I've tried to mostly list songs that aren't super well known in video game music, but a few of them are pretty well known
of course i like the music for things like super mario bros 3, super mario world etc but everyones heard those
Donkey Kong Country - Reptile Rumble EXCEPT ITS THE
GAMEBOY COLOR VERSION
little known fact is because the gbc wasn't capable of the same sounds as the SNES or GBA so the GBC port has its entire own soundtrack and its really good chiptune worth checking out the whole OST for gbc if you like that kind of stuff because its def some of the best music on gameboy (original)
heres another port of an existing music to the gameboy color
Zelda: Oracle of Seasons - Windmill Man (The Song of Storms)probably my favorite zelda overworld theme
Zelda: Link's Awakening (GB/GBC) - Overworld themeTomb Raider: Curse of the Sword is a clunky ass game with some very impressive music for the gameboy
Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword - Opening (GBC)Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword - Lvl 2 (GBC)im pretty sure the other tomb raider for gbc had some good music but its literally not even on youtube and i dont feel like getting my gameboy out right now
pretty sure the shadowgate soundtrack is the same for all its releases from the Apple IIGS and then improved,colored,ported etc to atleast 14 platforms
but i know it from GBC
Shadowgate - Main ThemeShadowgate - CavernAlright moving on from gameboy color to
GAMEBOY ADVANCE!!!
