, not too bad. Where's Bigfoot though? I think that on the GB, topdown works better than behind-the-car, for racing games.
Super Chase HQ - A GB version of one of the Chase HQ games. This game is simple, as with all of the games in the series, but okay. I got to level 7 in my first try, so unless it's quite long, this game is short... it does get harder later on, though, because of the tighter time limits and because you start having to use special items to hurt the bosses. Graphics... what do you expect from a GB behind-the-car racing game? They're pretty plain, but work.
Bart Simpson: Escape from Camp Deadly - As with most of the 8/16-bit Bart games from Acclaim, this game is really hard.
GBC - as with GB, $1 and cart only.

Armorines - This is a simple but fun topdown action game. You run around, shooting aliens and trying to avoid getting hit by them. Most of them just damage you by running into you, though some can shoot. You have a laser gun thing with infinite ammo as your weapon, and one button fires in the direction you're moving (eight directions), while the other locks you in strafing fire. You can only strafe up/down or left/right though, not diagonals. There are occasional health or weapon powerups to collect, but you don't really have an inventory or anything -- this is a pretty straightforward game. It is, of course, a handheld version of the N64 FPS game of the same name. I was kind of expecting a sidescroller, because all of the GB/GBC Turok games were sidescrollers, but topdown works well for this game, and even though it's simple, it's fun enough. It is annoying that enemies often respawn when you go to another room, but I think it was similar on the N64... (no multiplayer here, though, unlike that version. The N64 game even has co-op.)
