They really could have tried harder to make that completely unreadable, they almost succeeded.

Pokemon Gold and Silver boxes were my favourite as a kid
i think i liked them because i saw them in gaming magazines. the games came out in japan/usa before europe so i spent months reading about the games in the magazines. the games looked like a big improvement over red/blue/yellow so i was super hyped for them. my dad bought me both copies because i begged and begged him. even after i got the games i would still sit and stare at the boxes and even go into my local game stores to look at them. i know it might sound weird but the games just fascinated me and i was in love with them lol.
aww yeah. they were nice but not as nice as the crystal cartyeah these are the quintessential GBC games, so it's only natural to think of them when thinking about the GBC.
but more so than the covers I'm thinking of the carts themselves. the glittery gold and silver plastic with the shimmering foil print

Both shitty games, but i loved the boxes:
More or less the same happened to me. I finally got a GBC with pokemon silver for my birthday
Apparently..."The word "Rock" in Rockman is a reference to the music genre rock and roll, and is meant to work in tandem with his sister robot, Roll. However, Capcom Consumer Products Division president Joe Morici changed the name from Rockman to Mega Man because he felt "The title was horrible."[9] In addition, the original Mega Man titles intentionally incorporated a "Rock, Paper, Scissors" gameplay mechanic into defeating certain enemies"
I remember! I had yellow as well, pretty much ended up getting all 5 (never owned crystal) but yeah there just was something special about silver/gold. I still have vivid memories of going through the manuals and looking at the art over and over.I got my GBC with the launch of Yellow, yet I more strongly associat the system with Gold and Silver.
shows what branding can do I guess lol.
because even tho it's not officially branded as one, Yellow is indeed a GameBoy Color game (at least in the west, in Japan it's not GBC enhanced because it launched too early there)

Title would have been alot more fun if their were two of them.
eh, Im from the UK and even I know that hero turtles was lame. dumb pearl-clutching mothers got the name changed.Hero Turtles > Ninja Turtles
Was there supposed to be boxart? No boxart or titles here on my end.Back in the day, us old folk (~30+) had to either wait a fortnight/Month for your Local Newsagent to get their gaming magazines in OR you just went to town and decided how to part with your hard earned cash by aimlessly looking at the boxes. Naturally, the first thing your eyes were drawn to in the 80's/90's was the front boxart.
Seemingly, after over 30 years of gaming, SOME games are synonymous with the console for my own personal reasons. Not so much the game at times, but the memories associated with the case.
Gameboy
First game I remember Opening for Xmas. Finally, My own Gameboy!
Master System
The first Master System game I personally remember having full colour box art, not just a clip art figure standing in front of graph paper (As iconic as it is)
Megadrive
First game I played at a friends house. I remember staring at it, waiting for him to finish Sonic wso I could be Papa Shango
Nintendo 64
Had a Blast (No pun Intended) on this. Inexplicably one of my favourite N64 Games
Playstation
Feburary 1998, I was laid up in bed with Glandular Fever and could only really muster the energy to pay curling on this for 2 weeks solid.
Dreamcast
Bloody Awful game, but I played the hell out of it. Kinda scratched the "Streets of Rage itch". Kinda.
Yoooooooooooooo!! This brings back memories! The amount of sass and sarcasm Seaman thought me is still practiced to this day
I loved this game. GameStop midnight opening line was no joke, but watching Snake smoke cigarettes during the installation was worse.Everyone thinks of mgs4 with ps3, I’m not a huge old snake fan but I love mgo.
I’ve secretly wished for a Bouncer remake or sequel… as repetitive as it was, I loved that game.NES:

Fucked that up
