Gameboy Color Options (Pokemon Crystal, Resident Evil, Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare):
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/c/c192aa41.jpg

Previous Results:
Day 2 (SNES): Yoshi's Island
Day 3 (Genesis): Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Day 4 (Gameboy): Pokemon Gold/Silver
Day 5 (Gameboy Color): TBD

My Vote: I had the N64 topic ready to go, when I suddenly realized I'd forgotten about the Game Gear. Is this literally anyone's favorite system? In a lot of ways, it's the proto-PSP. I owned one as a kid, but I never played it, because why would you, when you could play Pokemon instead? So, I'm abstaining this time. I predict this to be the lowest voted system for technically impressive games. Unrelated: I'm completely ashamed at how long it took me to think of posting screenshots of the games in the poll.

Gunstar Heroes

Impressive speed and number of enemies for the system. Honorable mention to Virtua Fighter Animation--probably the best cutscenes on the system & the fighters have a fair number of animation frames, so it's also a good pick.

maybe could've saved all the ones i nommed that somehow made it on before now tbh...

also on another note, are we gonna go back and do a master system poll too or are we deciding it's safe to act like it's been covered through this and the genesis polls lol

anyway honestly Gunstar Heroes had been on my mind for this one since the genesis one but given the clear capabilities of the handheld which it demonstrated many times i honestly don't feel confident in saying it has a particular edge after all. i mean there's plenty of games on it that managed to pulled off pseudo-3D visuals on it so eh. i'll have to look into more of the overall selection than i presently know before i decide tbh

Screenshots are a good idea, but people will need to remember that we're not just voting on the graphical fidelity of the games but their overall features and mechanics, which will not be shown in screenshots.

I think between that and the relative obscurity of the MS, its fine. Were not doing old Atari systems, either.

In that case, let me say that the 2600 port of Double Dragon should win if you were to ever do such a topic:

A functional beat-em-up with an actual end boss is amazing for how limited the system is. Not worth making a topic for & it has the advantage of coming out 12 years after the system released, but it's quite impressive.

Neither of those is really known as a GG title. (Gunstar Heroes is a Genesis game, while most of the Panzer Dragoon series is Saturn.) So not knowing about these particular games is understandable. But to not even be sure you've ever heard of them at all is something.

Oh wow, Double Dragon for 2600 was an official port? I always thought it was fan made. That one is pretty good, but if we do a topic for 2600, I'd think Solaris is the clear winner:

If people REALLY want old Atari games, I guess I can make it happen. I thought no one would care.

I don't recall hearing about Solaris before, but yeah, I think you're right. That looks really good.

Man, no one cares about the Game Gear, huh? I wonder if the PSP and Vita will get this same amount of indifference.

For Game Gear I think Power Strike 2 is pretty impressive but I have to go with Ristar.

Oh damn. I suggested GBC day and completely missed it. I wanted to vote for Cannon Fodder because it had both vocal audio and FMVs:

My problem is that while I cherish my GG....I just don't know enough of it's extended library to say what was the most impressive.

Usually the most technically impressive games on a system are rarely the popular ones lol

It would have more interest than Game Gear I think, but I also think it's almost objectively Solaris lul
