No batteries in it, so it fired right up. Loading w/sound so you all can appreciate the nostalgia.

I wish those here could have experienced the 90's. It was all hope, glory, success, fun, entertaining. It was the best time.

For me, Final Fantasy Legend II was my favorite for the GB. Absolutely stellar music too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNi2G0oXTiE

My mistake as a child was muting the volume on my gameboy all the time to conserve battery life. So much great music missed.
vosuraekira
And that was my first game I owned too (had the old-school grey brick though).
keyblader1985
I liked the GBA remake Sword of Mana. Had a lot more content and two playable main characters.
relsky
Fuuuuuuuck that was my FIRST game, other than tetris. A lifelong RPG fan was born as soon as I saved the girl from the kobolds.
Aristocrats
At the end of the game you defeat God and iirc one of your best weapons was a special kind of epic punch. Not a God. GOD. Saitama style.

Put it back. Put it back. Someone put it there on purpose. Nothing turns on with no batteries, unless…

What a great song.
mcgravin
Is this the one (or one of the ones) where the end boss is God?
Magus25
I loved that game. The first mana series game. It was very different from the FF games of the time.
stephanmarshay
It looks.. Like the title of the game is Anal Fantasy!!
banelinq
When I was young I really wanted one, but we were poor. So I saved all money from grandparents from birthdays. All the money was saved …
banelinq
and when I have enough and went to the store, lady in store told me that GMC is not that great and battery won’t last so I would be better
banelinq
to save the money. I was young so I listened .. and never played on Game boy. So how is it? Should I try to get one now?
Feralkyn
NGL with this font, in the thumbnail, I thought it was some joke image. It looked like Anal Fantasy.

Seiken Densetsu 1! (Secret of Mana was #2)

And Secret of Mana 2 was #3
LargeAlbatross
Brings me back to spending hours at work playing this specific game, waiting for the phone to ring. I'd only get a call every 15-20 mins.
sethb1978
Thought it said Anal Fantasy at first

That's on you, not me.

The third entry into this series on GB is what got me hooked.
Pheehelm
Seiken Densetsu 3 on Game Boy? What? How?
SavageHonesty
I think they're confused and thinking of Final Fantasy Legend 3 from the SaGa series on GB. Similarly also not actually a FF title.
Realhousehusbandofwi
Yep, I was. Thank you for the clarification.

Behind ze bookcase?
Illpostcheese
Yeah, someone lost it long ago. But they only have their shelf to blame.
sjpace76
I got stuck in that game. Ended up grinding to level 99 unable to figure out how to advance the story. Fun title.
Illpostcheese
You were in a desert trying to get into a castle.
sjpace76
Maybe, been thirty years of wondering and killing stuff. Combat was good.

Find the palm trees, do a figure 8 around them five times. If it doesn't work, do it in reverse.

Did you continue?

Not my save game. But I did New Game.
zFUBARz
Just beware the batteries on older cartridge's are of the age to fail so saves can go kapoot any time.
Illpostcheese
Thanks, took 5 minutes to fix.
FindingSerenity9
Years ago I rebought my atomic purple gbc and my childhood nemesis: Shadowgate. Finally beat the game, and now both are on my shelf display.
Zathraas
Fun game. Congrats! I still haven't beaten it, because I refuse to use a guide.
FindingSerenity9
It’s insane without a guide!! I got through 80% on my own but still needed a guide for the rest.
LuminoZero
The saddest part of the ending was returning your faithful Chocobro to his mama.
PlayerBhatin
Final fantasy Mashed up with Zelda Mechanics, it's the Reese's peanut butter cup of games!
Asadsadsadclown
The adventure games would eventually become their own series as the Mana series. Adventure 1 getting a soft reboot as Sword of Mana.

You son of a bitch. ?

I was already suspicious because how the fuck do you manage to damage a trace INSIDE the game cart unless you did it on purpose lol
Sticklebrickk
After 30 years and countless hours, you'd be surprised.
serenityfast
Yes, I would be surprised. I've never seen it, and I've seen a LOT of banged up carts.

Sick, I used to have the see through purple one.

Wish I did! My mom pulled the classic mom move of, “giving it away”.
JackAxton
It took me 3 fucking years to figure out the stupid hint of "Palm Trees and 8" on the exact same color gameboy. Good times.
ItispronouncedGIFwithahardG
Your comment is from over a year ago, but I somehow stumbled upon this post and FUCK that hint, it was useless. No internet existed at the time to help. By the time I accidentally opened that cave I was so overleveled from wandering in the desert that the rest of the game was a joke.
relsky
Same. I never would have gotten it without a friend from my taekwondo class telling me.
LordWhirlin
JFC... Same... For fucking EVER. Wasn't until the days of the internet that I figured it out and revisited when I found the GBA
yourclevernusername
I couldn’t figure out the jukebox clue right off…didn’t know how these games worked yet lol
MektaSatakOz
Speaking of stupid hints: LOOK TO THE LEFT OF THAT POST. Looked everywhere on Route 13 and couldn't find crap.
nisus8
Haha, my Nintendo Power subscription came in handy here for solving this one back in 1991.
Rusarules
DUDE, SAME! I was overleveled for the rest of the game and maxed out my gold. Randomly did a figure 8 around those trees.
StillNotYouTube
THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!!! I still remember that stupid "hint" 30 years later.
JackAxton
That cryptic bastard and his bag of Fang! This was the first thing I searched for when I got the internet.
Zega000
Never heard of this game
Mooseshaver
Mystic Quest in the uk

Now you have!
HOWDOYOUDOSPACES
The name sucks. This is actually the prequel to Secret of Mana. You can buy it as part of the secret of mana collection.
Zega000
Was it fun though?
JohnPtempkinReborn
Just like Chrono Cross got crapped on by trigger fans but it wasn't really a Chrono game, just labeled for the name recognition
Illpostcheese
It also had Chrono Trigger optional characters.
Illpostcheese
They were trying to pull on Final Fantasy's popularity.
Pheehelm
Granted, it does have chocobos and moogles in it, plus Lich, Kary, and Kraken as bosses, so it's not exactly *not* a Final Fantasy.
Pheehelm
It's more like FF mixed with the first Legend of Zelda. That said, the Japanese name is "Seiken Densetsu" = "Legend of the Sacred Sword."
