Classic Game Boy game collection. Part 1 & 2 - quite randomly ordered

My classic Game Boy game collection. Sorry for random order but I had no time to reorganize them this day.
I had only an hour to shoot this video and most of the time went on opening game cases. Whole shooting scene was total mess of those transparent clamshells called Game Boy cartridge dust cases.
Currently I have 405 grey DMG cartridges plus some black DMG's and Color's seen in video.
I shot this video in november 2009. It took me more than 2 month to decide if I post it here because I wasn't very satisfied with the results caused by so limited time.
People tend to ask if I have played through all of them. Ansver is no, not at all. It's a fraction of games I have beaten.
Many of classic Game Boy games I have are here only for collecting purposes. There are loads of crap in on GB games. But as I like this GB era I also like all the crap that comes with true pearls. This is just part of gaming history I adore ;)
'Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge' title music is recorded for video background tune.
EDIT @ january 2013: I am surprised that so far this is the largest collection shown in youtube. I wonder why all great Game Boy collectors hide their awesome big and huge collections. OK, I have to make update video myself at first. Today my collection exceeds 550 games and I am missing only 33 games from complete GB list known so far.
EDIT @ april 2013: I am missing around 25 titles. Some are easy to find but some never appear in eBay. It might be possible that some titles here are never released outside of Japan.
EDIT @ august 2013: I am missing around 20 titles. Found recently some obscure titles I had no idea existed in Europe. Also found Bamse.
EDIT @ october 2013: I am missing around 13 titles and I have exactly 580 titles.
EDIT @may 2014: 596 titles and missing around 7
EDIT @february 2015 last cartridges arrived. Total count: 595 US/EUR/AUS + 5 JAP + 2 Wisdom Tree titles :)
The list is here: / 893091594054750:0

Ha, this was the video I used to measure up my collection. It’s been in my favorites for years. Terry, it’s me, Vincenzo, from the Gameboy Paradise group. I’m sure your collection is even bigger than this now. Cheers!

[@TerryLondon]

Hi Vincenzo! Really happy to hear from you here in KZbin. And thanks for the feedback! Due to how life happens I cannot afford being active in KZbin (for many years :D) anymore. Each year when I think that "this Spring" I will shoot up my collection I have tons of other responsibilities to take care of. On collection side I achieved my goal of having every known label mixed across NOA and EUR while ago. Not sure if its' 100% complete list but works for me and my only concern is when will I actually have time to play and categorize the collection again :D

[@metalvinnie]

@@TerryLondon I knew you had a large collection. So its 'every game released in USA/Europe'! Getting into the Japanese ones, too, I see. I've been collecting those as well. This video seems to be the largest on youtube to this day. I haven't seen a bigger one. Awesome!

[@arminxvs3372]

THANK YOU!!! After all thise years I finally found Cutthroat Island.

[@DaniNFanGamer]

I saw this video years ago, and trough this video I started to collect games ^^

[@TerryLondon]

+Dani N Fan This is a very cool feedback! Thanks! I wish you good luck and a lots of patience for building up your collection!

[@MoviesNGames007uk]

Tip for collectors it is always cheaper to buy the games in bulk even if you might have some games in your own collection that is really common like for example tetris or super mario land just trade or sell the duplicates if its a uncommon or rare game then i suggest holding onto it.

[@TerryLondon]

True, that's how I started

[@BadBrad119]

I found mega man 5 for less than a buck. so happy to have one of the rarest GB games at the start of my gameboy collecting

[@Xinn2000]

I had a lot of these games growing up, nice to see the labels again.

[@lilmanbeingerased]

FORTIFIED ZONE! I WAS LOOKING FOR THAT TITLE BUT A COULDN'T REMEMBER! Thanks a bunch!

[@TerryLondon]

Thanks! I think classic GB is awesome for collecting. I do that because of nostalgia I feel about gray age of GB. So far I haven't found any perfect (multi region) list for GB. I know that US has 511 (by nintendoage com) gray carts but my own collection is 567 (that don't include JAP games).

[@Mute736]

Oh god. Finally i found the game that i played when i was a kid... Ty for helping me finding "Kid Dracula". Thanks a lot!!!

[@littlemissnintendofan6558]

Nice collection! You have a few i need. I have a similar collection (mint carts) except a few discoloured + CIB games as well. Gameboy collecting is the best!! I'm going to do my 1st ever video showing them soon.

[@Tj956]

YOu brought back old memories, its alot of games that I have on my SNES that I didnt know was on Gameboy wow you just inspired now to get back into the(old) gameboy im finna buy one with alot old games i use to play :)

[@FenderLesPaul1989]

One of the most epic collections I've seen here in YT man! Congrats for that! You have a lot of games that I didn't even know that existed o_O

[@sinistermoon]

That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen! Way awesome video!

[@mflexx3280]

awesome megaman dr wily's revenge tune :)

[@justasoftie]

some games you have bring back good memories when i was little. i was clearing out an old draw i had and found a game boy game called starhawk i cant see it in your collection.

[@PuppetMaster8707]

I can only hope to even have close to that many games someday but I'm working on it I only just started and every game I get feels so good

[@aalamoudi3376]

same here, just started .. thing is, its not getting easier money wise. i imagine you have to pay now 3 to 4 times the amount needed to acquire this collection 12-15 years ago. it became a business for many people to buy those games in bulk then demand a hefty premium for a loose cart. Its a grind to be a fresh collector nowadays , takes a lot of patience n search to pick every single game for a fair price

[@PuppetMaster8707]

@@aalamoudi3376 yes exactly I mostly buy not working one and fix them to cut down the cost

[@Don1Won123]

For the people thats looking for these game boy games, you can find them on Ebay, Amazon, or estarland. (better get them now because they will get hard to find and super rare.)

[@TerryLondon]

The value of collection is always relative but rough estimate of the collection in video is around $2500-$3000 if you would want to buy the similar collection. That may sound unbelievable but not every GB game is available at $5 today. But on the other side when I'd have to sell these games in a week the chances to get much more than $1000 are quite low. That's the tragedy of life :D

[@slimjohnify]

way boy u have plenty game boy tapes!! real plenty classic bring back memories!!

[@gloup81]

[@brandonreina4219]

What? No Barbie Game Girl? No Sabrina the Animated Series? No Mary-Kate and Ashley? Those games are pretty good in your Game Boy/Game Boy Color collection

[@xuantong8240]

Elevator Action is a very good game, happy to see it in your collection

[@marx4538]

Thank god, atleast someone has Kirby's Dreamland 2!

[@TerryLondon]

And it's a good game.

[@Nibgames]

This song was stuck in my head all day XD Anyways, I am looking for a GB game that I used to play when I was like 3 or 4 years old (so I cannot really remember what it really was like) but I remember there were a lot of minigames (50 or so, maybe more or less) and the picture on the cartridge was pink with black. At least, I think it did. Do you have an idea of what I'm talking about? It would really help! Nice video by the way, you sure have collected a lot :O

[@TerryLondon]

I have put lots of work into getting all of those games. So I have no plans to sell it. Probable value of the collection (here is shown only part of it) is around 4000€

[@TerryLondon]

The game you asked about is: High Stakes Gambling, Electro Brain, Jun-1992. Those R-Type games are exactly the same game but for different regions, 6:09 is UK version.

[@TerryLondon]

@BigDog91527 Actually this is the case with any collectible series. You can buy things off ebay with big lots. Sometimes even full collections at once (but I wouldn't call that collecting). I know the value of my collection so I know this collection cannot be narrowed down to typical 100 games eBay lot out there. Buying big lots of games is good way to start a collection but very soon you see that all those 50 game lots contain same games over and over.

[@HVACTechMechanic]

Nice collection man

[@TerryLondon]

+Joe Smo Thanks!

[@jbusick0729]

Hey I Gotta Say Very Nice Collection. All My Games Were Lost So All I Have Now Is Paper Boy :(

[@TerryLondon]

Hi! I updated the description below video. Today I am missing around 25 titles only.

[@frankefreaky]

wow! that's a lot of games. good reference for what's available

[@TerryLondon]

Thanks for asking! I started serious collecting more than 5 years ago. Before that I just couldn't keep my hands off from any classic Game Boy item :D As Game Boy was quite rare in my country at its heyday I have done most of my collecting through internet by ebay auctions or swapping. Of course during vacation trips I keep my eyes open and sometimes I have stumbled on good gems. But all rare stuff I have comes from ebay. Luckily collecting classic GB is not so expensive hobby yet. Good luck!

[@zachfernandez92]

=O that is a lot of Game Boy games!!! Awesome collection

[@MightyCollector]

This collection is incredible. Great video.

[@MoviesNGames007uk]

i have over 100 gb games and one of the hardest ones to find was the adventures of lolo

[@TerryLondon]

Adventures of Lolo is quite rare. For EUR collectors there is couple of cartridges in German eBay. I was lucky enough to find my own copy complete and in mint condition.

[@comicszoneuniverse]

The Adventures of Lolo for the Gameboy was one of the first game I find when I start collecting and I payed 6€ for the loose cartridge !! :p... the cartridge and sticker are like new !! ^^

[@jamesparker6447]

[@TerryLondon]

​@@jamesparker6447 To be honest I don't know anymore. I've had no time to follow the market for many years. So I have lost track of it. I feel happy if someone points out a missing GB title I don't have yet.

[@SEB12578]

miss TaleSpin, classic and good game...

[@TerryLondon]

Thanks! Emotional value is most important for me but getting hands on for a rare game always makes me feel good :)

[@TerryLondon]

Also Nail 'N Scale is a very good puzzle adventure. Worth to check out!

[@N0RlK0]

Awesome collection. Long life to 8-bits.

[@Foxtrot12345]

I remember Mole Mania! I used to have that game but I never beat it.

[@flozemb7835]

First time looking at this video. Great collection here - I certainly have the means of creating my own video, so maybe once I find the time... I only started collecting for Gameboy in 2014. For me it is fulfilling a childhood dream, and I love looking at the labels. My target is to complete the PAL area releases, but I am picking up those USA, JAP and CHN cartridges as I find them. Today (2016) I have about 70 to go. Sadly quite a few rare and expensive ones. :S

[@TerryLondon]

+Flozem B You have been very fast if you are only 70 behind. It took me more than 5 years to finish my GB title list (mixed US and PAL collection). GB collection is cheap to start but it gets bit expensive at the end. Good luck finishing your collection!

[@flozemb7835]

Thanks - only doing the full PAL set, so I am probably more behind. Though I have around 30 of the US exclusives and alternative titles. Most of which I found quite cheaply. :) No kidding regarding the pricetags of some of those last 70. If I can find them, they are quite insanely priced, and the sports titles are a drag. No particular hurry though: I don't want to burn myself out.

[@tomastucker1447]

i have stack load of gameboy games too, about 480 inculding gameboy, color and advance. so i am on the hunt just like you. i love gameboy games. my favourite handheld system.

[@SPIDER-ut3wt]

Wow, that's a very impressive collection! Awesome!

[@TerryLondon]

Thanks! At the moment I miss around 30-40 games and have 550 different classic GB games. That took me around 4 years to get that collection.

[@TheIsolatedGamerz]

Hey Terry how is the collection? Is it complete?

[@TerryLondon]

@@TheIsolatedGamerz thanks for asking! To me it is complete enough. I just discovered that I'm missing Hammerin' Harry. Quite expensive FAH region game. There are some weird versions of labels I probably don't have discovered yet as well. Noah Yannick Tennis for example. But I don't rush. And from Japan I have only the games I consider interesting or affordable :)

[@TheIsolatedGamerz]

@@TerryLondon That seems like the approach I would take " Interesting and affordable" . Never heard of Hammerin Harry until now, looks amazing! Your collection is amazing, you must often stand back and appreciate :)

[@syntheticopasetik]

THANKS finally found the name of my favorite childhood game!! QIX!

[@TerryLondon]

@HYPNOGLANCE87 Hi! Thanks again :) Good luck for updating your collection! Replacing good old games was the way I started my GB collection and then it turned to monster :D

[@smbmadman1]

@krebalo Were these collected through eBay "lots" or were these bought individually? (probably lots)

i love that maga man 1 music.wow looks like you have all the Gameboy games?? amazing collection how long did it take to collect them all??

Amazing! that's an awesome collection.

damn!!!!!!!!!!! nice cololection dude, im not even that close, but my collection gon be like yours, one day

[@Ruizfor2024]

Woah that is an amazing collection. It would be so awesome seeing all of those in a glass enclosure used for the table. With a latch to pull them out and play of course.

[@HYPNOGLANCE87]

Hey krebalo been a long time huh im checkn your collection out again my b'days next month and im seeing your games n writing them down that i used to own n my collection and replacing them that was lost when your young you lose things and you 4get em and when you get older you remember the games you see n say hey i had that game wtf ever happened to it? lol XD still a kickass collection Nostalgia will never die

[@TerryLondon]

@GettinBurned 36 is good start actually. GB collecting is quite affordable hobby. Even boxed ones aren't so expensive. Good luck!

[@littlemissnintendofan6558]

Have you come any nearer to completing your collection? Do you have a definitive answer as to how many games there are for a full pal/ntsc set? I just don't want to miss any out!! I used your collection as a guide, so thank you. It really helped!!!!!

[@TerryLondon]

Little Miss Nintendo Fan Thank you, that is so cool thing to hear! I think I completed the collection, at least the goal I set to myself once. I wanted to cover every label (not unique ID code) over US and PAL games. And this is exactly what I achieved. Many of US labels are substituted with PAL versions and vice versa but for me they are identical anyway. I have duplicated only the labels where I see clear differences on label art. So far I have not spotted any hidden treasure to hunt. Maybe some cooler Japanese titles. If you want I can send you my list where I keep track of the collection.

[@littlemissnintendofan6558]

i have a few more to get (i think 18), am up to 581 carts (all pal/ntsc). The toughest to get were Bamse, Beethoven, Lingo and Lucle. I get all variations too. I may one day extend to Jap games (Gargoyles Quest II, Wacky Races) for example. Then the tough part, upgrading to CIB, only have a small collection of 124. Hard to find other collector's who are not elitist Nintendo Age!

[@TerryLondon]

Little Miss Nintendo Fan You have done spectacular work! Bamse is on eBay for whopping 250$, not worth so much. I bargained my copy to 50.

[@littlemissnintendofan6558]

Thank you, your collection certainly inspired me! I was more happy getting Beethoven as it is so rare to find. Bamse is way overpriced, but that's the market at the moment!!! My best deal Amazing Tater for £8, and CIB Kid Dracula for £75 (one sold for £565 recently) CRAZY PRICE! I will update my video when i complete my collection, it should be a good one!!

[@Wacher21]

wait 30 years and those geames really will become rare and expensive

[@MurdatasticJR]

Brings me back... they dont make games like these anymore..

[@MarshallMathersthe7th]

Thats a lot of games man damn... And its only part of it you say... How long did you took to get all this games shown in the video?! Do you go to auctions/fleemarkets? Or you use only internet? Enlighten me cause i want to collect some classic GB games as well and so far ive only found some on the internet but the real ''rare'' games i havent walked into. And honestly im a beginning collector ;)

[@TerryLondon]

@zachyjc Thanks! So far it has took years but most of games are collected through eBay.

[@TerryLondon]

@TheWorldofnoob Bought with games from eBay. Sellers try to sell those separately so you have to ask.

[@TerryLondon]

Maybe that was Robopon: Sun Version. Its cartridge was different from other black GBC carts and had infrared port and replacable battery.

[@WorldofConker]

Elevator Action for Gameboy is the name of the game XD

[@jonathannintendonerd]

actually you can find it for $22 on amazon still in box, or through wisdom tree's website for $29. I "reviewed" it a while ago. please forgive the terrible reviewing skills I think I was on horse tranquilizers.

[@TerryLondon]

It depends. I started with larger lots but now I have to search for individual games.

[@STARLIGHT5000]

@krebalo uh well, it had like 3 sort of rectangles that were like pillars on their side kind of redish brown, and in the game there were I think 3 lanes in which those pillar like things came down with various other enemys, and the player was in some sort of ship, i remember that because I just remembered the first boss that was in some massive ship. can't rellay remember anyhing else

[@TerryLondon]

@justasoftie Yes Star Hawk is one of the 100 games I'm missing. Cannot find it anywhere.

Hey, do you by any chance know the game in which you're a guy covered in bandages, and the character is out on a revenge for it, or something? I know he wear a hat (similar to a cowboy hat, iirc) and I think a trench coat? Was a fighting game but not directly a platformer since you could move in "depth", too.

Is it hard (and expensive) to find these games now?

+solidsn2011 Hi! I started to re-buy my old game boy games and the thing went out of hands. Right now I am happy owner of every original non-Japanese Game Boy game. I wouldn't dare to go through it again. The games are not so expensive but 600 games is quite a huge amount to collect one by one over internet.

[@solidsn2011]

Terry London I bet it is! I have already bought a few games since my comment but I have also bought a cartridge with SD card and put all the games inside just to play them again! I find it extremely difficult to get all the games so I highly doubt I will ever collect them all! But if I find good deals I buy them still!

That's a stunning collection of carts you have there! Is there any in particular you're having trouble finding? I started a cart only GB/C/A collection last year, currently have around 100 GB original carts, loving the system!

Could someone help me know the name of this ooold Gameboy Color RPG game? it was kinda like pokemon but you were supose to find eggs and then you would get a creature when it opens, there was this blue and white creature that could fly following you around and it would talk to you, it was the very first creature you get and seemed relevant in the story. The levels were kinda like mazes. it was story driven not just level-clearing based and was super fun, i belive the cartridge was black but i could be wrong i was super young at the time but still remember alit of the creatures that appeared in the game. A blue Knight called Tundra i believe, a green thing with a long nose, a flying red eyeball. Many monsters could appear in a different color but that changed their element if i remember correctly. Can anyone remember the name of this game ? i would loove to pay it again.
