Pokemon: Blue Version - Game Boy
Without a doubt the best game on the Game Boy and one of the most popular cultural sensations, Pokemon Red/Green/Blue mixed RPG mechanics with an addictive system of catch'em all and train them for battle that never gets old, spawning one of the most popular franchises of video games.
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins - Game Boy
Improving a lot on the first game and borrowing many elements from Super Mario World on the SNES to bring a title that let us experience Mario's adventures on a portable system in a creative and very entertaining way.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening - Game Boy
The first portable game on the Zelda franchise, despite being different from previous titles it still managed to convey that sense of adventure and exploration, combined with and intriguing story that made it one of Game Boy's most valuable titles.
Tetris - Game Boy
Probably one of the most popular and best-selling games of all time, Tetris achieved its peak on the Game Boy where it offered people one of the first opportunities to experience Tetris on a portable system. Add to it very catchy music and you have one of the most recommended games for the Game Boy.
Donkey Kong - Game Boy
Expanding on the basic concept of the original arcade game Donkey Kong, and mixing it with elements of other games on the saga plus elements from Mario, this title offered a variety of levels and very fun mechanics, ranking among the best games featuring the loony ape.
Kirby's Dream Land 2 - Game Boy
If the first game introduced the famous cute little ball to gaming audiences, Kirby's Adventure for the NES introduced copy abilities, but this one introduced animal companions, who not only can be used along the abilities Kirby copies, they actually offer a great deal of variey to the gameplay that make Kirby's Dream Land 2 be the best Kirby game on the Game Boy.
Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge - Game Boy
If you're fan of platforming and challenging gameplay, Castlevania II (not a remake of the NES game) offers entertaining gameplay and balanced difficulty to not feel frustated when you lose but encouraging you to continue trying.
Metroid II: Return of Samus - 3DS Virtual Console
Despite not being the best title on the saga, it was the first attempt to bring Metroid to a portable system, and the concept of hunting the dangerous lifeforms known as Metroids gives this game a sense of peril and adventure, mixed with the labyrinthous design of its cavern, it really makes you feel trapped inside a unknown planet.
Final Fantasy Adventure - Game Boy
Similar to Final Fantasy Legend II in that it was discarded as a FF game and now it belongs to the Mana series, it really is more similar to the latter, featuring action RPG mechanics, somewhat similar to Legend of Zelda or Crystalis, offering an exciting adventure for the Game Boy.
Final Fantasy Legend II - Game Boy
Originally and widely considered part of SaGa, instead of being part of Final Fantasy, this game nonetheless offered the best classic RPG experience on the Game Boy and influenced other RPGs on the system.
This is a list with the best video games from one of the most famous portable systems: Game Boy. This is a personal list, even though I tried to put the most influential games at the top.
Note: I haven't played Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons and Super Mario Land 3, so I didn't put them on the list despite their popularity.
