Gaming - Strategy and Tactics Games for the Game Boy Color

Ranked #5,704 in Games, #254,336 overall

Another system that was seriously lacking in strategy love. Thankfully the (very few) games that were indeed released for it were great.

Don't be scared by the Amazon price, used copies are far cheaper (2$).

The game looks really good for a game boy color title - like it could be on the SNES. Do not let the handheld factor affect you - it has everything a RTS should have: various troups, abilities to build from resources; farming and other classic RTS themes; and plenty of fighting. While it may have smaller maps, and not as much variety in troops as a "real" RTS, it is still a great title. The controls might take some getting used to at first, since you don't have a mouse and keyboard.

Heroes of Might and Magic is probably the only series that managed to make a decent game of this genre for the Game Boy Color.

Here's a lens fully about the series

Heroes of Might and Magic II

Beautiful graphics (for the GBC) so if graphics are important, getting the 2nd Heroes would be better.
You have more control over towns and how you can build your resources from them. There are more types of environments and plenty of maps.
