I think those are good additions. I bought the Spanky's Quest that sat on ebay for over a year at $29.99. It was a bit beat up, which I'm assuming is why is was there so long. I still haven't seen another one since.

That one has been up for a while in pretty superb condition, although I think it's quite overpriced.

Edit: 1 mini update, added the game Knight's Quest to the list. IMO quite difficult.

I have all of them boxed except: Chuck Rock, F1 Pole Position, Fish Dude, Flintstones, Jetsons, Metal Masters, NIV, Ninja Boy 2, Tour de Thrash, Spiritual Warfare, Spud's Adventure, and Sumo Fighter

Wayne's World
Itchy & Scratchy
Ninja Boy 2

Also, I might add these:

Barbie
Centipede (accolade)
Mr. Do!
Spiritual Warfare,


I might remove these:

Addams Family Pugsleys Scavenger Hunt
Great Greed
Metal Masters




I gotta disagree with some of those removal suggestions. I've only seen Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt on ebay once in the last 5 years, and it ended over $300. It may go for less next time, but it certainly is pretty rare in my eyes! I don't think I've ever seen Metal Masters.

Also is Ragnorak's World seriously rare? I never really thought it was, but kinda neat to know if it is!

Personally, I'd also add Buster Bros and Alfred Chicken

Updated and added Buster Bros. Personally I'm iffy on Ragnorak's World making the list, but i'm going to keep it anyway. I don't think it's anywhere near some of these, but it's definitely a toughie. If I get 1 more suggestion for Alfred Chicken it will be added. The 3 suggestions to remove will definitely stay as I've rarely seen those. That pugsley's on ebay went for $320 or so a year ago. Haven't seen one since.

Also if anyone has a buster bros. CIB for sale, i'm in the market for one.

The thing about GB games is that you could easily end up with over half the collection on the list!

Now that I think about it, I would personally add Dick Tracy to the list. Some others I'd consider are: Burai Fighter, Spider-Man + X-Men, Mortal Kombat I + II (compilation), Avenging Spirit, Miner 2049er, Real Ghostbusters, Shaq Fu, Sports Illustrated: Triple Dare

Metal Masters is still available online, sealed, so that definitely shouldn't be on the list. And Pugsley's has shown up at least 6-7 times in the last 3 years on eBay UK. You have to watch European auctions to get a better idea of GB rarity I think.

Great deal on that Spanky's Quest RPGCollector. Added to the list.

I myself just got a beautiful Captain America CIB in the mail yesterday. Thanks so much Fantomex.

I seriously stared at it for 5 minutes once I got it. It's pretty special. It's not even in where all the rest of my Game Boy games are, I put it on my shelf with my favorite stuff. Right in front of my CIB Little Samson. Thanks again man!

I'd like to hear more opinions on Bionic Commando. I personally have the box to it (no cart/manual). I think it's pretty damn difficult to get CIB but not sure if it's worthy of this list.

I decided to add both Bionic Commando and Alfred Chicken. I mean hell it's Game Boy, the more the merrier right?

Haha Fanto, I had a small snipe set on that Yogi Bear, but I'm saving my extra paypal for something a little better. Congrats on that one though, it looked minty.
