Are there any lesser known gems that are compatible with the original DMG Game Boy? Imports included.
I can think of a few games that never seem to get mentioned:
Bomberman series - There were several of these spanning DMG to Game Boy Color. A few of them include traditional versus CPU modes if you use special passwords.
Gradius - There were two of these for DMG, the first one being a rebranded Nemesis title in all regions.
Tetris sequels - Tetris 2 was ported from its NES version, and then there was Tetris Blast, which is known as Bombliss in Japan. Then there's Tetris Attack, which is really just a reskin of Panel de Pon.
I like Double Dragon I and II on the Game Boy. Too is kinda simplistic, but at least it has an original plot and characters by the series' standards. 3 sucks though.

Was there a legit two tone GBP?

If I remember correctly "Double Dragon II" on GameBoy may be a reskinned Kunio (That Super Dodge Ball / River City Ransom guy) game that was released in America. I'm sure it is but I'm not going to google it :^)
Oh and Mario 2 might actually been Dong Dong Pong in Nippon.

Gargoyles Quest was on Gameboy, its part of a series which was on Gameboy, then NES with Gargoyles Quest 2, then Demon's Crest on SNES. Gargoyles Quest is still the cheapest game in the series.
I wouldn't call it a "gem" but James Bond 007 is pretty fun for the ~3 hours it lasts.
I am also partial to Metroid 2, even though its lack of map can make things really confusing.

True, but both versions are different enough to be worth playing. I actually prefer the Double Dragon version to be honest. It has my favorite rendition of the Double Dragon title theme.
I remember playing contra 4 on the gameboy when I was a kid and thinking it was a really great game then later discovering that it was on the snes ,still a great port

Not enough people realize this port occurred.

Done by Factor 5, so it had to be a quality piece of work. I enjoy it more than the SNES version since I can actually beat it and the top down stages are really fun. Operation C is also very great.

What you and the rest of guys here consider to be lesser known gems is really baffling... no retarded. You probably think SML1 or MM5 are hidden gems. Get real.

Faceball 2000.
Faceball is a 3D FPS with support for 16 player PvP.
It's pretty fun to play with friends.
I think I'm the only one on this board who mentions it.
