random thought: are there any game boy games that don't play properly on a game boy color? likewise for gb/gbc on gba?
@trwnh Wow, that's a surprisingly short list.
@trwnh we never knew you could play gbc games on a gb! I knew there were game boy games that had enhanced functionality when played on a gbc though
wait, are we talking about the same thing? the ones that came in black (or gold/silver in the case of pokemon) cartridges with the game-boy-style concave logo bit?
@trwnh I dunno what they're officially called, I just know we had one or two when we were kids
@Felthry Closest thing I can think of is Pokémon Gold and Silver - fine during normal operation, but they have extra glitches on Game Boy Colour due to it being possible to reboot them into monochrome mode while playing on a GBC?
@Dex https://mastodon.social/@trwnh/102810056829603151 @trwnh found a list of games that don't work on the different hardware
@Felthry According to the Nintendo website, original Gameboy games aren't always compatible with newer consoles:
In general I'd guess compatibility is pretty high since it's mostly hardware
